My Short Description
I believe these events have shaped the world around me because now there is so much worry and fear in most people's lives around the globe, that they could be in danger for a terrorist attack. You see and hear about these attacks on the news, and even in my everyday life I hear jokes and other things that have the subject of terrorism. It causes racial stereotypes and other biased opinions to emerge, especially on Middle Easterners. In conclusion, my life is largely affected by terrorism.
