...Compare and Contrast Essay#1 Even though 9/11 and the bombing of Pearl Harbor were two different events, they both hurt the U.S. There are two speeches that I am going to compare and contrast. The first one is,” Infamy” spoken by President Franklin D. Roosevelt after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The second is ,” 9/11 Address to the Nation” spoken by George W.

The first speech,”Infamy”, was given on December 8, 1941, while the speech,”9/11 Address to the Nation” was given on September 11, 2001. The time period for the first speech is in the 1940’s where the military wasn’t at its strongest, and also the Battle of Britian had also just...

...has great merit, and well deserves to be preserved. Experimental philosophy, you will find, is nearly interested in the subject of it; and on this account there seems to be particular reason for thinking that a communication of it to the Royal Society cannot be improper. He had, you know, the honour of being a member of that illustrious Society, and was much esteemed by many as a very able mathematician. In an introduction which he has writ to this Essay, he says, that his design at first in thinking on the subject of it was, to find out a method by which we might judge concerning the probability that an event has to happen, in given circumstances, upon supposition that we know nothing concerning it but that, under the same circumstances, it has happened a certain number of times, and failed a certain other number of times. He adds, that he soon perceived that it would not be very difficult to do this, provided some rule could be found, according to which we ought to estimate the chance that the probability for the happening of an event perfectly unknown, should lie between any two named degrees of probability, antecedently to any experiments made about it; and that it appeared to him that the rule must be to suppose the chance the same that it should lie between any two equidifferent degrees; which, if it were allowed, all the rest might be easily calculated in the common method of proceeding in the doctrine of chances. Accordingly, I find among his papers a very ingenious solution...

...the North Tower and shortly after another hijacked plane flew right into the South Tower. The North Tower has already fallen and the South one is about ready to fall. We do not know how many are dead and how many are injured but stay tuned for more information later tonight on the 6 o'clock news. Its obvious that 9/11 was the worst terrorist attack this nation has ever seen. After reading that I am sure those who don’t know much about 9/11 have a lot of questions well I am going to answer a few of those question that they might have. How was Al Qaeda able to hijack the planes on 9/11. Al Qaeda was able to hijack the planes because they bought multi tools because at the time knifes with a blade smaller than 4 inches were allowed on the plane. They also took flight lessons and used a flying simulator that showed them what it will be like when they are driving and it showed them how to fly planes. The terrorists who were going to hijack the planes slipped thru holes in airport security which helped them bring explosives and other items that weren't allowed on planes. If...

...pilots began their official flight training in Venice, Florida (Inside 9/11: War on America). Also in that same year, radical Islamists planned and implemented another attack on the United States. In October, they attacked the U.S.S. Cole, a warship, located of the coast of Yemen. Using suicide bombers, they successfully attacked the ship and killed many Americans. Following the attack, current President Clinton took no action and after his inauguration, President Bush did the same. This concerned many Americans about the threat building over seas and their overall safety. Little did they know the eventual hijackers of the planes used during the attack had been living among them for almost over a year. Also before September 11, 2001, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) received a total of fifty-two warnings about possible Al Qaeda...

...and Official Responses to 9/11 in Germany and The United States written by scholar Peter Knight. The article critically analyzes the conspiracy theories that emerged in American society years after the tragic events of 9/11. Knight’s main assertion through out the article, is that 9/11 conspiracy theories have more in common with the official reports of the events of 9/11 than many people would assume. He does this my showing comparing and contrasting the two accounts, highlighting the similarities in their narratives. Firstly, the author supports his claim by showing how they both reinforce an essentialist framework of thinking. Firstly, there was a rejection of any blame or accountability, as president Bush...

...Exercise One This article was really interesting and I personally liked the way he broke each aspects of high and low policing. Even the way he incorporated different countries and how they utilized policing to help them solve or reframe from the issue that has happen overtime. It seem to me the main reasoning for policing was to protect, whether it was high, low, private and public. Policing are establish for protecting, with this method there were it had to get messy just to get the job done. Higher policing would get information out of the victim by torturing them, and low policing would do matters under their rules and regulations. From my understanding low policing are considered “The Law”, the ones in uniform that is here to shield the general public or community. (Brodeur, 2007, p. 34) Low policing are required to follow the rules, yet high policing are granted with the authority to get the job done by any means necessary. The both provide information within their territory, however after 9/11 and other attacks around the world that method has changed. Both...

...Muslims in America before and after 9/11 Imagine yourself in a place where Muslims were called terrorists after the 9/11 attack. Before 9/11 Muslims were free to live in America. Muslims didn’t meet people outside of their faith groups. After 9/11 attack Muslims were treated really badly and they were forced to meet people outside of their faith groups. The recent study from Pew Researcher center, 10 years later, 55 percent of Muslim Americans say that it has become more difficult to be a Muslim in the United States. However, 66 percent of Muslim Americans say that life for Muslims is better here than in most Muslim nations (Jones). Before 9/11 attack Muslims in America were appreciated, but after the 9/11 attack which affected everybody, Muslims were looked down upon by the society. “Sept. 11 shook all of us. It was a horrible action that we will remember for as long as we live. We remember the date, we remember...

...Before 9/11 occurred, mass surveillance was not as prominent or necessary to ensure the safety of the country. Since 9/11, the government and the NSA have both used surveillance on its citizens so that terrorist attacks or threats to the nation’s security would not happen again. Although this type of surveillance could be beneficial, it is also a privacy concern for not only U.S. citizens, but also for people all around the world. This aspect of the surveillance made U.S. citizens uneasy because of the fact that they felt as if they were being violated. The Patriot Act established for the NSA, the ability to collect this information and spy on innocent people’s lives. This then gave the NSA access to information about people to keep the...

...How 9/11 Changed America Final Exam Essay 3/11/2016 On September 11, 2001 America watched in horror as an act of terror hit New York City. Two commercial airline planes were hijacked and rerouted to hit the World Trade Center buildings. Today the question is being asked, did this result from intelligence failures? My answer to that is yes. When something is going wrong and you do not know what is happening, that is an intelligence failure. November of 1941, the U.S. intelligence community knew that the Japanese were moving their fleets across the Pacific; however they could not quite figure out where the target location was. In November 1944, American and British intelligence knew that the Germans were massing around the Ardennes; it was not until the Battle of the Bulge did they find out why. In 1990, the U.S. intelligence community was aware that Saddam Hussein was moving armored forces in Iraq and various places; again we did not know why until it was too late. How many times does this have to happen before change is made? The intelligence community should know about people’s capabilities and their intentions. We do find out intentions some of the time, but not all of the time. The intelligence game is a zero-sum business. If you do not find intelligence all of the time, then what happened in New York will happen again. Maybe not in the same fashion, but something will happen. What happened? Nineteen members of al-Qaeda hijacked 4 American Airlines Boeing...

...Week 9 Terrorism 1 Terrorism Bruce Miele HIS/135 November 16, 2014 Carol Jordan Week 9 Terrorism 2 Terrorism Terrorism has been a problem throughout the world for centuries. Acts of violence meant to instill fear into people have been a popular and effective way for extremists to get their messages across to their target groups. The September 11, 2001 bombings of the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon were the first major attacks on American soil since Pearl Harbor in 1941. Until then, Americans had never considered the possibility of such an attack in our country. It affected millions of people and the way they lived their lives. Many who were already afraid to fly, would never consider flying now. A personal experience I had at work , two months after the incident occurred, is proof of the change in attitudes and fears of flying Americans had at the time. My company needed to have a service technician on site in Denver, CO for a presentation they were having of a new product. My supervisor brought me into a private conference with him and asked me if I would be willing to fly from Boston, MA, where our company was located, to Denver. This would have never been handled in this fashion, prior to the bombings. I agreed to step up and told him, “If it happens, it happens, I can't change my life because of what happened.” People still live in fear of another terrorist attack like 9/11. There was...

...September 11, 2001 was a day of destruction and sorrow that took the lives of thousands of US citizens. On that day the US was hit with four coordinated terrorist attacks involving four Airline planes. This moment in history scared our nation and left us wondering why anyone would ever let something like this happen. These four attacks were thought to have been led by an Islamic terrorist group called al-Qaeda. It consisted of 19 al-Qaeda terrorists getting on four different planes: American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175, which were hijacked and sent flying into the North and South Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, American Airlines Flight 77 which crashed into the western side of the Pentagon in Arlington County, Virginia, and United Airlines Flight 93 which was intended to be flown into Washington D.C. but was taken over by a few passengers after the hijack. During the struggle Flight 93 unfortunately crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. All together these attacks claimed the lives of 2,996 people....

...Tuesday, September 11 in 2001, a devastating day for America. But did the media try to warn us about that day? Beforehand there were television shows, and games with warnings about that infamous day. Pop culture knew about 9/11 attacks and was trying to warn the American citizens by embedding hints that the twin towers in New York city would be the target of an attack. Television shows, games, and card games all tried to warn us. In season 3, episode 14 of Johnny Bravo called “Chain Gang Johnny”, it shows behind Johnny is a poster with a tower burning. The poster says that it was “COMING SOON”. The stunning thing about this is that this episode was released just months before 9/11 happened on April 27, 2001. Johnny Bravo, episode 14 “Chain Gang Johnny” If I did not convince you in that first conspiracy this one might convince you. The picture above is of a game in early 2001 named Trade Center Defender. A gamer had to shoot down planes that were heading to the World Trade Center. If a player could not defend the towers, the towers would get flown into and caught on fire, and the player would lose. Coincidence…. I think not! World Trade...
