Thomas Jefferson wrote that life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness were unalienable rights when he drafted the Declaration of Independence in June 1776. Those famous words led the thirteen colonies into the American Revolution and influenced the French and Haitian Revolutions in the years that followed.

In his “9/11 Address to the Nation” the 43rd President of the United States of America, George W. Bush assures that America will not be affected by the unruly and evil attacks carried out on September 11th, 2001.

Rhetorical Analysis of Word Wars A strategic narrative is a story that a nation must tell itself, and the world, to wage a war or to maintain a competitive advantage in the international system (Free Speech). The mass impact of technology has captivated this idea and has used it to express the freedom of speech in ways that has never been done before, but also "[pushes] these limits past common decency" (Wickman 27).

September 11, 2001, four aircrafts were hijacked and two of them were crashed into the twin towers. Throughout the chaos and burning fires from above, there were still many people who spent countless effort in making sure they got out of the towers. However, among these people were also those who saved others. The selflessness of the many people on 9/11 is one of the reasons for all of the survivors from this event.

Hysteria has been seen throughout history, but what dictates the outcome is how the community reacts. Hysteria can be defined as uncontrollable emotion among a group of people. Hysteria has been depicted throughout human history, and can be seen during the Cold War, 9/11, and terrorist threats.

The ratification of the 18th Amendment to the US Constitution introduced a new period in American history most commonly known as Prohibition.

Prove your faith to us one last time and you shall be handsomely rewarded.” Shea still remembered the exchange between the Gods and his people vividly.

Following Dr. Vesselin Popovski’s discussion on armed conflict and the United Nations, one thing that struck me was his question: Does religion cause wars? Do we fight in the name of God? The present atrocities being committed in the Middle East by the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant/Sham (ISIL/ISIS), also called Da’esh, are without doubt a ghastly violation of the most fundamental human rights. These Islamic extremists, purportedly acting in the name of religion, had been carrying out forced
