¶ … terrorist attacks of September 11th 2001 as well as several previous acts of domestic and international terrorism sparked responses from nearly every civic agency in the United States. Each and every agency across the nation was called to action both immediately with temporary changes and in the long-term with fundamental legal and policy actions that are believed to aid in the future response to disasters of both the man-made kind and natural (Glendening, 2002, p. 21). Maryland is poised in a position where challenges are inherent due in part to its close proximity to Washington DC, with Maryland surrounding two thirds of Washington DC, and because of some of the fundamentally high risk target sites within it, such as a nuclear facility and its own World Trade Center in Baltimore, long and sparsely controlled coastlines, just to name a few (21). "Maryland is home to many important federal installations, including Camp David, the National Security Agency, Fort Meade, Aberdeen Proving Grounds, the Patuxent River Naval Air Station, the United States Naval Academy, and several federal laboratory research institutions, such as the National Institutes of Health" (22). Maryland also experienced a tragic series of events in the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 tragedies that called the state to action, such as the actions of the DC sniper attacks (2002) as well as the Anthrax mail attack (2001) both of which touched and shaped Maryland giving the state cause to put into effect newly gained skills and policies that are intended to respond to such situations. According to the then governor Parris Glendening...
The former governor calls the post September 11th governance an attempt to balance and achieve a new state of normalcy. Some of the things he noted in 2002 include security reviews of several possible targets, the implementation of change in policy and planning in those locations as well as others that are seen from a local and national perspective as possible targets or places of possible staging. The challenges of creating a new state of normal that involves challenging a culture that has and likely will always be relatively open and free with regard to travel, association, speech and action are huge as we have seen over the years as more and more of the immediate and even long-term policy and security measures have been challenged or even abandoned as both apathy as well as functionality of such measures began to redirect the actions of individuals and groups.
September 11 and the New Emerging International Order America and Europe in the New World Order This is a paper that outlines the international order in American and Europe in the formation of New World Order. It has 11 sources. As the War in Iraq takes place, and people hope for a quick end to all conflicts around them there is deep thought continuously being given to the emergence of a new
September 11, 2001, terrorists staged an attack on the United States. There were several areas affected, but the Twin Towers in New York City were - and still remain - the most notable. They are what everyone thinks of, when 9/11 is mentioned. On that day many lives were lost. Among them were 37 officers and one K-9 officer from the Port Authority Police Department (PAPD) (Damico & Quay,
September 11th shocked and enraged many people, in the United States and around the world. With that shock came a cry for change, a tightening of the open and free society in which we live. September 11th was an unprecedented occurrence, leaving many people personally affected and still others traumatized by the severity of the events and the seemingly senseless act against civilians. "What happened on September 11 is
September 11, 2001 have had a significant impact on the way people view security. A recent study has indicated that there are two major tendencies that people experience after a major traumatic event like the terrorist attacks on the Twin Towers and Pentagon: "a long-term lasting search for security…and a medium-term risk avoiding behavior in the loss domain." (Sacco, 2003, p. 1113) In other words, terrorist attacks can alter
Of course, not all of the counterterrorism methods will work, and there will certainly be changes, alterations, and even the disbanding of some of the things the government has done to help prevent further attacks. Clearly, the nation has learned quite a bit from the terrorist attacks of 9/11. The people learned the country was vulnerable to attacks never before imagined. They learned that thousands of people could die in
9-11 and Mass Commumications Three years after the tragedy of 9-11, the city of new York has cleared the rubbish our of the footprint of the two towers, but they are still a long way from clearing the wreckage out of their collective, and individual hearts. Never before has the nation been struck in an act of war as was seen on national television on 9-11-2001. Even when the Japanese planes
