were many warnings from different members of the scientific community before 2006, nothing seemed to bring more attention to the debate from more walks of life, than the move "An Inconvenient Truth". This movie was so revolutionary that its creator, Al Gore Jr., with the help of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change would win the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize as a result from the movie (Nobelprize.org, 2007).

Nearly a decade and a half after the tragic and deadly attack of Islamic extremists of Al-Qaeda under leader Osama bin Laden known as 9/11, the effects are still felt and shown not only economically or politically, but on a deeper and more personal social level as well. The threats from ISIS have America on the brink of war yet again as the war on terror with the United States will never come to an end. Now called Patriot Day, September 11th was detrimental to the United States in many aspects…

The answer is yes, we can change. And we are changing, just, not as drastically as the times we are in are.

Going on to the internet anyone can connect with anyone from almost anywhere. You can have friends all over the world, from different backgrounds and different lifestyles. You can learn about so much from media sites like tumblr or twitter, so…

Before the terrorists attacks on September 11, 2001, the United States was at war with Iraq and had a presence in Saudi Arabia which lead to conflict to terrorist groups and terrorists attacks within the US, but no action was taken that would change American politics, society, or foreign policy. After the attacks, everything changed. The US became much strict in its search for and elimination of terrorism, both within the country and around the world. The events also brought the country together…

After the devastating events that occurred on September 11, 2001, the numbers 9 and 11 are no longer just two ordinary numbers. These numbers are a constant reminder to the American people that such a catastrophe is possible and no one can predict what the future holds.

The 2,977 deaths on that day in the World Trade…

The terrorist group Al Qaeda hijacked four planes on the morning of september 11, 20011. The planes being United Airlines flight 175, American Airlines flight 77, and United Airlines flight 93, and American Airlines flight 11. These planes would go down in…

Redemption plays a major role in “The Kite Runner” written by Khaled Hosseini as the book is about how Amir redeems himself after horrible decisions as a kid.
