I chose to examine how 9/11 has changed the world as a whole. I decided to focus on 2 of the biggest changes it has brought to the world: increases in national and global security and advances in wartime weapons. Although 9/11 was a terrorist attack on the United States, the resulting war on terror has changed the world. 9/11 cannot be seen only as a national problem, because it has resulted in changes that are much bigger than our nation. Looking at 9/11 through a global perspective 13 years later, one can see what a hugely significant day it was in our world and how it continues to tint our outlook as well as how we go about solving global problems.
