Download or read book September 11 written by Kent Roach and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2003-04-23 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In September 11 Kent Roach provides a critical examination of the consequences of September 11 for law, democracy, sovereignty, and security. He assesses a broad range of anti-terrorism measures including the Anti-terrorism Act, the smart border agreement, Canadian participation in the war in Afghanistan, changes to refugee policy, the 2001 Security Budget, and the proposed Public Safety Act. Roach evaluates both the opposition of many civil society groups to the Anti-terrorism Act and the government's defence of the law as necessary to prevent terrorism and consistent with human rights. He warns that exceptions to legal principles made to fight terrorism may spread to attempts to combat other crimes and suggests that Canadian law may not provide adequate protection against invasions of privacy or discriminatory profiling of people as potential terrorists. With reference to controversial comments about September 11 made by Prime Minister Chretien and others and the debate about "anti-Americanism," Roach examines whether September 11 has chilled Canadian democracy. He also examines the challenge September 11 presents for Canadian sovereignty on key components of foreign, military, and immigration policy and the possibility that Canadian Forces participated in violations of international law in Afghanistan. With specific reference to the threat of nuclear and biological terrorism and aviation safety, Roach argues that more emphasis on administrative and technological measures and less emphasis on criminal sanctions and military force may better protect Canadians from both terrorism and other threats to their security.

Download or read book 9 11 The World Speaks written by Tribute WTC Visitor Center and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2011-08-16 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost two million people from across the United States and around the world have come through the museum galleries of the Tribute WTC Visitor Center since it opened in September 2006 right across the street from the World Trade Center site. Many of these visitors have written their poignant reflections about the impact of September 11th on visitor cards that are collected in the Center’s final gallery. To date, the Center has collected 200,000 cards written in 48 languages by people from 120 countries. For the first time ever, this book brings together a choice selection of these cards, many of which talk about the inspiration people find in the outpouring of humanity in response to September 11th. In seeing the selflessness of first responders and ordinary citizens who rushed to help strangers and friends on that day, and in the many months of recovery that followed, adults and young people write that they have been inspired to help others in their communities and around the world. Moving us toward the future with empathy and hope, 9/11: The World Speaks is a remarkable collection of cards that include elaborate drawings, stories of personal experiences on September 11th, notes written by family members of victims, and statements by people of all cultural backgrounds decrying the use of violence. The book also features a preface from Tom Brokaw.

Book A Study of the Impact of 9 11 on Content in Travel Magazines

Download or read book A Study of the Impact of 9 11 on Content in Travel Magazines written by Jennifer Curry and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines how the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, which dramatically impacted the travel and transportation industries in the United States, influenced content in travel magazines in the United States and the United Kingdom. A content analysis showed that, while there appeared to be little overall change, there were a number of smaller, subtler changes. The total number of advertisements and articles both decreased post 9/11. The number of articles that dealt with security issues increased post 9/11. There were a number of references to 9/11 itself, with a higher percentage and number of references in the U.S. magazines than the U.K. magazines. Although there was no overall shift in advertising types, the percentage of airline, ship and travel gear ads in all four magazines went down post 9/11, while the percentage of tourism ads increased. Furthermore, the percentage of special advertising sections increased post 9/11, while the percentage of 1/6 page ads decreased. These results suggest that 9/11 did influence both the content and advertisements in travel magazines. (Abstract shortened by UMI.).
