a. 9/11 changed how we all viewed the world. The safety that was once felt is no longer taken for

The attack on the World Trade Center on 9/11 was the worst terrorist attack in U. S. history. Prior to 9/11, the U.S. had dealt with intermittent attacks on American soil with limited experience on emergency preparedness. Since 9/11, Homeland security was formed within the next year with a goal to safeguard the country against future terrorist attacks. The United States was faced with additional challenges other than just providing a response plan to terrorist attacks. There has been a debate if the United States is better prepared or is in the same position as before the 9/11 attack.

Tj Zimmerman said, “not much happiness came out of these attacks, but it did bring the nation together as a united country” (Zimmerman). Mr. Zimmerman thinks the world changed after 9/11. After 9/11, people in the US did not trust anyone who looked like they came from an Arab or Muslim background. People now became scared and afraid to fly. The whole screening process at the airports changed as well.

Most people around the world enjoy sporting events. These events are considered great entertainment options. So what does professional baseball, football, basketball, and most other companies around the United States have in common? If you guessed Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBA), Unions, arbitration and strikes/work stoppages you are absolutely correct. In the coming paragraphs, labor relations within the world of sports will be discussed from their unions to how collective bargaining agreements effect both the players and the owners. What is a Collective Bargaining Agreement?

The most obvious change sense 9/11 is U.S airport security and regulations. One of the biggest reasons why 9/11 was such a success for the Al-Qaeda group hijacking of the planes was 100% the airports unsuccsessful security. They were able to board the planes and go through metal detectors at the checkpoint. Thats why just a few short months after 9/11 occured the United States declared the TSA (Transportation Security Administration) is improving public safety while traveling through major transportation areas like airports. Many major airports have TSA, meanwhile some not so large airports have private agencies that are similar to TSA. Americans have had to undergo significant changes in their travel habits and this change seemed to be the

That day dramatically changed our view on foreign policy, and caused us to get involved in many ongoing wars with Middle Eastern countries. Additionally, the government changed its view on immigration. Due to the fear of another attack by foreign people, the “war on immigration” came about and caused a surge of American people to believe that immigrants should be deported. Lastly, security at airports, malls, and almost every public venue was entirely redesigned for our protection, but what the government believes is good for the people, isn’t always so great after all. Most people believe that America grew back stronger because of the attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001, but it has only brought us away from the importance of simplicity in our daily

Over the past 14 years we have grown as a nation, we have become stronger and more prepared since the dark day that was September 11th 2001. On that date was the most memorable and talked about events in modern day society. It’s a day that will go down in infamy and can never be absolved from our memories. The fact of the matter is that we were never truly prepared for something so heinous and evil, we never really expected anything like that could ever occur, were we ever wrong. We have been expecting the worst to happen ever since, security has been amped up and strengthened to make sure nothing like that can ever happen again.

This day impacted our nation and communities. 9/11 made us aware that anything bad could happen like this again, so we became a more secure nation. Especially at airports, we have scanners, police dogs, and extra security to check every passenger before boarding a plane.

The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 changed the skyscape of New York City. They also changed the political, economic, and cultural landscape of the United States. September 11th showed Americans that not even the strongest military country in the world can protect its citizens from terrorism. The changes in America since 9/11 have not only impacted Americans but have impacted citizens of other nations worldwide. This infamous day in history had the power to turn the world upside down in only a matter of hours.

Sixteen years ago, on September eleventh, the Twin Towers and the Pentagon was attacked by terrorists. This catastrophe baffled the nation as hundreds, soon to be millions, watched the structures go up in flames. These attacks immediately caused the nation to be consumed by mass hysteria and the constant fear of another attack. Today we are still affected by this and have improved our security measures in many ways to prevent it.

The safety of American citizens was extremely questioned in the years following 9/11. Most Americans believed that the country was completely safe and secure. However, 9/11 brought the reality that we are not completely free at all. In return, this created mass national confusion as to why someone didn't like the United States. Because of safety concerns, a more vulnerable society was fashioned. Citizens felt unprotected, scared, and bare of security. Thanks to departments and programs such as the TSA and the Department of Homeland Security, safety was reinstated. Another unfortunate social impact was the diagnosing of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Doctors found a sharp rise in the number of PTSD patients post-9/11 with loved ones, firefighters, bystanders, police officers, Trade Center Workers, and many others. Most patients were found to be involved with “Ground Zero”, or, the area in which the towers had collapsed. At least 10,000 people exposed to the terrorist attack have been found to have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, an extreme psychological damage to society. Roughly 4.3 billion dollars has been spent treating this disorder through the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act. “The terrorist attacks of 9/11 have brought a substantial and enduring burden of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder on those people who lost loved ones, as well as firefighters and recovery workers.” - Yuval Neria, Laura

The wealthy is showing off their power just like they did during the gladiator era. These athletes put their lives at risk to put on a good show for their sponsors. These athletes are put on display to show dominance by setting up events to prove who is the best team in the nation, such as the Super

The United States is a very sport minded nation and that when large sports events such as the Super Bowl, World Series, the Daytona 500, and any of the large golf and tennis events, many of the viewers will be swayed by what they see on the television.

A very popular and large sporting event that receives an extremely high volume of national media coverage is the Olympic Games. For a number of years, major stations like NBC has provided audiences with an around the clock coverage of the Games. Many other major medias similar to NBC have also done the same by devoted sections solely to the Olympic Games. The Olympics is a time where citizens come together to root for their home country, strengthening their sense of nationalism and pride and cheering for their home athletes to come out victoriously and the country as a powerhouse of the world. Organically, the games give off a sense of war like mentality because countries are competing against each other for the prize, the gold metal.

Evidently, sport events have been used by regimes to promote tourism and economic growth within the host region (Dobson, 2000). As previously mentioned, the desire to host such events is often associated with city regeneration and the perceived economic benefits (Getz, 2005; Hall, 2004; Misener & Mason, 2008 Misener & Mason, 2009). In the United States, the media often reports most international sport events as having significant positive impacts (Wilson, 2006). Nonetheless, the magnitude of the event’s impacts, either positive or negative, are often dependent on the event’s size (Taks, Kesenne, Chalip, Green, & Martyn, 2011). Large events are often thought to attract media attention, investment and subsequent economic growth; however, they are also associated with negative impacts such as the disruption of local businesses, crowding out effects and overspending. Solberg and Pruess (2007) noted that regional economic benefits are sometimes lost due to the large expenditures on event-related infrastructure. Negative impacts associated with small or medium-sized events may not be as apparent due to the relative low cost compared to large events (Mondello and Rishe, 2004). According to Gratton, Dobson and Shibli (2000) sport events can be categorized as either type A, B, C or D. Type A events such as the Olympic games are one-off, international mega events that are perceived to have a significant economic impact and attract mass media attention. For the purposes of this

Sports event management is the management of the participation of people to an organized time limited event. Events showcase to the public the image of a given sport and its teams hence it is crucial that a favorable image during major events be portrayed. The importance of event organizing is reflected in the move taken by many local authorities to appoint event officers in their respective departments (Watt, 2003). Even in small local authoritative organization at least one person will have event management as their job role, this is largely due to their relevance to sports event management (Watt, 2003). Sports events are not just organized for all the obvious reasons, they are sometimes held to feel the market, used by politicians for publicity, to set up market, create public awareness and so on. It has also been used in the UK to encourage urban development as money gets invested in the market where the event is held (Watt, 2003). A well thought sports event is an incentive to organizers, participants, and owners of teams. In addition to this the venue, funding, time table, selection of people, and evaluation of event also need to be decided upon (Watt, 2003).
