“The mighty towers themselves were reduced to nothing…. People scrambled for their lives, but they didn't know where to go,” New York Times writer N. R. Kleinfield wrote these things in an article on September 12th, 2001. Just one day before this article was written, a plane flew into each of the Twin Towers, a plane flew into the pentagon, and the fourth and final plane crashed into an empty field in Pennsylvania.

In saying that in a decade, Clarkson became a microcosm for the world at large, St. John implies that it served to illustrate a lot of the situations that were present in the world despite the fact that it had been so far removed from them for so long. Due to the rapid influx of refugees, clarkson became more ethnically diverse and was forced to deal with culture shock as the residents were forced to interact with people from multiple backgrounds, as opposed to the homogeneity that they had been accustomed to. In several cases, the residents had to adjust their lifestyles in order to account for the changes that were taking place in their town. Such was the case with the opening of the new mosque or the new restaurants (38) for which they had

“I still couldn’t believe what happened that day!” Michael exclaimed with his croaked voice. “I literally thought the world was ending right in front of me, my wife, and my baby as the Twin Towers were reduced to rubble.” Sometimes it was surprising to see how an hour could turn the financial capital of the world into a state of chaos and anarchy. I was near the area reporting about a local family living under poverty when tragedy struck back in 2001, and now I am presenting to you a story of a survivor of this horrific incident.

It is extremely important to tell your friends and family where you are going whenever you go out hiking or doing other activities. Sharing where you are going and when you will arrive back to a family member or friend can save your life. If you don't tell someone where you are going, it could cost you your life! Just by telling someone it assures that if something bad happens to you and you need help, you can get it.

To the right isn’t really Reisterstown anymore, it’s another nobody town, but turn left and you’ll see everything. There are houses on the right, a high school on the left, but you don't look at either because you're too afraid of hitting, said high schoolers jaywalking in the middle of the road. You stop at the stoplight and there are mini marts, vape shops, and gas stations. The high school is Franklin Sr. High School, you’ll see the kids flooding to the McDonalds next door, or Burger King across the street. Travel farther and things become more spread out, you'll find a Brick Bodies, then homemade shops that nobody really goes into

New York City’s population is a little over 8.3 million people. 8.3 million people are spread out among five boroughs and each have their own set routine. Each one of those 8.3 million see New York in a different way becuase “You start building your private New York the first time you lay eyes on it” (“City Limits” 4). Some people are like Colson Whitehead who “was born here and thus ruined for anywhere else” (“City Limits” 3). Others may have “moved here a couple years ago for a job. Maybe [they] came here for school” (“City Limits” 3). Different reasons have brought these people together. They are grouped as New Yorkers, but many times, living in New York is their only bond. With on going changes and never ending commotion, it is hard to

Arturo Madrid in his essay entitled, “Missing People and Others” in the book, Race, Class and Gender, speaks about his form of otherness that he experienced in schools. Madrid has a Latino ethnicity and is a citizen of the United States as are his parents, grandparents and great-grandparents. However, he learned about othering before he knew of the concept. Though his school tried to erase otherness through denial, it only amplified the issue. He viewed his educational experience as a socialization process where you learned to become “American” (Race, Class and Gender, 2010, p. 18). Instead of viewing his educational experience as an academic journey, due to othering it become more of a social journey. Madrid realized early on that otherness was built into the American system by the society around in every facet. Therefore, he saw this systemic rationale of othering permeate into the school system. The denial almost seemed like a dismissal of the person’s culture and ethnicity. The implicit denial existed in many facets such as economic, political, cultural and social through the absences of the “others” (Race, Class and Gender, 2010, p. 18). However, schools is where it was felt the most severely.

It felt like forever had passed, but as I kept looking up at the clock, I realized it had only been a few minutes from since we first reached the huge break room tables. My supervisor finally went up to the front of the break room and through his tears, he managed to inform us that hijackers had taken over airplanes and collided them into the Twin Towers in New York City. So much silence filled the room; you could hear a pin drop. Everybody’s blank and puzzled gazes twisted into an afraid and horrified look, like they had just seen a ghost appear. Mr. Smith, the vice president of the company, told us not to fear too much, New York is a long way away from us. Not one person moved an inch. There were looks of horror and shock throughout the break room. A few seconds of quietness passed when finally Mrs. Smith turned on the televisions in the break room. The only thing I saw was smoke, dust, haze, torn clothing, buildings on fire, and people running around trying to take cover. My mind will never forget that picture, it still feels like it happened just yesterday. We all sat completely horrified in fear as everyone pondered if we would

In Sudan the communities condition is very poor, from the lack of food to the dangers of animals preying on what can soon be you! Over 5.1 million Sudanese people are in need of some type of aid. There are poor architectural conditions such as their homes, which they refer to call them mud huts are one of somethings that can kill them because of the unstableness of the mud huts it can collapse on them while doing simple things such as sleeping or purifying the water that they walked 8 hours for.

The examples focused on the ethnicity of the residents in order to dispel old beliefs such as how the suburbs were populated with various “Cleaver” type families, stereotype. In addition, it brought the importance of the political and economic agendas the ability to align their goals as necessary to produce a successful model. The promotion and creation of sustainable redevelopment using Long Island as the showcase first American modern suburb in illustration. The film sporadically jumped to the 2008 Presidential election and an important local election which were expected to significantly help or hinder the film’s agenda of creating a sustainable vision, which I found distracting. Other places besides Long Island used in the film for example projects were Arlington, Chicago, Reston, Cleveland, Minneapolis, and Orange

It started out as a typical morning in the World Trade Center. 14, 154 people were arriving that morning for work at 1 and 2 World Trade Center. Until the unbelievable happened. At 8:46 am the north tower was struck by a American Airlines Flight 11 headed from Boston to Los Angeles. At first the people in the tower thought an explosion occurred like in 1993 World Trade Center bombing , or a little two passenger plane hit the building. It wasn’t until people on the ground found a very large landing gear, luggage to Los Angeles that anyone realized it was a passenger plane.

The bright blue sky of that fateful morning soon turned to grey. Smoke and ashes perforated the lungs of escaping people as they scrambled to get to safety. The streets of Manhattan, earlier bustling with automobiles now was a sea of fearful people. They ran as fast as they could, trying to escape the inferno, trying to imagine exactly what had just happened to them. Many were unaware of two planes, many thought it was perhaps a bomb exploding as it had in the past with considerably far less damage to the buildings. It was to everyone’s surprise and horror that the towers

When the two planes hit the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001, the world paused in awe because the most majestic monument came crashing down at an uncanny speed, creating the thickest impenetrable cloud of smoke filling the streets of New York City. Every millisecond the towers were descending millions of people were slowly beginning to grasp the incomprehensible and unforgettable disaster that would change the lives of millions of Americans. Every smell, sound, sight, taste, touch from that fateful day produced a tragedy beyond our words; however all of the events leading up to the actual act of violence and the affairs after the violence sustain this tragedy, foster future tragedies, and further our development of the human experience.

Ms. Gibbs piece gave a detailed description of how the events affected everyone, directly and indirectly. She writes in detail about the devastation of the area where the Twin Towers were located and how people wondered the area looking for loved ones and for answers. Her focus was on the people of New York and how their lives were impacted by the events and how this one day of events united them forever.

One of Ms. Brown's coworker quickly called her daughter, who was touring the World Trade Center. Ms. Brown's coworker lost contact with her daughter and did not hear from her again for four long days. All the cell phone company's signals were all stationed on top of the Twin Towers and when the buildings fell, all service was lost. All communication was gone and in the streets, there were silence. Smoke spilled out of the burning towers and painted the sky black. People jumped out of the flaming buildings, desperate for escaption. When the towers crumbled, a black substance covered the streets and people as they ran for help.
