10. "I demand a recount"- Al Gore- The whole scandal with Al Gore, many people believed Al Gore actually won the election.
9. Gas Prices Skyrocketing- gas prices reached insane new highs, it effected the way we live our daily lives.
8. Michael Jackson's death- Possibliy one of the most public deaths of the decade. The tradgic life of Michael Jackson ended.
7. Captain Sullivan lands plane in Hudson- In a decade of so much grief, we found a birght spot.
6. Hurricane Katrina- We all saw on tv the chaos that ensued down in south. It took a country wide effort to help out.
5. Bernie Maddoff scandal- This event truly encompasses all the fraud occuring within the decade. Maddoff ripped off thousands off people without remorse.
4. Obama becomes president- We all hoped on the "hope" train and witnessed history in front of our eyes, the first black president.
3. Invasion of Iraq- There was not full support for this war, still isnt, thats why it is significant. The one event that is constantly talked about in all facets of the media is the war in iraq.
2. Economic Recession- This decade we went through, still going through, the worst recession in decades. Unemployment rates skyrocketed, and forclosure rates rose. Typical Americans could'nt live their lives like they were used to.
1. 9/11- This event had a significant impact on our decade as we know it. It is quite possibly the major turning point in this decade. After this event a chain reaction of significant events occured. Life as we know it would be changed, if 9/11 never occured.
10. July 21st 2007, The final of 7 Harry Potters books was released. Indeed I am a die hard Harry Potter fan, but the release of this book began the end of an obsession. Our culture became obsessed with wizards when J.K Rowling released her first harry potter novel. Currently, the world is obsessed with Vampires, and gothic romanticisim, but this event is important because it heavily impacted culture.
9. Feb.1 2003- Space shuttle Columbia blew up on reentry after a successful 16 day mission. Among the dead was the first Israeli astronaut.This was a major devistation in history and science.
8. Obsession with healthy. The media portrays that people are not healthy and it is because of fast food but there is a huge obsession with being healthy and fit and skinny. Healthy is importnant, but the world is eitehr too fat or too thin, because no one knows how to properly take care of themslves.
7. Death of icons: Rosa Park, Micheal Jackson, Reagan, Ledger, Murphy, Fauset
6. Flip flops to the white house--> WHat is our generation coming to when they don't know how to dress
5. Generation ME! LAZY GOOD FOR NOTHING INDIVIDUALS! MILLENIALS are taking over.
4. TECHNOLOGY and individuals dependence on it. It makes it easier but it is impariing communication, personal, and social skills.
3. The Blackout on Aug 10th 2003. There was a serious power outage in Ohio that lead to a larger one across the entire northeast. This was significant because it scared the world: despite the hardship there was very little civil disruptions as New Yorkers and other people of region worked to help each other. Perhaps if we have another blackout people will be able to learn to live without technology
2. Hurricane Katrina. Many people forget about this event that heavily impacted New Orleans. This was when the world began to think about other people more than ever. To this day, relief is still being given, and relief is still needed.
1. September 11th 2001. 9/11 sparked a war, a recession, a change in political figure, a change in the way other people are viewed, a change in the way we, as Americans live. This was by far the most significant happening in this decade.
1. 9/11 - Had huge short term and long term impacts that are seen across the globe. Tragedy. 2. President Obama - I think thats pretty obvious. 3. Iraq War - Hey, this helps get #10 on the list! 4.

10) Michael Jaksons death- This showed many Americans that they shouldnt judge people who are falsly accused. people realized how much they actually liked Michael Jackson and hurt a lot of people 9) Pope John Paul II- The pope is an extremely important figure in America so his death was devestating to everyone and the election of a new pope will go down in history 8) Virgina Tech Shooting- This showed America that school isnt always the safest plave and it gave the school system a reality check which caused better security to be put into place 7) The start of legalizing same sex marrige- This is a major issue in america and it will not be solved fast but one state at a time it is being accomplished and any steps toward change will help. 6) The end of Suddam Hussein- This gave people hope that we can surrvive terrorism. It also made everyone feel more safe knowing he wasnt going to do harm to America anymore 5) Hurricane katrina- When people volunteered to help people that surrvived Hurricane Katrina it brought people together and showed America still has a heart 4) Presidential Election(Bush)- many people believe George Bush is the reason we are in this current recession so his election definitly had a large impact on america. 3) Advancements in Technology- inventions of things like the Ipod, Iphone, etc. have really had a large impact in our generation we are so obsessed with technology it is literally sickening. 2) Presidential Election (obama)- The first African American president was a big step for america. It was a major start to eliminating racism in America. September 11th- I think this is the most important event that has occured within the past deccade. Even for just a little while it brought the enrire Country together like something I have never seen before and as devestating as it was we got through it and I believe that gave a lot of people hope.

How can one even hope to take an full decade into account when so much has happened. I mean hell, most of us can account for every event that happened to us in the past year. Well, I'll give it a try; however I'm sure there are many things that all of us will miss in our list, that we will remember someday want to add to these lists.
10. Obama Presidency- I know that this is low on my list and many people will disagree, but this was not as big of a deal as everyone says it is. First of all he is not the first black president. He is our first mixed-racial president. And even if was 100% black that still doesn't mean racisim has come to an end.

2. 9/11- An day that will be remembered for the whole of American history. It has changered the face of our culture.
1. The War on terror- This is the single most important event of this decade because it will never end. While a nation can defeat another nation. A nation can not destroy an idea. And that is what were trying to do. There will be no end to the war and will effect America until America no longer exists.

Huricane Katrina: thousands of people face danger and are homeless due to the huricane which forced them to flee their homes and FEMA does a poor job of helping out. 6. George Bush: somehow he was allowed to run this country for EIGHT terrible years. Probably the biggest mistake of a president. 5. Finding of Water on the Moon: not too many people are aware that we have discovered water on the Moon, which can provide for longer journeys into space. 4. Swine Flu- becomes a huge epidemic even though it killed less people than the seasonal flu. People overreacted to this flu way too much. 3. Virgina Tech Shooting: one of the most tramatic shootings since columbine 2. President Obama: our first black president and changes history forever 1. 9/11: I doubt any will every forget where they were when they heard the terrible news of 9/11.

Apple Iphone- Remember when there wasn't "an app for that"? 4. Instant gratification- we want it, we need it, we need it now. 5. Texting- R U 4 REAL? 6. GPS- No one knows how to read a map anymore.

All of these events may not be horrible or political or world wide, but they impacted our every day lives the most and in the biggest way.
10)Swine Flu: One of the biggest viruse scares ever...a whole lot of panic for not a lot of people dying (less then a normal flu season; go figure!) 9) Heath Ledger dying: Shocking death of a young actor who was just featured in the new Batman movie 8) Facebook created: The most popular internet networking site that is used by everyone from students to parents and their parents 7) Hurrican Katrina: Destroyed the south 6) Saddam Hussein captured 5) Plane crashing into the Hudson: The heroic actions of the pilot saved the lives of everyone on the plane 4) Economic Scare/Depression: Unemployment at an extremely high rate 3) War in Iraq: Our involvement overseas in a war that seems to be pointless. 2) Obama: First black president of the United States which speaks for itself 1) 9/11: Two plants crashed into the twin towers causing death and destruction as well as lost loved ones throughout the nation.
It is difficult to list the Top 10 Most Notable Happenings of the decade since there have been many.
1) September 11th- Nobody will ever forget this day. Many loved ones lost their life and everyone's view on America changed. We witness tighter security especially in airports. We actually needed to take off our shoes for security and we weren't allowed to bring water on a plane. 2) The invasion of Iraq- President Bush in my mind made a huge mistake by sending troops to Iraq. So many lives were lost and we are not even close to withdrawing. 3) Economic Recession- Many American's are facing unemployment and house foreclosures because of the inflation of the US dollar and the inability to find work. 4) Inauguration of President Obama- America faced it's first African American in office 5) Hurricane Katrina- Many innocent lives were lost and homes destroyed due to this powerful storm that swept throught Louisiana 6) Swine Flu epidemic- People began going crazy over getting vaccines to immune themself against this horrific epidemic. 7) The Miracle on the Hudson- Captain Sullenberger showed great courage and inspiration to many families who had relatives on this plane.

The invention of Facebook has also made people able to talk with others throughout the world 9) Tiger Woods scandal- it has made Americans look at the lives of athletes differently 10) White House Crashers- this shows that there really isn't that much security present anywhere. It also shows how anyone can enter the White House and potentially do something horrific.

Dependance on technology: Facebook and Youtube are our best friends, people are better able to express themselves through a :) than by actually smiling.

4. Obama becomes president- We all hoped on the "hope" train and witnessed history in front of our eyes, the first black president.
3. Invasion of Iraq- There was not full support for this war, still isnt, thats why it is significant. The one event that is constantly talked about in all facets of the media is the war in iraq.
2. Economic Recession- This decade we went through, still going through, the worst recession in decades. Unemployment rates skyrocketed, and forclosure rates rose. Typical Americans could'nt live their lives like they were used to.
1. 9/11- This event had a significant impact on our decade as we know it. It is quite possibly the major turning point in this decade. After this event a chain reaction of significant events occured. Life as we know it would be changed, if 9/11 never occured.
Bryan Martin Per.2
10. July 21st 2007, The final of 7 Harry Potters books was released. Indeed I am a die hard Harry Potter fan, but the release of this book began the end of an obsession. Our culture became obsessed with wizards when J.K Rowling released her first harry potter novel. Currently, the world is obsessed with Vampires, and gothic romanticisim, but this event is important because it heavily impacted culture.
9. Feb.1 2003- Space shuttle Columbia blew up on reentry after a successful 16 day mission. Among the dead was the first Israeli astronaut.This was a major devistation in history and science.
8. Obsession with healthy. The media portrays that people are not healthy and it is because of fast food but there is a huge obsession with being healthy and fit and skinny. Healthy is importnant, but the world is eitehr too fat or too thin, because no one knows how to properly take care of themslves.

This was significant because it scared the world: despite the hardship there was very little civil disruptions as New Yorkers and other people of region worked to help each other. Perhaps if we have another blackout people will be able to learn to live without technology
2. Hurricane Katrina. Many people forget about this event that heavily impacted New Orleans. This was when the world began to think about other people more than ever. To this day, relief is still being given, and relief is still needed.
1. September 11th 2001. 9/11 sparked a war, a recession, a change in political figure, a change in the way other people are viewed, a change in the way we, as Americans live. This was by far the most significant happening in this decade.
1. 9/11 - Had huge short term and long term impacts that are seen across the globe. Tragedy.

2) Presidential Election (obama)- The first African American president was a big step for america. It was a major start to eliminating racism in America.
September 11th- I think this is the most important event that has occured within the past deccade. Even for just a little while it brought the enrire Country together like something I have never seen before and as devestating as it was we got through it and I believe that gave a lot of people hope.

period 8
How can one even hope to take an full decade into account when so much has happened. I mean hell, most of us can account for every event that happened to us in the past year. Well, I'll give it a try; however I'm sure there are many things that all of us will miss in our list, that we will remember someday want to add to these lists.
10. Obama Presidency- I know that this is low on my list and many people will disagree, but this was not as big of a deal as everyone says it is. First of all he is not the first black president. He is our first mixed-racial president. And even if was 100% black that still doesn't mean racisim has come to an end. When racism has been destroyed that is going as number 1 on my top tenm list of all time.
9. Large Scale Distrobution of Solar Panels and other renewable energy sources- paving a way for our future.
8. I'm sorry, but I'm going to have skip a few because I'm not going to ramble on about celebrities and it is very difficult to take a full year in to account on short notice. I'm skipping to 2 & 1.
2. 9/11- An day that will be remembered for the whole of American history. It has changered the face of our culture.
1. The War on terror- This is the single most important event of this decade because it will never end. While a nation can defeat another nation. A nation can not destroy an idea. And that is what were trying to do. There will be no end to the war and will effect America until America no longer exists.
James Lopilato Period 8
10. Modern Day Cell Phones: made the information era we live in today because people can find out so much info in a few minutes with a little device that is constantly around them.
9. Tiger Woods cheats on his wife and makes people think twice about who is really a good person.
8. Miracle on the Hudson: hundreds of people survive a plane crash thanks to a pilot who quickly became a hero.
7. Huricane Katrina: thousands of people face danger and are homeless due to the huricane which forced them to flee their homes and FEMA does a poor job of helping out.
6. George Bush: somehow he was allowed to run this country for EIGHT terrible years. Probably the biggest mistake of a president.
5. Finding of Water on the Moon: not too many people are aware that we have discovered water on the Moon, which can provide for longer journeys into space.
4. Swine Flu- becomes a huge epidemic even though it killed less people than the seasonal flu. People overreacted to this flu way too much.
3. Virgina Tech Shooting: one of the most tramatic shootings since columbine
2. President Obama: our first black president and changes history forever
1. 9/11: I doubt any will every forget where they were when they heard the terrible news of 9/11. It increased security every where and patriotism across america.
1. 9/11- America gains a sense of nationalism. National Security intensifies. I remember not having to take my shoes off before getting onto an airplane.
2. Facebook- need I say more?
3. Apple Iphone- Remember when there wasn't "an app for that"?
4. Instant gratification- we want it, we need it, we need it now.
5. Texting- R U 4 REAL?
6. GPS- No one knows how to read a map anymore. Mapquest is no longer good enough either. We can't get lost anymore.
7. Online dating- In August 2003 alone, 40 million unique users visited online dating sites in the US alone.

All of these events may not be horrible or political or world wide, but they impacted our every day lives the most and in the biggest way.
10)Swine Flu: One of the biggest viruse scares ever...a whole lot of panic for not a lot of people dying (less then a normal flu season; go figure!)
9) Heath Ledger dying: Shocking death of a young actor who was just featured in the new Batman movie
8) Facebook created: The most popular internet networking site that is used by everyone from students to parents and their parents

5) Plane crashing into the Hudson: The heroic actions of the pilot saved the lives of everyone on the plane

2) Obama: First black president of the United States which speaks for itself
1) 9/11: Two plants crashed into the twin towers causing death and destruction as well as lost loved ones throughout the nation.
It is difficult to list the Top 10 Most Notable Happenings of the decade since there have been many.
1) September 11th- Nobody will ever forget this day. Many loved ones lost their life and everyone's view on America changed. We witness tighter security especially in airports. We actually needed to take off our shoes for security and we weren't allowed to bring water on a plane.
2) The invasion of Iraq- President Bush in my mind made a huge mistake by sending troops to Iraq. So many lives were lost and we are not even close to withdrawing.
3) Economic Recession- Many American's are facing unemployment and house foreclosures because of the inflation of the US dollar and the inability to find work.
4) Inauguration of President Obama- America faced it's first African American in office
5) Hurricane Katrina- Many innocent lives were lost and homes destroyed due to this powerful storm that swept throught Louisiana
6) Swine Flu epidemic- People began going crazy over getting vaccines to immune themself against this horrific epidemic.
7) The Miracle on the Hudson- Captain Sullenberger showed great courage and inspiration to many families who had relatives on this plane. He saved every single life and became a Hero to many.
8) Newer technology- the impact of texting has become crazy with almost every American relying on a cell phone in order to communicate with others. The invention of Facebook has also made people able to talk with others throughout the world
9) Tiger Woods scandal- it has made Americans look at the lives of athletes differently
10) White House Crashers- this shows that there really isn't that much security present anywhere. It also shows how anyone can enter the White House and potentially do something horrific.
Gabriella Sehne, Period 8
In no particular order:
9/11 and the rise of terrorism worldwide: the world is a more dangerous place, no matter which country you're in.
Hurricane Katrina: made us realize that humans aren't so powerful after all, and that we need to get FEMA together.
Tsunami: a terrible tragedy.
Worldwide Recession: kind of a problem...we need to stop spending money we don't have.
Virginia Tech: a terrible tragedy.
2000 Presidential Election: Al Gore should have won.
Obama: not the best president ever, didn't deserve that nobel prize... but still made history.
"Going Green" : really? Only if by green, you mean money, because that's all we care about. We need to step up our environmental actions. "Only when the last tree has been cut down, only when the last river has been poisoned, only when the last fish is caught will we realize we can't eat money."
Dependance on technology: Facebook and Youtube are our best friends, people are better able to express themselves through a :) than by actually smiling.
We survive Y2K: enabling us to continue/develop this dependance on technology
