The Way We WereAs you listen to the news, radio, or read a newspaper, you notice one thing in common by and by the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center in new-made York City--unity. New Yorkers have known to be hard-ass and the rudest people youll ever meet. Self-indulged in their own world, they knocked people gloomy who stood between them and the next step before of them. We, as Americans, felt the effect of the destruction all over the nation, although it didnt gamble in our hometown. Most people either knew psyche, or knew someone who knew of someone that worked in the WTC building or were on those flights. Not until our condom was raped from us did we stop to unite, as a untaught, to help those in need. America is known as the fetch of opportunities. Therefore, we be taught that to obtain our ethnical goals, we must try to achieve them by almost any inwardness necessary. America was a very self-absorbed country.

We worry to keep money in our pockets at all times--meaning we always fate to have money. Everywhere you look now, there it is, the American flag our emblem of pride. One nation, under God with liberty and justice for all. We have choke united as a nation. The American Red Cross has increase millions of dollars with the help of normal, everyday citizens. Celebrities have joined together and held telethons to raise millions of dollars also.

From car washes to simple gift buckets in supermarkets, everywhere you go people are contributing. Before the 9/11 attacks, one would never have doubts about whos on the homogeneous flight as you, or feeling compelled to wash your hands after touching the mail. We took for granted what most people dont have--freedom. The freedom to walk down the street without the fear of seeing a terrorist act and living without the fears of being on a national heighted security alert for more terrorist attacks. Hell, were the land of the free, or perhaps we took for granted that we really were. Because of these attacks, many people are having second thought about doing many everyday things.
