Reflecting the attack of the Red Scare, the World Trade Center and the Pentagon was attacked by terrorist that were followers of by Osama Bin Laden. The terrorist were determined to kill many Americans as possible.

In closing, the Red Scare and 9/11 mirror a lot of resemblances.

Racial profiling is a very important issue that individuals in society face every day. This problem occurs in low income or poverty-stricken areas throughout cities and communities across the nation. Hundreds of anecdotal testimonials allege that law enforcement officials at all levels of government are infringing upon the constitutional rights and civil liberties of racial and ethnic minorities through a practice called “racial profiling” (Ward, 2002). So what is racial profiling? According to the National Institute of Justice, racial profiling by law enforcement is commonly defined as a practice that targets people for suspicion of crime based on their race, ethnicity, religion or national origin (National Institute of Justice, 2013).

The Boston Massacre is an event most Americans and British students learn about over the course of their education. In America, we learn that British soldiers fired upon innocent civilians, although this may not have been the case. British historians have referred to the Boston Massacre as the "Incident on King Street". After looking over the "Captain Thomas Preston 's Account of the Boston Massacre", as well as "Boston Massacre Trial Depositions" I believe that American historians should refer to the "Boston Massacre" as the "Incident on King Street". The definition of a massacre refers to an unnecessary and random killing of a large number of individuals.

The Effect of Crispus Attucks Death Crispus Attucks was an important part in American history because of his presence in the Boston Massacre, his role as a Revolutionary Martyr, and his trials.

He is “an important figures in African-American history, not for what he did for his race but for what he did for all oppressed people everywhere.” (Who Was Crispus

In a span of 10 years, the Holocaust killed over 7 million people, that’s just as much as the population of Hong Kong. In the book Night, by Elie Wiesel, Wiesel shares his experience on how he survived the Holocaust and what he went through. How he dealt with the horrors and even to how he felt of his dad’s death and how he saw himself after it was all over. As he tried to publish it he was constantly turned down due to the fact of how horrid and truful it was. He still tried and tried until it was finally published.

It was based very little on rage, in fact, it was mostly an accident. The infamous Boston Massacre of March 5, 1770 was the result of the Patriots protesting, Britain’s outrageous laws, and the gruesome consequences wounded three, and even killed five innocent Patriots. The laws passed by the British caused protests that harmed the economies and lives of both the

It took place in both societies; in Fahrenheit Mildred and other unknown people tried to take their lives because they were not happy. In the U.S, people have some of those same feelings. People hold in emotions or struggle with happiness, but in America there are programs and people trained to help. In America instead of hiding the problem there are ways to help. According to the studies at Western Michigan University around 25 percent of people who kill themselves had previously attempted suicide.

Mass shooting episodes have increased over recent decade and received substantial media coverage during the last year. Multiple schools, clubs, and churches, and public places across the United States have been impacted, resulting in the deaths of innocent people. The United States has more mass shootings than any other country between 1966 and 2012. There has been shootings in public places receiving media coverage and giving the perception that they are becoming the new normal. Research is showing how mass shooting effects the mental health of individuals in their community, schools, and families.

Days after the assassination President Lyndon Johnson made November 25 the day of mourning for the death of John F Kennedy (“John F Kennedy’s Assassination”). It is three days after his assassination. It was a nation wide event. After the first hour of him being dead there was great confusion in the nation. Since this was during the Cold War or World War II some people thought it was an attack against our nation.

The media is known for not always having the facts right no matter how high end it is, but still people taken what they say as factual evidence. An example of this was the Boston bombing tragedy. Sunil Tripathi became the last victim of the event when he was wrongly accused of the bombings. this started on twitter when a woman stated that the young man looked like one of the suspects several others agreed. Nevertheless, this news traveled (lee, 2015) “even prompting some journalists (including Digg 's Ross Newman, Politico 's Dylan Byers, Newsweek 's Brian Ries, NBC 's Luke Russert, and Buzzfeed 's Andrew Kaczynski) to spread word of Tripathi 's possible guilt” (para.

Before the terrorist attack of September 11, 2001, our country had gone through the policing eras of “the political, reform, and community with the four different policing models of traditional, community policing, problem-oriented and zero-tolerance” (Oliver, 2006, p. 49). The attack caused major changes in policing for several reasons. The main reason was a fear by the citizens of another major attack.

The article by Karen Sternheimer provides some insight into the stats of murder in America. In doing so, the article also highlights some issues with the media today. We learn that the media turned a statistic in way to help themselves instead of properly providing the real statistic. What the media provided was based on a small number of people, but when looked at from a larger pool of people, it can be seen the opposite had occurred (the murder rate had decreased). We also learn that most murder victims are male, specifically, African American males.

According to the New York Times journalist Alan Schwarz, he suggests, “The N.F.L.’s concussion studies have faced questions since they were published” (“N.F.L.’s Flawed Concussion Research and Ties to Tobacco Industry”). The NFL has formed a committee to conduct researches on concussions and its effects, although many data and researches are flawed and concealed from the public. Alan Schwarz also commented, “Confidential data obtained by The Times shows that more than 100 diagnosed concussions were omitted from the studies” (Schwarz). In order for NFL to fully gain profit without any backlashes on “not conducting a research” from the public, the NFL decided to create a study based on falsified information and omitted data. As a result, fans and even doctors was unaware of the situation on concealment.
