The Effects Of Sept. 11 On The Nation Investigating the Effects of September 11 On the Nation The terrorist attacks of September 11 have had a massive effect on the United States. These attacks affected everyone and everything; adults, children, government, the economy and transportation. The effects have been both physical and psychological putting stress on the entire nation. September 11 has been called “the Pearl Harbor of the 21st century” and that day will leave a lasting impression on anyone old enough to remember it. The people of the United States are forever changed by these events. The attacks have brought on feelings of hatred, fear, revenge, and worry, but these feelings have been accompanied by greater feelings of love, unity, strength and pride (Fraenkel 21). The feelings of hatred and fear have combined and left some people with Xenophobia, the fear or hatred of strangers or foreigners or of what is strange or foreign (Merriam Webster Dictionary). The Xenophobia resulting from September 11 is aimed at Muslims and their faith or at all Middle Eastern people. The people of the U.S. are also demanding revenge and reparations for the attacks. These demands have resulted in President Bush declaring an “all out war on terrorism.”(Bush’s speech).
