The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, have changed and affected the US society in different ways. First of all, there have been a change in family life as people tend to spend more time at home and church. Secondly, there has been an increase in the feeling of patriotism out of a feeling of defense of the country. Besides, and perhaps one of the most noticeable effects, is in security. There has been a huge investment in the improvement of civil safety as well as air travel security measures. This can be seen for example in the The USA Patriot Act, passed shortly after the attack, which was mainly focused on anti-terrorist actions as well as in The creation of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. As it is clear, the attacks have changed the mind and life of Americans and of the whole world.
