¶ … 9/11 survivors search for normalcy" by Anemona Hartocollis, survivors of the terrorist attacks of 9/11 still fight psychological and physical demons, long after the rest of the world has attained a state of 'normalcy' and the attacks are no longer a foreground concern in the media. Lauren Manning, a former employee of Cantor Fitzgerald, can no longer lead a normal life and counts herself lucky to be alive after surviving having nearly 80% of her body severely burned. Although the symbolic language of mourning in our society tends to focus upon the fallen, or those who lost love ones, Hartocollis implies that this tends to ignore people whose lives were irrevocably changed through injury.
The focus of the article is to understand the perspective of these injured victims, according to the sociological principle of verstehen (putting one's self in another's shoes in a spirit of understanding and community) and understanding the symbolic...
For some survivors, the aftereffects of the attacks were so extreme, medically speaking, they felt unable to continue with their old lives. Elaine Duch can no longer work because of the burns she suffered and has extreme anxiety as a result of her injuries. She cut herself off from her former friends and says that now her current friends only know her as 'an injured person' because the pain of being expected to seem the same as before was too great.
Although these badly burned victims received medical assistance, they seem unable to move on from their experiences, partially because of the fact that their injuries are lingering reminders of the trauma and because society seems to offer them no way to mourn and put the experience behind them. The symbolic functions of laying the dead to rest, such as the creation of the 9/11 memorial and reading the…
9/11 Impacts Events of 911 were a shock not only for the people of America but for the entire world. These events brought drastic changes in the world economy along with the political and sociological changes. Different people have different views about the impacts of 9/11 and the way it has changed the world. In order to do this paper, I interviewed my uncle and a neighbor friend. My uncle who
According to Harlan (2004), "Sample retention is problematic not only because of these individuals' innocence, but also because of the resulting availability of sensitive genetic information and the lack of legislative and jurisprudential protections guarding release of the information" (p. 179). This point is also made by Beecher-Monas and Garcia-Rill (2006), who caution that modern DNA identification techniques can be used to extrapolate far more than just an individual's
9/11 Commission 9/11 brought considerable changes to the United States in terms of policy building and immigration laws. It was an even that should have never taken place. During the Clinton administration, U.S. Embassies were bombed by Al Qaeda to which President Clinton responded by cruise missile attacks and the CIA hired assassins to kill Bin Laden. Clinton also pressurized the Taliban to expel Bin Laden but it was of no
9/11 Commission Report -- Prisoner's Dilemma 'Cooperation is usually analyzed in game theory by means of a non-zero-sum game called the 'Prisoner's Dilemma'" (Anonymous). Basically this game has two players who have two options. They can either choose to "defect" or "cooperate." An example is seen where the police takes two suspects into custody for interrogation. If suspect A chooses to defect i.e. he confesses his involvement in the crime and
Even if we do not trust a specific President, there is no denying that they know things we do not. It must be necessary for them, from time to time, to persuade the nation. The use of a persuasive rhetoric in this instance may be justified. And especially when a President uses rhetoric to invite a response from the audience and critics, as Zarefsky notes, I can appreciate the
9//11 Commission: Uni, Bi, And Multipower Systems of Power Unipolar balances of power are international political systems where one major power dominates the globe. They are traditionally seen as more stable than are bipolar systems, where two powerful superpowers are locked in conflict and use weaker states in their mutual power plays. Multipolar systems, as existed in Europe the period before World War I, are seen as the most volatile and
