President McKinley survived the initial shooting after being shot twice, one in his collarbone that wasn’t life threatening and the other that was lost in his abdomen. A gynecologist was the only doctor at that time so he did the best he could and patched the President up. After being moved to a private residence the President was said to make a full recovery but just days later he died from gangrene and blood poising. The shooter Leon Czolgosz was sentenced to death by the electric chair a week later after the President’s death. These radical ideals prove to be no use or have a purpose so why do people continue to commit such violent crimes of terrorism that in the end only resolves in blood shed and lost. Getting a point across, debating and standing up for what you believe is one thing but trying to accomplish the task with violence instead of a more diplomatic way is just down right cowardice; it takes a stronger man/woman to make a change with words than with a …show more content…

“9/11 changed America fundamentally, far more so than outsiders realized at the time. For Americans it genuinely was a new Pearl Harbour, an attack on the homeland that made them feel vulnerable for the first time in 60 years,” (Powell, 2003). The terrorist attacks of 9/11 affect America today because they instigated the creation of the Department of Homeland Security and the “War on Terror,” and led to an increase in anti-Muslim hate crimes. “Often referred to as 9/11, the attacks resulted in extensive death and destruction, triggering major U.S. initiatives to combat terrorism and defining the presidency of George W. Bush,” (9/11, 2010). The most noticeable of these effects was the creation of the Department of Homeland Security.

As time elapsed from September 11, 2001, the public began to break ideas about who was to blame for the attacks on September 11. A vast majority believed that the 9/11 attacks were solely to blame from the Islamist radical group, Al-Qaeda, a terrorist regime that sought to rebel against western civilization norms and enact their hate among the United States. The other idea, which is highly noted as a conspiracy theory, was that government knew the terrorist attacks were likely to happen and the only reason the government took a back seat was to conduct a reason to mobilize troops into the war-riddled Middle East. Whether the public believed either or, a paranoia was created, later to be recognized as Post-9/11 Paranoia.

Victimization After 9/11 Unexpected and eye opener was the tragic event of the terrorist attack of September 11, 2001.

Bronchial asthma Asthma is one of the most common chronic medical diseases of childhood universally, affecting over 25 million people in the United States and 300 million people worldwide, with expectancy for that number to rise [1].
