The world has remembered one of the most tragic attacks in the USA in 2001, and the consequences of this event stay one of the most discussed. According to Gaibulloev and Sandler (2019), the attack has received the specific name of 9/11 and it made people scared of the lack of security provided by the government. Even though individuals in the USA have freedom, they are willing to stay more protected from those who break the boundaries set by society. When the attack happened, the sociocultural factor changed, and people changed their values related to their family and friends. Some individuals started spending more time with their close people, as this is the main cultural difference of the American community (Gaibulloev and Sandler, 2019). Moreover, church attendance has increased, and individuals could become more concentrated on their lives at the moment without building structured plans for the future.
The level of economic stability has been affected as the government of the USA was oriented specifically on the terroristic problem that appears in the country. Consequently, the GDP percentage has decreased, and the unemployment rate has become more than the average (Gaibulloev and Sandler, 2019). The government’s economic response was quick, and many trading connections with such countries as Afghanistan and Iraq were broken (Hahn, 2019). The country has managed to replace imports by these days.
The tragedy that happened in September of 2001 had a long-term political effect, as many people were grown on the hate-related for those who committed a crime. Citizens of the United States can influence the creation of laws directly, and the anger that appears in victims and their families changes the political system nowadays (Gaibulloev and Sandler, 2019). The government has become negatively attuned to Arab politics, and numerous sanctions appeared to prevent the attempts of a similar tragedy in 2001.
