Non Americans, How Was 9/11 Displayed in Your Country?

Non Americans, How Was 9/11 Displayed in Your Country?

Americans watched in horror as the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, left nearly 3,000 people dead in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Nearly 20 years later, they watched in sorrow as the nation’s military mission in Afghanistan – which began less than a month after 9/11 – came to a bloody and chaotic conclusion.

A devastating emotional toll, a lasting historical legacy
Shock, sadness, fear, anger: The 9/11 attacks inflicted a devastating emotional toll on Americans. But as horrible as the events of that day were, a 63% majority of Americans said they couldn’t stop watching news coverage of the attacks.

Chart shows days after 9/11, nearly all Americans said they felt sad; most felt depressed
Our first survey following the attacks went into the field just days after 9/11, from Sept. 13-17, 2001. A sizable majority of adults (71%) said they felt depressed, nearly half (49%) had difficulty concentrating and a third said they had trouble sleeping.

It was an era in which television was still the public’s dominant news source – 90% said they got most of their news about the attacks from television, compared with just 5% who got news online – and the televised images of death and destruction had a powerful impact. Around nine-in-ten Americans (92%) agreed with the statement, “I feel sad when watching TV coverage of the terrorist attacks.” A sizable majority (77%) also found it frightening to watch – but most did so anyway.

Americans were enraged by the attacks, too. Three weeks after 9/11, even as the psychological stress began to ease somewhat, 87% said they felt angry about the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon.

Fear was widespread, not just in the days immediately after the attacks, but throughout the fall of 2001. Most Americans said they were very (28%) or somewhat (45%) worried about another attack. When asked a year later to describe how their lives changed in a major way, about half of adults said they felt more afraid, more careful, more distrustful or more vulnerable as a result of the attacks.

Even after the immediate shock of 9/11 had subsided, concerns over terrorism remained at higher levels in major cities – especially New York and Washington – than in small towns and rural areas. The personal impact of the attacks also was felt more keenly in the cities directly targeted: Nearly a year after 9/11, about six-in-ten adults in the New York (61%) and Washington (63%) areas said the attacks had changed their lives at least a little, compared with 49% nationwide. This sentiment was shared by residents of other large cities. A quarter of people who lived in large cities nationwide said their lives had changed in a major way – twice the rate found in small towns and rural areas.

The impacts of the Sept. 11 attacks were deeply felt and slow to dissipate. By the following August, half of U.S. adults said the country “had changed in a major way” – a number that actually increased, to 61%, 10 years after the event.

A year after the attacks, in an open-ended question, most Americans – 80% – cited 9/11 as the most important event that had occurred in the country during the previous year. Strikingly, a larger share also volunteered it as the most important thing that happened to them personally in the prior year (38%) than mentioned other typical life events, such as births or deaths. Again, the personal impact was much greater in New York and Washington, where 51% and 44%, respectively, pointed to the attacks as the most significant personal event over the prior year.

15 years after 9/11 – the attacks continued to be seen as one of the public’s top historical events
Just as memories of 9/11 are firmly embedded in the minds of most Americans old enough to recall the attacks, their historical importance far surpasses other events in people’s lifetimes. In a survey conducted by Pew Research Center in association with A+E Networks’ HISTORY in 2016 – 15 years after 9/11 – 76% of adults named the Sept. 11 attacks as one of the 10 historical events of their lifetime that had the greatest impact on the country. The election of Barack Obama as the first Black president was a distant second, at 40%.

The importance of 9/11 transcended age, gender, geographic and even political differences. The 2016 study noted that while partisans agreed on little else that election cycle, more than seven-in-ten Republicans and Democrats named the attacks as one of their top 10 historic events.

25 Cheating Wife Signs You Are Not Aware Of (Yet)

25 Cheating Wife Signs You Are Not Aware Of (Yet)

I am sorry you felt the need to have to listen to this podcast. Know that you are far from alone and dont deserve to have to go through the pain of what you are dealing with. You are so not alone and you should check out the other stories on this podcast to see what others are dealing with and may give you some great advice. just because I use a robot voice due to speech issues please know that I truly do care and that You are loved.OMG! 25 Cheating Wife Signs You Are Not Aware Of (Yet)Everyone knows that divorce rates are high, but no one thinks they are on the heartbreaking end of those statistics. We don’t enter a marriage thinking it will end in infidelity.To some, these situations come out of nowhere. To others, the signs have been slowly creeping up on them. If you suspect your partner is cheating but aren’t sure if it’s all in your head, use our advice to brush off any doubt!We will help you vocalize what cheating means to you, why it could be happening, and the signs your wife could be showing you that you might not be aware of.And if it turns out the worst is true, we will guide you to the road of recovery.What Is Considered Cheating?You might think the answer to this question is obvious, but everyone views the world differently. To some, watching porn is a form of cheating. To others, flirting with a friend is crossing a line even though it's clear nothing is going on. Many people think that a New Year’s Kiss shared amongst friends is a platonic form of celebration, but to others, it’s a massive betrayal of trust.You cannot assume that you and your partner are on the same page when it comes to infidelity. Instead, you must communicate to each other where your boundaries are. Opening up this conversation and asking how your partner feels will show you how they see the world and how they experience love. Your partner might explain that physical contact, like holding hands, kisses on the cheek, and hugs, are a normal part of friendship, but buying gifts and sharing cuddles on the coach are more intimate. With this insight, those questionable moments between your partner and her friend will seem more innocent. Why Do Wives Cheat?There can be a wide range of reasons why a spouse might cheat, but they all tend to come down to 4 things. A lack of self-esteem, a lack of love, the feeling of neglect, and unfulfilled sexual desire all of which can turn a marriage toxic if not addressed immediately.Self-EsteemSelf-esteem is how you value yourself. People who have low self-esteem tend to look for validation around their lives to boost their self-esteem, or they look for negative things in their life to prove the negativity. Sometimes a person’s low self-esteem will cause them to create a social bubble around themselves, rejecting everyone around them. This makes their partner lonely, and like a self-fulfilling prophecy, the thought that you are not good enough for your wife seems to come true as she finds another person to share her life with.Another way in which self-esteem can affect a marriage is when a partner loses confidence in themselves and searches for someone to pull them up. If they cannot find that person in their partner, they will look elsewhere for validation. In these scenarios, you may tell your wife that they are beautiful, intelligent, and accomplished, but these words do not reach her. This is a road they need to walk down themselves, but that doesn’t mean you cannot be by her side. Ask her what she wants, and find the solution together. If she takes the road alone, she may discover validation in someone else.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-cheating-stories-2025--5953081/support.
