Question 1: How was your topic affected by 9/11? Click edit, post the power paragraph for question 1. There were many emotions that people felt on September 11th, 2001, one of those is fear. Music was a way for people to display their emotions and it helped people get out what they wanted to say. It isn’t clear in his song but David Bowie is clearly singing about 9/11 in //New Killer Star,// he makes references to Battery park, her also says “I got a better way”, he is saying there is a better way than war to solve these problem’s. It is a scary thing to think about, that people need war to solve the problems of their country, I don’t think that will ever come to an end.

Question 2: Explain the scope (extent), intensity (depth), and nature of the affect of 9/11 on you topic. Click edit, post the power paragraph for question 2. 9/11 changed music, it had a massive impact on the industry(along with most). Music brought people together, it let people express the way they felt, music can make a simple thing seem so much larger. Paul Mcartney held a concert in honor of those who were take from us on 9/11, that concert brought many people together in a time of need. You can't argue with the power of music, it can change your feeling towards something completely, I believe it is that powerful.

Question 3: How has debate on this issue made our country stronger? Click edit, post the power paragraph for question I am not 100% that this has made our country stronger but it sure has made our country closer. U.S. citizens are more awarer than they used to be, pop-culture has given people a vision of terrorsists which isn't exactly always correct. In //Iron Man// the terroist is a bald man with unforgiving eyes and a set jaw and makes him look bad, he looks like someone that is just up to wrong doing. At least it gives people an idea of who to be affraid of and who our enemy is.
