The effects on people after 9/11

September 11 gave the Americans a great shock. A lot of people lost their family members. Some lost their family, relatives in the twin towers, some were the passenger who were on board on the planes. Most of the people are pissed off about the attacks and some of them are still in fear thinking it might happen again. A huge number of people are still facing mental health effects still today. After a long research I can see that people are reexamining their priorities in life. They are trying very hard to forget about the past and move on with their everyday life by blessing the heroes who in September 11. But they hope nothing like that ever happens again in this world. the American Psychological Association finds that people living in New York who have experienced the 9/11 attacks are showing mental health problems more than others. More than 24 percent are still depressed from what happened in 9/11. More than three-quarters of Americans which is 77 percent said that they are trying take easy their life and move on with their life. But the Muslim families had faced some other kind of problem. They were investigated here and there. Especially the Arabs, they were always suspected by everybody in anything they did. The immigration was also at the back of them. People in America started to call the “ The Bad guys”. the local police were looking for clues and were under pressure to fight terrorism. The arrested any Arabs if they found any small clues. The Arab families were under stress. Arab-Americans reported an increasing sense of victimization, suspicion of government and law enforcement They concerned the government to protect their civil liberties. The media, TV interviews made The Arabs even more scared.
