9/11/11
The 10th anniversary of September 11th will be this Sunday. I really can not believe it has been 10 years since this awful event occurred. You were all very young when this happened, but it is important that you still understand the impact that the terrorist attacks had on our country and world at large. It is also just as important that we honor those that have given their lives to defend our way of life.

How old were you on September 11, 2001? Three years old at the time.

When did you first learn about the attacks and who explained the events to you?
Like In 2006.
What kind of impact did these attacks have on your life or your parents lives? It really changed how I thought about people in the middle east.


There is a game that was created about the attacks on September 11. It was called New York Defender and was released on October 11, 2001. This game outraged people because it was insensitive to the memory of those that died and the men and women giving their lives to help others. Read the article at http://www.rawstory.com/news/2007/911_video_game_outrages_survivors_0102.html and answer the questions below in your own blog post.


What was the issue with this game? Warfare

How do you feel about it? I think it is a little bit cool, but it could be really disrespectful because it might make someone guilty.

What is the problem with portraying on such an awful violent event through a video game? It could make someone who could of done something guilty.

How can you make sure that your web games tell the whole story or teach a lesson in an honorable way? I really couldn't say I Could, but I would just tell the straight truth and that it.
