Many students agree that transferring the rubble to a memorial is the best way to remember the loss.
Chelsea Hill, a 1st-semester history major, said, "it was a big event in modern U.S. history […] it's important to remember what happened so we can realize where our country's going."
Janine Johnson, a 1st-semester animal science major, said, "it's important to give credit to those who died there, and to those who tried to help people get out of the building. They died in the honor of the U.S."
Some the attack, one of the most devastating acts of terrorism on American soil, it is undeniable that the country has changed.
Shannon Hicks, a graduate student studying physical therapy, thinks the attack was "the start of a lot of negative events in the country's history."
Jen Trcka, a 5th-semester business management major, believes the event was "really sad and a horrible situation, but it ended up bringing the nation closer."
A survey implemented by the SHRM (Society for Human Resource Management) shows that positive changes in regards to security occurred across the U.S. According to the survey, 64 percent of organizations have put higher security provisions in place, 27 percent of organizations give their employees more training in crisis management, and 13 percent of organizations have noted that the employees are more caring toward one another. Also, immigration laws have become much more strict in order to avoid possible terrorists entering the country.
Jeff Farrar, a communications professor, said the attacks have spurred scientific study and research aiming to understand more about the kamikaze terrorists.
"Within the communication field, there have been a large number of studies analyzing the communication between terrorists and the idea of persuasion," Farrar said. "These kinds of studies came about during the period of time when the Nazis were in power and are still carried out today to find out more about different groups of people."
