Duke Podcast

This post is about the documentary that Duke University did entitled "Looking Back: 9/11 Across America." It was obviously about the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. It was full of interviews and opinions of different Americans that were effected and impacted by the attacks.

Other things that people talked about were the effects that the attacks had on the US socially. Some talked about how everyone became much more patriotic and it really brought us closer as a country. But other talked about the effects it had on people of Middle Eastern origins and Muslim backgrounds, and the discrimination that they underwent. It was a time of unity and division in this country.

One question that was asked was what was the impact and how were you effected by the events of 9/11? Most people stated that their reaction to the terrorist attacks was pure shock. It truly was an unbelievable event in our nations history. Other reactions were pertaining to the war that followed. The views about the war went both ways as expected and people are pretty divided on the issue even today.

September 11, 2001 was one of the saddest days in US history. Everyone can remember where they were and what they were doing when they heard what had happened. It impacted many people, and many people lost their live. It is our job to remember those who died and those who are fighting for those people right now.
