9/11 has made a big impact and has effected U.S citizens for many reasons. After 9/11 the U.S saw a birth of fear in all of its citizens. It caused everyone to become fearful of the future because nobody knew what was coming next. As a result, many citizens prefer to travel less because the fear of hijackers.

Although the actions and beliefs of characters in the plays Antigone and Oedipus Rex may seem primitive at times the themes that the plays portray such as guilt vs. shame and the position of women have morals that can be applied to today’s society. Guilt and shame can overcome many people’s lives and can cause some major problems. Some major problems could be depression, anxiety, and multiple personalities.

As humans we fear many things in life, fear of failure, loss, and fear of being hurt. In society yet humans continue to make war and kill each other and those murders don’t happen because of natural disaster. Conflict is caused when we fear something therefore we fight to protect them. Humans wouldn’t be killing each other if humans weren’t afraid of them.

Because being a teacher was to be with children and teach them what was right and wrong, just like mothers. In this period, men didn’t think for one second to be a maid, nurse or teacher, because they were meant for women to do and they were too manly for those jobs. Before the war employers didn’t hire women because they believed they were jobs assigned for men (nps.gov). Most women gave up work when they married, though some women kept working after marriage because they couldn't afford to give up their jobs. Working after marriage was generally something done mainly by poor women.
A Growing Problem: Teen Suicide & Depression When people think about suicide, they think about someone taking their life away on purpose, or in other words it means, “to kill one‘s self”. Suicide is a dramatic word that can change the way people view things in life. It is an event where a young one feels desperation and pain just before pulling the trigger or jumping off the bridge. Many of those who have thought about suicide or have committed suicide have done it because their life has changed in a dramatic way, depression, drug abuse, anxiety, bullying, and many are having difficulty adjusting to it. It is a time where everything seems to go wrong, and a person starts to feel empty inside.

But with people choosing to end their life many fear a “Slippery Slope” is soon to follow. The slippery slope theory states that PAS will go from voluntary to involuntary.
