Education has always been one of the biggest concerns in my life thus far. Everyone wants to succeed and make a name for themselves in the world. Education is what “would make the Bill of Rights real, and make democracy succeed”, states author Benjamin Barber. Following the civil war, people were exposed more and more to the economy, advertising and merchandising of the entertainment industry, and just society in general.
9/11’s impact on our country was evident. For once, it was not the famour actor, or athlete in the limelight, but the citizens who shined. People from all different communities were very important during the aftermath. It opened many doors to citizenship, and “an opportunity to explore interdependence.” All the citizens such as police officers, fireman, etc. were all recognized that day. I think what they accomplished was brave and showed character, and they deserve everything.

Very insightful blog entry Karen, but make sure to expand on your thoughts about the subjects he is talking about a bit more and also make the entry a bit longer (approx. 1 microsft word page long). Thanks!
