September 11, 2001, had a profound effect on the people of the United States.


After the September 11, 2001 event, the Americans have changed many of their habits; such as reacting very strong to the unfavorable things in their opinions, having much discrimination against to foreign people, especially the Arabian, and being afraid of everything because they think there is no safety area for them to live, even in their own country.

First off, if they think something effect as the negative way to them, they will have a very strong reaction. For example, the federal government now is reacting very robust about the Iran’s and North Korea’ nuclear problem even thought the Iran’s and the North Korea’s government are telling many times that they just develop the nuclear for the energy, not for the nuclear weapon. On the other hand, when the Americans watch on many channels, they hear that there are many kidnaps in Arabia and most of them focus to the Western, they are afraid of the Arabian areas and they in fact do not want to travel there. That is why the federal government strengthens their military affairs ability and is being able to attack any countries, which do not follow to their idea. Consequently, they have the drastic behaviors to the highly discerning problems.

Second, the Americans have much discrimination against to foreign people, especially the Arabian. Since they are scares to be attacked from many hostile countries with many terrorists, the federal government strengthens the security checking on all foreign people, especially on the Arabian. They in fact think that most of terrorists and criminal come from Arabia and foreign, so they want to protect their citizens and do not want the September 11, 2001 happens again, so they are tricky on checking security. Therefore, they may break some of the human’s underlying right; such as the personal right. As the consequent, they invisible segregation on foreign people and the new immigrants. create much

Third, they have been afraid of everything with non-reason. Therefore, they bring guns to protect themselves, and they do not want to talk with any strange person, etc. They are in fact inclined to be at around their residential areas because they know them clearly. Therefore, it is easy for you to be fired when you are in the strange area and go to ask for the direction. As the consequent, the American does not want to travel out of their country as much as before the September 11, 2001 problem because they are scaring everything without reason.

In conclusion, the September 11, 2001 problem had a profound effect on the people of the United States so they have change many of their habits and prefer to live safety in their own country. It is hard for them to overcome the real nightmare, but they have to pass on their lives because they live for their present and for their future, not for the past.

Unequal treatment of African American in the movie "Separate but Equal"

After watching the movie “Separate but Equal”, I can observe that it was unequal treatment of African American in the past. While the “white-students” had more than 30 buses to go to school, the African American (A.A) students had no one. They -A.A- had to walk 5 miles to school in the sunny, hot, dust or rain weather. They absolutely would get sick and they might not want to go to school because going to school would be their nightmare. In addition, they just had only one “common school”, which was transformed from a church. There were many different class-group studied at the same time, in the same room, with the same teacher. They studied in a dearth material and technical basis for study. They also did not have enough teachers for each “group class”. It was unfair since there were many teachers for “white students”; they had all full material, and technical for study, they had many schools with the large campus, etc. The A-A people had to pay tax as equal as the “while people” or even more than that, they could not enjoy the equal treatment in their lives. Therefore, they asked for their right by signing on the petition and sending it to the federal.
