...What can anyone say about September eleventh 2001? Just about everyone would say that it was a tragedy, a dark day for New Yorkers, one of the worst days in American history and huge wake up call for the US. Anyone who has said any of these would be correct, but 9/11 wasn’t just that. While it was a tragic event that took the lives of many good Americans, it also brought out one of the greatest things about America, the strength and fortitude of its people. After 9/11 the American people pulled together as a Nation. Just like most other terrorist attacks, 9/11 was a crime against all that we stand for as a country: our democracy, our acceptance of all religions, and all the different types of people who live in America. There have been many...

...9/11: What May Have Gone Unnoticed Should a country be able to trust their government? When asked that question most would reply with yes, or maybe even a “definitely”. What if everything citizens heard from the government through the news and media wasn’t the truth? Would it frighten people? Would it anger civilians who have put all of their trust into their government? Many may not know, but some groups believe that the U.S. government may be deceiving its people. As Americans, we have all probably heard of the disaster that occurred on September 11, 2001. It will live on in the memories of many people forever. When analyzing the death, destruction, and terror, many realize one more thing lies beneath. That something is confusion. Many...

Shortly after 9/11, many political leaders and social studies educators advocated teaching about 9/11 and its aftermath because these events provided a unique “teachable moment,” even though there was often bitter disagreement about what ideological messages related to 9/11 should be promoted in the schools. Within one year, many non-profit organizations and even the United States Department of State developed materials on 9/11 that were disseminated to secondary schools. As the first editions of post-9/11 textbooks came out, it was also evident that content about 9/11 and what happened in its wake would be given special attention. To investigate what was being communicated to young people about 9/11 and its aftermath to students, we analyzed nine curricula from the non-profits and the government in the first few years after 9/11, a sample of nine of history and government textbooks published between 2004–06, and then a subsample...

It covers aspects of corporate strategy, industry structure, and the functioning of capital markets. The course consists of three segments. In the first segment, students do a comprehensive analysis of the assigned cases and prepare a written report that includes identification of major issues, alternative approaches, analysis of each alternative, and a concluding part in which students take a clear cut position in how they would approach the problem as a decision maker and defending their position. The Case study is done by groups (three to four students per group). The text analysis should not exceed five pages. It should be typed and double-spaced. A lengthy summary of the case is unnecessary and redundant. The space constraint should discipline students to be concise at differentiating major issues from the less important ones. All the tables, graphs and related analysis, which are not counted in the 3-5 pages...

They argue that the process of working toward a goal would be meaningless without its achievement. Take a position on this issue. Use reasons and specific examples to support your ideas. 9 Many schools require students to participate in volunteer programs in their communities as a requirement for graduation.

What concrete details from the photo (if any) are analyzed explicitly? What details are analyzed implicitly? They analyze the way their facial expressions are and how they are sunbathing on the wall means that these people are happy and not caring about what is going on behind them. They seem to be ignoring the terrors facing them. Through out the article the meaning switches from judging the individuals, but rather more as a way to depict history. They also talk about the water & buildings symbolizing things. 2. How and when was this photo released? Why? The photo was not released until 5 years after 9/11 in 2006. The main reason because it was a controversial picture of 9/11 because the people photographed were smiling and enjoying their day, with the twin towers in smoke in the background. Almost all pictures that had been released and published were very sad and devastating. 3. How was the photo initially interpreted? In what ways was this interpretation flawed according to Jones? The photo was initially interpreted that Americans failed to learn deep lessons from that tragic day, but rather just went on enjoying their own lives without taking into consideration what else was happening.
