9/11


On the 9/11 presentations I managed to learn lots of facts and events of this sad topic. One of the main subjects was what happened on flight 93 and all of the various points of views. We learned how people reacted to it, how it shocked and it still does, shock people’s lives. We learned how important it was for the entire world, how it changed todays living.

I personally thing this is a very serious topic, a terrorist attack which managed to  hurt the entire world, it hurt and shocked, countries, cities, families, religions, society, human minds, and many others. It was a huge deal and it still is 10 years after. Why? Because it literally changed how we leave now a days. How we think of different people and religions. How we act, our fears. The government changed, security around the world dramatically increased. But apart from the fact that it is a serious thing, it is also an extremely sad thing as well. Because it left behind incomplete families and broken hearts. Kinds without a mother or a father, parents without daughters or sons, grandparents, uncles, aunts, childhood friends, wifes, husbands etc. For the memorial of those who sadly died in the event, Ground Zero was created on behave of those loved ones who were left behind so that they will always be remembered by all of us.T
hese topics showed me how dangerous are these terrorists groups. But it also showed me how media twists our minds and our opinions on others. In this case are the Muslims which are horribly blamed for this attack. So I really learned on how to catch the story by my point of view and not agree the bias idea. A great quote that highlights my example is: from a Muslim ‘Your 9/11 is our  24/7’.

I actually learned what really happened on 9/11. I knew some things but not much. Now I know how people reacted, decisions taken and basically everything I need to know. I also learned other problems that were created outside from the terrorist attack. Like the racism and wars and all of that created by this event.
