9/11 Literature Review

Another aspect of war that was influenced is the war readiness being a factor in creating war (Ehrenreich, 598). This is significant due to the actions that the government has taken in the name of “military intervention” so as to deter nations from building up to war or a war crisis in the Middle East. WIth that, terrorism is now an excuse to go and continue building up nation 's’ military to counter criminal acts and to deter further weaponry buildup in terrorist areas. As one can see, 9/11 has impacted war in terms of politics, western presence, and military

Decision about whether to capture or kill a terrorist leaders is dependent upon the goals that the states aim to achieve. Capturing of a terrorist leader depicts the thought that he is a criminal authorised to a legal hearing. On the other hand, killing him is treating him as a challenger to the state’s peace. Thus this settlement depends upon the counterterrorism policies created by national rulers. With the emergence of the topic of decapitation, certain questions occupy our minds regarding the merits, demerits and effectiveness of this method of ending terrorist groups.

Many people believed the 9/11 conspiracy theories to be true, and the government knew or had planned that an attack was going to go down on this day. One conspiracy theory circling around after the 9/11 attacks was that insider traders knew about attacks before they happened. Right before the September 11th attacks, some fishy business happened within the stock market and the insurance firms. An “extraordinary” amount of put options were placed on the United Airlines and American Airline stocks, the same airlines that were hijacked during the attacks. Many people speculate that traders were tipped off about the attacks and profited from the tragedy.

Levin provides life threatening situations to speak out to those who are more strongly opinionated. In this instance Levin states that a terrorist has placed a bomb on an Island and is about to detonate it. The only way to prevent the detonation of the device is adherence to the demands that the terrorist provides (Levin 359). While analyzing the viewpoint and the tone of the writer, it is clear that he is afraid failure to follow the demands of the criminal would lead to the loss of many lives. He affirms that in his personal beliefs this case falls under the jurisdiction to torture such criminals, since it seems to be the only way to save the lives of the innocent.

He suggests that an objective definition of terrorism could be “the deliberate use or the threat to use violence against civilians in order to attain political, ideological and religious aims” (Ganor 288). It is important for a definition such as this to be accepted internationally as current definitions of terrorism can be abused by various factions. Many terrorist organizations use the current ambiguous definition of terrorism to promote their own interests and goals. Although politicians also promote their own interests and needs by making political use of the term “terrorism” by emphasizing the brutality of the term (Ganor 293). Another significant reason that an international definition for terrorism is adopted is to help emphasize the difference between terrorism

Although both attacks have different reasons of why they occurred The 911 attack was an attack by Al Qaeda led by Osama Bin Laden. This attack took place in New York City on September 11, 2001 at 8;46 am. There was more than just one attack that occurred that day. On the day of the attack, there was a series of four coordinated terrorist

Messages are distributed through a systematic projection to places that are virtually far away from the country or region, where the terrorist activity has taken place; with the aim of proliferating an innate perceptible threat or fear of terrorism at large. The international press uses various metaphors and frames such as ‘Islamic Terrorism’, ‘Muslim terrorist’ and radical Muslim’ to propagate islampohobia; maligning the image of the entire Muslim community. These conscious efforts on the part of media leads to increasing need of surveillance and security, where different methods of racial profiling are used by the police against

Terrorism as stated in the Oxford English Dictionary is “The unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.” and calculated is “done with full awareness of the likely consequences.” From this we see that a calculated terrorist is one who made use of violence against civilians, fully understanding the consequences, in order to achieve a political goal. Next we can look into Brown’s motives for his crimes, James N. Gilbert lists 3 points as to what motivates some terrorists “1.Society is sick and cannot be cured by half measures of reform. 2.The state is in itself violent and can be countered and overcome only by violence. 3.The truth of terrorists cause justifies any action that supports it. While some terrorists recognize no moral law, others have their own “higher” morality.” 2(Taking Sides, 232) Brown believed society to have embraced a sickness through the act of slavery.

It is therefore necessary do in-depth analysis on terrorists’ motivation because their purpose reflects the methods and targets the terrorists are most likely to select. Domestic terrorism is any intended violent act that violates the criminal laws of a state and endangers the citizens of that particular state. These acts include violent right wings extremists, paramilitary organisations, abortion clinic bombers, violent anti-immigrant groups, use violence in terms of race and ethnicity and any other act that endangers the lives of citizens of a state or acts that violates the criminal laws of that particular state. Therefore, domestic terrorism refers to any kind of crime that violates the peace of domestic citizens. Another

Muslims in the United States were symbolically attached to the notion that they were likely connected to the 9/11 attacks and other future acts of terrorism (such as hiding a terrorist). The events of 9/11 intensified the fear of terrorism and the war on terror became the sole purpose of American politics, thus putting terrorism and war on the same outlook. Unfavorable views of Islam and overall negative views of Muslim may be associated with the support for the War on Terror. It is safe to say that public attitudes toward Muslims help one 's stance on the War on Terror. Cainkar expresses that terming a “war” on terrorism provokes fear and promotes violence.

The Aftermath of 9/11 on the New York Economy While looking at the recovery of the New York Economy we see that the terrorist attack that occurred on September 11th, 2001 considerably damaged multiple significant aspects. This attack started the extended struggle to maintain the strong economic view that the state of New York tried to withhold. Statements concerning the attack showed that the terrorists had the intention of destroying the head of the United States financial infrastructure. According to the History.com webpage “New York Stock Exchange resumes bond trading” the NYSE would become the top investment capital. This proves that New York is strongest economic and financial trading in the world which makes the state vulnerable to

After September eleventh in the year 2001,with the Al-Qaeda terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York-America 's economy has been hurt so deeply that it 's stableness has never been able to be regained. A study by The WorkingPaper 'evaluates the macroeconomic impacts of the 9/11 attack on U.S. real GDP growth and the unemployment rate by examining how forecasts of these variables were revised after the attack occurred2. " The economy was impacted greatly. So much that the house market crashed and an economic recession came to be known by the American people. It is stated but some citizens that the attack led to a 'wake up ' call for the people towards the American economy so much so that The

The perfect breeding grounds for terrorism are found in the countries whose administration lacks confidence, cracks and deteriorates after a terrorist attack, which is exactly what those terrorist groups want. Terrorist might also attack the United States in hopes of getting them involved into their local conflict, by pressuring the government to

As time elapsed from September 11, 2001, the public began to break ideas about who was to blame for the attacks on September 11. A vast majority believed that the 9/11 attacks were solely to blame from the Islamist radical group, Al-Qaeda, a terrorist regime that sought to rebel against western civilization norms and enact their hate among the United States. The other idea, which is highly noted as a conspiracy theory, was that government knew the terrorist attacks were likely to happen and the only reason the government took a back seat was to conduct a reason to mobilize troops into the war-riddled Middle East. Whether the public believed either or, a paranoia was created, later to be recognized as Post-9/11 Paranoia. This paranoia would harbor certain ideals in American brains, creating a specific view and caution for certain areas, actions and personnel.
