Answer:
1. Ongoing Wars
2.Immigration and Deportation
3. Big surveillance
Explanation:
1. Less than a month after 9/11, U.S. troops invaded Afghanistan in an attempt to dismantle al-Qaeda — the terrorist group that claimed responsibility for the attacks — and remove the Taliban government harboring it. Our military involvement in Afghanistan, which continues today, has turned into the longest-running war in U.S. history. And although formal U.S. combat operations ended in late 2014, more than 8,000 U.S. troops are still there to stem the ongoing Taliban insurgency. The LA Times reports that as of August 25, 2014, 749 California service members from every corner of the state had been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.
2. The Immigration and Naturalization Service and the U.S. Customs Service -- both formerly part of the Department of Justice -- were consolidated into the newly formed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The agency has overseen a massive increase in deportations; they have nearly doubled since 9/11. According to the Department of Homeland Security’s Yearbook of Immigration Statistics, there were roughly 200,000 annual deportations a year between 1999 and 2001. While that number dropped slightly in 2002, it began to steadily climb the following year. In the first two years of the Obama Administration (2009 - 2010), deportations hit a record high: nearly 400,000 annually. About half of those deported during that period were convicted of a criminal offense, although mostly low-level, non-violent crimes.
3. The U.S. intelligence state boomed in the wake of 9/11. The growth resulted in a marked increase in government oversight, primarily through a vast, clandestine network of phone and web surveillance. The exponential growth of this apparatus -- armed with a $52.6 billion budget in 2013 -- was brought to light when the Washington Post obtained a "black budget" report from Snowden, detailing the bureaucratic and operational landscape of the 16 spy agencies and more than 107,000 employees that now make up the U.S. intelligence community.

Answer:
Explanation:
I don't think teaching has changed all that much in 2000 years to be truthful. Jesus is said to have been a master teacher. He used very few methods: parables, learned references, complete and utter faith in the rightness of the Father. He was successful.
Socrates used questions. His students were never let off the hook. If they faltered in even the smallest detail, he pursued them with a tenacity that forced them to defend themselves. He lived more than 2000 years ago. He was successful -- so much so that Athens feared his influence.
Modern teachers carefully follow a line of thought from Grade 1 to Grade 12. Their objective is vastly different perhaps than the other two. They are interested in preparing students for what they will face when they leave the protection of the school system. You may not agree, but I think they are successful.
What do these examples have in common?
In my opinion the very vast majority of teachers have two qualities in common: they care about the people they teach; they care about the subject matter they are teaching or the skills or the training or whatever you want to call it. Most feel strongly about what they are doing.
Few teachers will ever make the Frobes Billionaire's List if any at all. But they are content with enough.
