9/11

9/11 to me is a very hard, sad day. I lost my uncle who worked in the first tower on the 104th floor. I remember that day pretty clearly considering how young I was. I didn't know what was going on, but I knew it wasn't good. A couple days after the attack, my parents sat me down and told me what has happened. It has been very hard on my family, but luckily we all have the love and support of one another to make it easier. America has been affected greatly both politically and socially. Socially, I can see Muslims in this country are discriminated against even though they are Americans, and could've been affected by the terrorist attacks as well. Politically, there are constant debate about the war that began for us to get our revenge. We now face challenges on whether or not to stay in the countries we invaded and how to pay for war due to our bad economy. Life in America continue to evolve and change, especially when it comes to security. Airports have a lot of technologies to prevent something like this from happening again. In the city, there are cameras everywhere and it seem like it has become much safer. Life in America would be much different if 9/11 never happened. Many people have a fear of flying while others wouldn't want to work in a tall building. I think "102 Minutes That Changed America" was a very good documentary showing what it was like being in the city and not knowing what was going on while witnessing the attacks.
