Ali Writes-
“The Wikipedia dictionary defines evil as a word used to described acts, thoughts, and ideas which are thought to (either directly or causally) bring about affliction and death. When reading this definition only one act of evil came to my mind: Osama bin Laden’s attack on the World Trade Centers, just one day short of five years ago.”
I agree to this statement because September 11 is the immediate modern idea of evil and it is present in a lot of different blogs that have appeared so far. The impact of the attack was so powerful that it epitomizes evil in the eyes of many modern teens as well as people of all ages. The reason that many people find this to be such an evil act is that they can all relate to the pain that almost all of America felt through this attack. Something with such an impact on daily human life that killed so many at one time hasn’t occured on American soil for a long time besides the bombing in Oklahoma. This was a hard time for America to cope with and it strained the trust that poeple had with the Middle East and even people that are of Middle Eastern descent in America. America began to have to look over its shoulder with every turn as airport security tightened and trust in the social aspect of American life began to thin. Evil is a very powerful word and it is hard to actually do something that can literally be defined as evil because it takes an event or idea of such magnitude that a large group of people are mentally and physically hurt.
