America's Post 9/11 Self-Image, 2005.

Abstract
This paper explains that, as much as America would like to believe that its own self-image has not changed as a result of the events of 9/11, Americans, who saw themselves as the supreme force in the world, are now forced to acknowledge that their might has significant limitations. The author points out that, in the aftermath of the destruction, the United States came to realize that it had prepared for the wrong war by having anticipated another conventional war in which enemies with uniforms from specific nations would square off against U.S. military personnel in armed combat. The paper contends that the manner in which the US attempted to garner support for the war in Iraq is evidence that America's vision of itself has been modified as suggested by President Bush's frequent inclusive of other countries and the U.N. and his moderate tones with international diplomacy.

From the Paper
"Prior to the bloody and vicious attacks against the United States on that bright September morning in 2001 the American self-view of superiority, might and some may even say invincibility, were as solid and as unshakable as the World Trade Towers themselves. Americans saw their own might in the context of previous victories during the prior century and in the light that that was naturally cast by the sole super power in the world. Hence, the Americans viewed their own status as nearly incapable of being challenged let alone defeated. Symptomatic of this self-aggrandizing view was the almost complete ignorance and utter lack of understanding regarding the hate that was directed at the West and in particular directed at the United States. Indeed, the sleeping giant seemed wholly unaware of the growing anger and resentment toward the country. However, with the destruction of the Twin Towers and the resulting actions that were taken after the terrible events of that day, it has been incumbent on the American people to compulsorily revaluate themselves and to make serious changes in the way the nation viewed its own levels of strength that had clearly been at least partially complicit in facilitating the terrorist attacks against the U.S."

Abstract
This macroeconomic study focuses on the United States and China as the dominant superpowers that have arisen since the attacks of 9/11. In this paper, the writer shows that growing dysfunction between the United States and France is based upon economic and militaristic issues and in a secondary manner on politics. The writer discusses that in China a concept of hegemony is being created through a domination of South Korea and other Asian nations that serve the greater economic power of this country.
From the Paper
"The effects of trade relations in China and America have increased after the subjugation of Saddam Hussein's regime in the now conquered Iraq. Iraq is discussed in being one of the major defeated countries the United States has dominated, as a result of the attacks of 9/11 and current foreign policy. By acknowledging the dominance of the American military forces, the natural resources of Iraq have now become part of the international economic power that America now wields across the Middle East and Europe. By dominating oil in this region, America has become a sole world power with China as its only peer."

From the Paper
"One of the critical investments a small business can make to mitigate loss and risk is hiring a CPA and putting that CPA on the 'management team.' As Wells notes in his groundbreaking research, "Denise, a bookkeeper for a small trucking firm in Birmingham, Alabama, wishes she had never heard of Ralph Summerford, CPA. Because of his thoroughness, Denise is facing several years in prison for embezzling $550,000 from her employer. At least she will look good standing before the sentencing judge: Denise spent a great deal of her illegal loot on head-to-toe cosmetic surgery. She blew the rest on a shiny new Lexus, luxury vacations, clothing and jewelry. And, of course, Denise had to have a big house to store all of her finery." (Wells, 2003)"

Post 9/11: Motivations and Responses, 2004.
This paper discusses the reasons why Americans are so hated in other parts of the world and American?s reaction to 9/11.

Abstract
This paper asserts that, if Americans are to avoid being made the villains in the Middle East, changes must be made in its foreign policy, such as insisting that Israel and Palestine make peace and hiring skilled American ad agencies to foster good will towards the U.S.A. The author contends that Washington's present homeland security policy, shaped by panic-driven regulations on ill-crafted mandates just because some of the hijackers had entered the country on student visas to attend U.S. flight schools, is harming America's broader foreign policy. This paper contends that Americans' reactions to 9/11 were to donate too much blood, for businesses to get rid of people they would like to get rid of anyway, and to become nervous if someone from a Middle Eastern country was their neighbor sitting next to their airplane seat.
From the Paper
"Since September 11, America has been on a war footing, with armed soldiers standing guard at our nation's airports, enhanced security at nuclear power plants and other vulnerable locations, and military jets flying combat air patrols in order to intercept and shoot down hijacked commercial aircraft. The legal climate has also been affected by the events of September 11. The President has announced that suspected terrorists who are not U.S. citizens may be tried in special military tribunals lacking many of the due process standards of American criminal courts. For example, Ejaz Haider -- the editor of one of Pakistan's most influential newspapers and a guest scholar at the Brookings Institution -- was stopped outside the Washington think tank by two armed, plainclothes officers from the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service."

Abstract
This paper looks at the development of the aviation industry from Leonardo da Vinci's sketches of fantastic flying machines to the Concorde flights. It looks at how the September 11, 2001, attack seriously impacted the airline and the tourism industries when the airplane was used as a tool to inflict damage and destruction on civilization intentionally and with great malice. It describes the emotional and financial effects on the aviation industry from production to security.
From the Paper
"Reduced passenger volume on planes has seriously affected all dependent industries like the hospitality industry and the aircraft manufacture and servicing industry. Many small towns in America were seriously impacted when their main industry, aircraft manufacturing had to lay off workers. This was observed in Wichita, Kansas where bulk of aircraft industries was located. The town lost 14,000 jobs as a result of September 11 and the town lost billions in revenue and affected the city and town governments in the region. Cessna, an airplane manufacturer in Kansas was the last to announce layoffs and tried to hold on to its employees for as long as possible. Further cutting down of aircraft demand eventually forced the company to layoff workers."

Abstract
This paper discusses the sensitive issue of racial profiling and the sensitive balance that the law authorities need to keep while still trying to maintain a sense of domestic security. It looks at how this problem is especially affecting the American Muslim community in the U.S.
From the Paper
"Racial profiling has become a long and winded debate in our society. Its history is extensive and varied; affecting different groups during different periods of time. However, regardless of the ethnic group targeted, racial profiling has the effect of heightening tensions between law enforcement agents and the community. A profile is ?a coherent set of facts?; it often includes known conditions and behavior that may indicate a particular individual might be engaged in criminal activity. This profile is completely based on statistics and data that law enforcement officials obtain."

Abstract
To determine how and to what extent the controlling of employment legislation has changed following the terrorist attacks of 9/11, this paper provides a review of the relevant literature, followed by a summary of the research and a presentation of the findings in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"Before World War II, American workers began organizing to achieve a more equitable share of the benefits of their labor, and the changes in the social contract following World War II resulting from a series of downsizing, mergers and acquisitions have fundamentally changed the relationship between the American worker and employers. No longer was there a patriarchal system in place that guaranteed life-long employment in exchange for hard work and loyalty; instead, the competition for good jobs - and jobs at all - became increasingly fierce. However, during this period of history illegal immigrant workers were not aggressively prosecuted because they were merely working at jobs that "no American would want." After the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 though, many unemployed U.S. citizens might scoff at that argument. While many components of the immigration laws that control employment in the U.S. remain unchanged following September 11, there have been some profound changes that have nevertheless affected the ability of immigrants - legal or illegal - to find gainful employment in the United States.

Abstract
The writer of this paper examines the long history of America's foreign policy, which initially began in dealings with the British when America was a colony. It was then the contention that Americans should not have to bear the burden of England's on-going wars with France through the heavy taxation being levied by the British. This paper lists the various wars up until WWI, which America reluctantly entered, preferring to isolate itself from the constant turmoil in the world. However, as Germany and Italy pursued their policies of expansion, the U.S. supplied arms and munitions to the countries that would eventually become its allies. This paper also details the reasons for America's involvement in the Korean war. The writer of this well-researched paper delves into the massive programs of American foreign aid which have become an integral part of U.S. foreign policy. The writer of this paper attempts to uncover the real reasons behind the current administration's active involvement in the Middle East, primarily in Iraq. This paper also examines the popular sentiment that contends America goes to war in order to relieve internal pressures within its own administration.
From the Paper
"From this point, America managed to stay out of conflict until WWI which it entered reluctantly. After WWI, America, again, tried to isolate itself from the constant turmoil in the world. However, as Germany and Italy pursued their policies of expansion, the US was supplying arms and munitions to the countries who would eventually become its allies. It could be supposed that the policy of supplying arms was seen by Germany and Italy as a measure of engagement. At any rate, once Pearl Harbor was bombed, there no was no longer a question as to whether or not the US would go to war. It isn't clearly obvious in the reading what the theories are for our involvement in Korea other than concern with the spread of Communism. This fear or propaganda or motivation, whatever one wishes to label the mindset, would control American foreign policy for the next 50 years. Communism took over from Nazi Germany as the "Great Satan" and the new threat to democracy."

Abstract
This paper examines not only the data protection instruments but also encompasses various breaches, recognitions and provisions for the interests of national security that over-weighs/surpass dangers to individual privacy in information technology. Chapter 2 deals with the erosion of privacy rights due to Sept 11, and amounts to probably the most significant issue in recent history, as information privacy rights have been recognized for controlling the dissemination and use of data. Chapter 3 has a comprehensive analysis that everyone has the right to be protected under the law and no one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home, or correspondence. Chapter 4 studies means of private communications without the consent of the sender or receiver and deals with breaches of privacy. Chapter 5 reviews data protection instruments in EU and non-EU horizons. Chapter 6 elucidates shocking revelations against terror and a flurry of virus activity resulting in personal data of Arab males being made available to the police to protect data against the war on terrorism. Chapter 7 states the balance between privacy and security risks and suggests that privacy-invasive measures adopted have not been as effective in enhancing security as originally intended. Hence they should not be construed as rivals but rather two sides of the same coin. In Chapter 8, systematic surveillance of the citizen in both the physical and virtual worlds after September 11, 2001 is discussed in detail. In Chapter 9, the war on terrorism by the United States and its allies as well as the discussion and measures about the ways in which the world has changed is dealt with. Chapter 10 details the cooperation and mutual assistance in EU-US law enforcement, namely human trafficking, immigration, and refugees, visas, biometrics and passports, etc.
Chapter 11 addresses security concerns raised in the aftermath of the September 11 attack and interrelated issues involving the movement of people, security at the border and in the skies and various security models/gadgets as well. Chapter 12 gives details of how and why a fund was created for the compensation of victims of Sept 11. Chapter 13, last but not least, wraps up various issues discussed earlier and answers unanswered questions from the introduction.

From the Paper
"Privacy rights have always been something of a stepchild in the family of constitutional rights. Although interpreted by the courts to be one of our fundamental rights, it is not mentioned by name anywhere in the Constitution or its amendments because it is a passive right. Felt only when absent, it tends to get less attention. This is why it became the first constitutional right in the post-September 11 execution line. Whatever the case, we should all be concerned that what has happened to privacy can also happen to other rights. There is always tension in the system, but it was designed that way, and generally we do a good job of balancing the desires of the state with the liberties of the people."

Introduction
A Balanced Approach to Policy on Terrorism?
The Effect on the United States of Current Terrorism Trends
Primary Issues in a Broad Front to Prevent and Counter Terrorism.
Summary
From the Paper
"The proliferation of terrorism in poor countries, and its effects on the U.S., is valid. For example, many of the Middle Eastern nations are extremely poor, and the motivation of the people is often religious as opposed to financial (sacred versus secular, if you will). In a twisted interpretation of ancient religions such as Islam, there are those who feel that they are not only doing the will of God by conducting acts of terror on "infidels" such as the citizens of the U.S.,but also that they will be providing for their families because of the huge financial rewards thatwealthy terrorist leaders, such as Osama Bin Laden, promise to the benefactors of a terrorist if or she gives their life to kill Americans, such as in the 9/11 attacks."

Security Costs For Airlines Post 9/11, 2002.
An analysis of the effects of extra security expenditure and security measures on airlines.

Abstract
This paper discusses the rising cost of security and how it is hurting airline business in the United States. The writer describes how the price tag attached with extra security measures is bringing down major airlines that were already facing a dearth of business passengers and rapid cuts in the number of flights after September 11.
From the Paper
"United States government is not only anticipating more terrorist attacks in future, it is also asking its people to pay a huge price for this fear. While the government rightly wants to beef up security in order to protect its people from terrorist activities in future, the people are unfortunately being made to pay for these governmental plans. The price tag attached with extra security measures is bringing down major airlines that were already facing a dearth of business passengers and rapid cuts in number of flights after September 11. It is important to understand that airlines industry along with the rest of travel industry has suffered immensely after September 11 but the reason why it has failed to make a decent recovery is because government is consistently levying security surcharges, which most United States airlines cannot afford.

Abstract
The paper describes the measures that have been taken in order to secure the lives of Americans in the new reality of world terrorism.

From the Paper
"On September 11, 2001, America was changed forever. From out of the ruins of the World Trade Center, and over the unmarked graves of nearly three thousand innocent people, a new world took shape. It was a world in which the citizens of the United Sates found themselves suddenly vulnerable to the murderous plots of a handful of fanatics. A trip to the mall, a drive over a bridge, a meeting at the office: an everyday event could spell disaster. Americans were discovering for the first time what so many around the globe had known for years, that the scenes of daily life could become the settings of terror. "

Carl Jung and 9/11, 2006.
An explanation of 9/11 in the eyes of Carl Jung.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article the author looks at the events of 9/11 and its aftermath through the eyes of Carl Jung. He examines how Jung would have reacted to the events of 9/11. He points out that Jung believed very strongly in coincidence. But, would he have thought that 9/11 was a coincidence, something hidden in the collective unconsciousness. Maybe the unconscious beliefs of government officials, the CIA and FBI who knew that there was something going to happen, but didn't know when or where or even how. The paper goes on to describe how Jung would have categorized the different reactions of the American people after 9/11 in his terms of introvert and extrovert personalities. The author examines the different archetypes that Jung proposed in terms of 9/11. The paper concludes with the statement that even Jung would have not have been able to explain the "why?" of the terrorist attacks and what they hoped to accomplish.
From the Paper
"Jung dreamt a great deal about the dead, the land of the dead, and the rising of the dead. These represented the unconscious itself -- not the "little" personal unconscious that Freud made such a big deal out of, but a new collective unconscious of humanity itself. It would be interesting to assume that the thousands who died at the World Trade Center, the Pennsylvania field and at the Pentagon were somehow part of a Jungian dream. But, while we might think of Freud and Jung as seeing psychosis in dreams, Jung was more realistic. "Jung felt that, if you want to understand the jungle, you can't be content just to sail back and forth near the shore. You've got to get into it, no matter how strange and frightening it might seem" (Boeree 1)."
