America and Terrorism in the 21st Century

On September 11h 2001, terrorist attacked the United States. Four coordinated attacks were carried out by Islamic terrorist group named Al-Qaeda. More than 3,000 Americans were killed and 6,000 injured in these attacks. Life after 9/11 was never the same, society changed in many ways. New laws and regulations were made in airports to increase security. The Federal government created homeland security in 2003 to protect against any further attacks. “Following 9/11, the US government also channeled tens of billions of dollars into the newly created Department of Homeland Security (DHS)” (Gaibulloev & Sandler, 2019). Immigration policies were reshaped, which led to discrimination, racism and hate from the American people who were scared and hurt after this horrible event. 9/11 also changed the work life, employee attitudes changed, they became more concerned with spending time at home and prioritizing family. The American people suffered a great deal of mentally after 9/11.

April 15th2013, Islamic terrorist attacked the beloved traditional Boston Marathon by placing 2 bombs close to the finish line. This attacked killed and injured many American citizens. “On April 15, 2013, shortly before 3:00 p.m., two bombs made from pressure cookers exploded near the finish line, three people were killed, and more than 250 were injured” (Corbett et al.,2023). Many Americans lives changed that day. Terrorism has caused fear all over America, I believe domestic and global attacks can be stopped. Strategies to prevent terrorism include stronger security, harsh punishment for terrorist and sharing information with international allies to collect data and prevent these attacks. Improving policies and crisis intervention can also help reduce terrorism.
