9/11 Reflections
Please answer each question with a lot of detail and thought. Remember the importance of
the events that took place on Sept. 11, 2001.
1. Look at the numbers in the graphic. What
stories do these numbers tell? What stories
don’t these numbers tell?
2. How did the world change because of 9/11? Try to think of at least 2 ways, not including security measures. Explain
each.
a.
b.
3. After 9/11 many Muslims around the world suffered from Islamophobia (the fear and hatred of those who practice Islam).
There was, and still is, hate and bullying of Muslims in our country. How do you feel about the fairness of this? Explain.
4. We now have a generation of Americans who were not alive at the time of the attacks, and do not have first-hand
memories of the trauma. How do you think the impact of 9/11 varies with each generation? (Think of how it impacted your
parents and grandparents as compared to how it has impacted you.)
5. If you had to summarize the events of 9/11 and what they have meant to our country, what would you say?
