Assignment 12: Part 1 & 2

Part 1:

According to Christina Asquith's article, "Conspiracies Continue to Abound Surrounding 9/11", a group of professors believe that the attacks on 9/11 were an inside job and that we (Americans) were lied to by our government.

In Bruce Bower's article, "Tracing the Inner World of Suspicion", a report by psychologist Viren Swami and colleagues offer the preliminary psychological profile of people who believe in 9/11 conspiracies.

3. 9/11: Ten years later

4. A nation challenged: The impact of foreign threat on America's tolerance for diversity

• Perspective - Cultural

5. The war on terror 10 years on

•  Perspective - For/against counterparts
• Helps - Gives great debates relating to how our government reacted tot he attacks and how they could've done things better to have prevented them. Ties into my paper because it shows both sides of what was done and what should've been done before and after the attacks.
