Document Summary
Modernity is based in the study of philosophy. Racism became a much more engaged topic by people after 9/11. Question of racial profiling started to happen and many people were victims to it. At the same time there were massive changes to immigration policies. Some say we have even traded freedom for our security of possibly preventing another 9/11. How we perceive violence started to be become questioned. We have to as a society think about state violence; the authority the government has to start wars in other areas. Spectacular death -how many days/ hours after the event is quite astounding. All this says something about modern media. The creation of images is something that we should think about when we think about the creation of fear. Not only do they make us think about things but also makes us feel certain way which leaves residence from the pictures.
