How Technology Has, and Has Not, Changed Since 9-11

                      

   I read this article, “How Technology has, and has not, changed since September 9, 2011”. I On September 11, 2001 the U.S faced a terrorist attacks. Terrorists hijacked airplanes, and turned the planes in another direction in order to put down the world Trade Center. A few years later the Federal and State governments have made tremendous efforts to improve the security to prevent future terrorist attacks.  I have one strong point that can support my argument. First, the U.S has done arduous work to enhance security within the country. For example, the U.S has tried to ensure security at airports. According to Hillary Clinton the U.S has a biometric entry system to have better control over the number of people who are entering the country. The U.S also has a system using digital fingerprints and photographic images that can recognize people entering the country.  The secretary of State also suggests the U.S might need one for people who settle here. However, according to a new report the U.S is not yet protected against a major attack. Moreover, some of the proposals submitted by the commission in charge of investigating the catastrophe in order to prevent possible future attacks have been completely ignored. One of the most important needs, such as, radio frequencies to provide a better communication in a crisis, remains unfulfilled.

I believe technology has changed in the U.S right after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. It is true the security has been improved within airports. I’m an international student who travels back home every summer. For example, I usually go through different checkpoints when I re-enter the country, such as to give fingerprints, a photographic image, and a final luggage check.  I have seen officers around questioning people who look suspicious. However, I believe the U.S is not completely secure to prevent attacks in public places, such as, markets, malls, stadiums, churches, hospitals and more. I also believe that pilots should be trained to prevent someone without a gun from taking over the control of the airplane.

Success

                                                                         Success

Success is one of the most important things in a man’s life. If we take a look at the concept of success, we can say it’s crucial to us especially if we want to reach our goals. I have one strong point that can support my argument. Once we hope to get  a degree, we will have to work hard in order to meet that goal.  We can see success as a key to happiness, because when our goal becomes successful it would definitely change our life. Our life will  be changed because we got what we hoped to get. However, success is not always a good thing, because it could have a negative impact on our life. Success is not all we want. For example, we can have a good job with a  huge income. On the other hand, you don ‘t have time for your family. So it is going to be sad when our spouse decides to divorce from us. Further we are successful and don’t have good health.  In short success is not all we need in our life.

Thesis Presentation

A thesis presentation is one of the arduous thing to do in order to earn a degree. You will be in a room with people you don't even know. You feel nervous and don't look prepared. To present your work the school often selects a group of teachers to evaluate it. Sometimes there will a teacher you don't like in that group. You feel that you are not  secure because they will ask you  a lot of questions.
 However, when yo have to present a thesis one the things you need to take into account is to know your work. Be confident of yourself. You need to feel you are the one who knows about the work, and you are going to share what you have learned with them. Stay calm and listen carefuly when they ask questions about your work. You should take your time and be specific about your answer.
