9/11

People think of the United States of America as so united and so put-together. Security levels high and it seems like nothing could break us. But, its incredible that one incident can just alter the perspectives of so many different people. The horrible incident that occurred on September 11, 2001 is something that still can make most people so emotional. This includes myself very much. But, many people don't see that after this date, America became even more united. And, not just after that incident, but after any major crisis. People became more giving and helped each other out. It really did bring us closer, but on the other hand, it also made people look at places and others differently. Most instances, in a more judgemental way. When people step into an airport, they may look around or look at certain races, religions, or any placement in a different way. They may not want to be near them or feel uncomfortable. And, sometimes people can't control this. It's just something caused by their knowledge and instincts based on an event or situation. So, something such as 9/11 can really change people's perspectives on other people. Sometimes its a shame.
