After  the occurrence of cold  way  and the 9/11 terror  attack  the united government  reacted  in  distinct and similar  ways  which resulted  in the reshaping  of  many  Americans  life’s  phases.  Some  of the  adopted  reactions resulted in  temporary  changes  since they were  immediate  reactions based  on the  concern  for  individuals  safety  while others proved to have created  long-term  changes  of the citizens  lives (Villemez 1).  After  both the  9/11 and the  cold  war the  government  responded with the  implementation  of  sanctions  which were both social and  economic.

After  the 9/11 event  the  government  airport security was  federalized  by passing  of the aviation  and transportation  security  act to enhance  travelling security (Villemez 1).  Immigration, deportation  and  tourism  were major concerns  since  the number  of those that were deported  raised  by  approximately  104 percent (Villemez 1).   Most  of the  minority  groups  and especially  the Muslims  were considered as  threats  and had to  be treated different.  This  was  similar to the  response   offered by the government  after the cold war since  travelling  and the  immigration from  several  states  had  been restricted (Villemez 1).  In addition the  government implemented  heavy economic sanctions   against  those states  to  hinder  their  genera  ability  to trade  and  immigrate  into  America.  For both  events  transportation  security  was highly  honored  thus  introducing  heavy  administration  of  travels (NAN 1). The B&H labor  violation  article  relates  to one of the  large  issue  in the state  which is  immigration and discrimination (Fickenscher 1).  In my opinion, the reaction of the government towards both events can be considered as effective despite the fact that some minority groups were affected.  Something had to be done so that the social and the economic wellness of the state would be protected.
