THIS HYPERTEXT is about the way in which the United States Government responds to pivotal incidents that threaten our nation such as the terrorist attack on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001. Obviously, many people are impacted by such occurrances, but what types of people are affected and why? How does our country change as a response to these kinds of attacks? Are our rights affected in any way? All these small questions lead to my larger question that is:
HOW HAS THE JUSTICE SYSTEM BECOME MORE UNFAIR SINCE THE ATTACK ON 9/11?
The main issue I will be discussing in this hypertext is the discrimination immigrants have faced since the incident. Throughout this website, I have included specific actions our government has taken to "protect" its citizens. However, this process that is intended to help ensure the safety of American citizens has ultimately caused specific ethnicities to feel discriminated among their own people while simultaneously creating a distrustful environment. In his novel, Little Brother, Cory Doctorow portrays themes regarding issues of ethnicity and issues of immigration as well as stories regarding the revolutionary impact of questioning the "norm." Through such analyses, problems concerning gender discirmination come into play as well. Throughout this website, facts and research related to Doctorow's overarching concepts of Little Brother are added in addition to ideas in relation to the novel.
Justice (Dictionary definition): "the quality of being just; righteousness, equitableness, or moral rightness: to uphold the justice of a cause."
