There were a few stages alltogether for everyone who wanted to become a knight.
First, you had to have the right background (example - your father being a knight before you).
Then they would be brought up in a family up to the age of 7, where parents would teach them about knight-related things.
After this, they would be sent to lords or barons of different houses/castles, where boys would serve as a page.
After being a page for a certain time period, boys would progress to squires which were basically servants of knights. They had to help them get prepared for battle and also through this gained themselves many skills.
The last thing was actually becoming a knight where a cerenomy was required for everyone who wanted to undergo this ritual.
How Far are you willing to go?
The colonists realized that both women and men needed to be educated so they can have jobs and help with the well being of society. I hope this helps! :)
President Bush was referring to the<em> terrorist attack to the World Trade Center twin towers on 09/11/2001</em><em>, </em>in which 4 airplanes filled with civilian passengers kidnapped by a total of 19 terrorists were intentionally led to collide with strategically important commercial and governmental buildings.
The first 2 planes were led to hit each of the twin towers, which caused them to fully collapse 2 hours after the impact. The third hit the Pentagon, and the forth was unsuccessful due to an attempt of retaking control by passengers and crew members. It was on its way to Washington DC when it fell at an open field close to Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
None of the passengers on board of the planes survived, and the total deaths count reaches close to 3000, among which citizens of more than 70 different nations.
The attacks were claimed by the terrorist islamic organization Al-Qaeda led and found by the infamous terrorist Osama bin Laden, at the time. The US immediate international course of action was the launch of the War on Terror (a.k.a. Global War on Terrorism) started by an invasion to Afganistan, in order to take down the Taliban (group that was harboring the Al-Qaeda terrorists in the country). Along with the war, the US approved the <em>USA Patriot Act</em>, as a domestic act, which allows the government, among other things, to intercept phone calls and e-mails between organizations and people (american or foreign) with suspicion to be somehow related to terrorism, without any need of Justice approval. Many other great nations also reinforced their antiterrorist legislation and expanded the law reach towards the matter.
