Strand 5 Nature of Society and Culture

The terrorist attack on September 112001 is another event that helped determine the thinking of the 11 decades I have always thought that we were safe in the United States and there could not be a way for any terrorist to attack us However the tragic events on September 112001 proved me and a lot of other Americans wrong
