IntroductionProfessionals in psychology work in a variety of
subfields including health psychology, social psychology and
counseling psychology. Individuals trained in health psychology
will work with an entirely different population than those
trained as social or industrial/occupational psychologists. The
nature of their work as well as that of their colleagues and
specific areas of specialty can also vary by subfield. Psychology
is certainly a field that offers myriad possibilities for
psychologists, therapists and counselors. Each area is exciting
and has unique considerations and challenges.

The class project will be broken into six parts. Four research
projects where you will collect reference material, an outline of
the project and completion of the entire paper. The final paper
will be 15-20 pages, with at least 12 sources.
As a method of initiating your research for this course project,
an examination of some of the available literature on the topic
will be initiated.
You will need to assemble a short bibliography in proper APA
format for the following two areas:
Collect at least three quality sources that detail the actual
events leading up to and during the 9/11 attacks.
Collect at least three quality articles that detail the U.S.
response in the few months following 9/11.
Assemble these articles into a bibliography in proper APA
format.
For citation guidelines, please refer to the table in the APA
Style section of the syllabus.
Abstract
This is part one of my final project. The events of September
11, 2001 was devastating all around. I will provide three
sources which will be detailed to actual events leading up to and
during the 9/11 attacks. I will also provide three articles which
detail how the U.S. responded in the months which followed.

Commission on Terrorist Attacks upon the United States.
The national commission on the terror attacks was set up 442
days from the attack itself. The released their final report on
July 22, 2004. Relying on existing documentation this
committee investigated how existing systems failed to foretell t
thus provide us with more security. The report has an effect of
absolving Saudi Arabia of blame in the case. In the two reports
I will seek to identify the causative factors as well as the
measures that were adopted to address them.

discussing the underlying reasons why 9/11 happened and even
why it was planned in the first place.

This article presents a step by step account of various forms of

government's response to 9/11 compromised civil rights in the
name of national security? By Beth Rowen (2007)
The article seeks to explain the impact of the reaction of 9//11
event on the people’s rights. Often the
wishes of the minority are not followed in most leadership. For
a self sufficient democracy however, it
remains imperative that the response by the government be
explored.
