How Has 9/11 Changed the Physical World In the Past 10 Years?

When I asked my dad how he thought 9/11 has changed the physical world the last 10 years, he answered that air port security has been increased and improved, in many countries.My Father says that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are results of the terrorist actions in New York. Fear of terrorism has increased in many places.Today, air port security has improved a lot.

Parent Interview: How has the world changed since 9/11?

When I ask my father whether he has noticed any changes in the world since 9/11 he concludes that the main changes have occurred within airport security, commenting on the replacement of stainless steel cutlery with plastic utensils, adding that this event has also influenced people's awareness of terrorism. This happening has created a lot of tension between nations, while scarring witnesses and frightening all others with the fearful knowledge that no one is safe. 9/11 has not only made a mark in our history books but has also reminded us of our vulnerability.

 When I interviewed my Dad this is his answer. After 9/11 all travelers need to accept more strict security checks at airports. The airports need more space to accommodate (more space available) more people because check in and security check lines are longer and luggage is also better controlled. (9/11 affected the world by alerting people about how different people are in the world, because of religion, culture, nationality and race. In September 2011 I had to travel through Miami airport and a simple immigration and security check took six hours. Air traviling seems fun today but its not as fun as it looks.

How has 9/11 changed our ''physical world'' over the past 10 years?

       When I interviewed my mom about 9/11 she answered like this: The events of  9/11 have changed a lot of things around the world.The world is not safe any more, or at least we don't think it is.There is a lot of suspicion and there is a lot of intolerance toward people with different religion and different ethnic backgrounds than us.Traveling is not as safe anymore or is not that easy anymore.There is a lot of security,every where at the airports.This is because a war started, and because of this war many soldiers and civilians have died that count to thousands.Relations between east and west have become very intense and we think whoever is different than us is deemed to be suspicious.
