Because of the events that took place on September 11, 2001, American society as a whole suffered dramatically. Recovery took years, and the economy declined drastically after the attacks. Various first responders united that day to help as much as possible. Whether they were paramedics, police officers, firefighters, doctors, nurses, or ordinary civilians, the main objective was to cooperate and help the wounded. More than 1,500 first responders, ironworkers, engineers, heavy equipment operators, and other workers worked at Ground Zero to attempt to find survivors and clean up the wreckage.{{Cite web|url=https://science.howstuffworks.com/engineering/structural/wtc.htm|title=How the World Trade Center Worked|last=Harris|first=Tom|date=2002-09-11|website=HowStuffWorks|language=en|access-date=2019-06-03}} Cranes and bulldozers were brought in along with search and rescue dogs{{Cite web|url=https://www.dogingtonpost.com/remembering-the-hero-dogs-of-911/|title=Remembering the Hero Dogs of 9/11|last=Brandy Arnold|date=2018-09-11|website=The Dogington Post|language=en-US|access-date=2019-06-04}} in order to locate survivors and bodies of the deceased, however, operations were hindered by the presence of approximately two feet of soot at the site, which obscured objects and bodies.{{Cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2001/sep/12/september11.usa36|title=Seven found alive in World Trade Centre rubble|last=Oliver|first=Mark|date=2001-09-12|work=The Guardian|access-date=2019-06-03|language=en-GB|issn=0261-3077}} File:US Navy 010914-N-1350W-002 fires burning amidst WTC rubble.jpg

The day after the attack, then-mayor Rudy Giuliani told reporters that they were receiving mobile phone calls from people trapped in the debris. The task of removing debris and rubble continued well into 2002, with some 108,000 truckloads of 1.8 million tons of rubble removed by May 2002.{{Cite web|url=https://www.history.com/news/9-11-artifacts-ground-zero-photos|title=9/11 Lost and Found: The Items Left Behind|last=Horne|first=Madison|website=HISTORY|language=en|access-date=2019-06-03}}

Outside of the general hazards due to fires, falling debris, heavy machinery, broken metal, and hazardous air conditions, there were also hidden concerns within the clean-up zone. The parking garage under the World Trade Center at the time of the attacks held nearly 2,000 automobiles; each held an estimated 5 gallons of gasoline, which could ignite and explode. Other concerns were around buried fuel tanks that were located on the site, and the 1.2 million rounds of ammunition that were housed at Building 6 for the use of the U.S. Customs Service.{{Cite journal|last=US Department of Labor|date=May 2002|title=A Dangerous Worksite; The World Trade Center|url=https://www.osha.gov/Publications/dangerous_worksite.pdf|journal=OSHA}}

Following the September 11, 2001 attacks, George W. Bush's job approval rating soared to 86%.{{Cite news |author=Benedetto |first=Richard |last2=O'Driscoll |first2=Patrick |date=September 16, 2001 |title=Poll finds a united nation |url=https://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2001/09/16/poll.htm |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110820012921/http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2001/09/16/poll.htm |archive-date=2011-08-20 |access-date=2017-08-23 |work=USA Today}} On September 20, 2001, the president spoke before the nation and a joint-session of Congress, regarding the events of that day, the intervening nine days of rescue and recovery efforts, and his intent in response to those events in going after the terrorists who orchestrated the attacks. In the speech, he characterized the speech itself as being akin to the President's customary State of the Union address.

The attacks also had immediate and overwhelming effects upon the United States population. People began rallying around the popularized phrase, "United We Stand," in hopes of being resilient and keeping the American spirit alive in the face of a devastating attack. The majority of the US population rallied behind President Bush and the federal government in widespread support to the recovery and the expectant reaction to the attacks. The highly visible role played by Rudy Giuliani, the Mayor of New York City, won him high praise nationally and in New York City.{{Cite news|title=Rudolph Giuliani Rudy the Rock|date=September 22, 2001|work=The Scotsman|location=UK|page=14}} He was named Person of the Year by Time magazine for 2001, and at times had a higher profile in the US than President Bush.

Two major public reactions to the attacks were a surge of public expressions of patriotism not seen since World War II, marked most often by displays of the American flag; and an unprecedented level of respect, sympathy, and admiration for New York City and New Yorkers as a group by Americans in other parts of the United States. Some criticized this particular reaction, noting that not everyone who died was from New York City (for example, some of the passengers on the planes) and that the Arlington County, Virginia community also suffered in the attacks. Many people joined together to help the victims. Gratitude toward uniformed public-safety workers, and especially toward firefighters, was widely expressed in light of both the drama of the risks taken on the scene and the high death toll among the workers. Many people paid tribute to the police officers and firefighters who died during the attacks by wearing NYPD and FDNY hats. The number of casualties among the emergency service personnel was unprecedented.

Blood donations saw a surge in the weeks after 9/11. According to a report by the Journal of the American Medical Association, "...the number of blood donations in the weeks after September 11, 2001, attacks was markedly greater than in the corresponding weeks of 2000 (2.5 times greater in the first week after the attacks; 1.3–1.4 times greater in the second to fourth weeks after the attack)."{{Cite journal |last=Glynn |first=Simone A. |last2=Busch |first2=Michael P. |last3=Schreiber |first3=George B. |last4=Murphy |first4=Edward L. |last5=Wright |first5=David J. |last6=Tu |first6=Yongling |last7=Kleinman |first7=Steven H. |date=May 7, 2003 |title=Effect of a national disaster on blood supply and safety: the September 11 experience |url=http://jama.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/abstract/289/17/2246?maxtoshow=&HITS=10&hits=10&RESULTFORMAT=1&andorexacttitle=and&andorexacttitleabs=and&andorexactfulltext=and&searchid=1119520325357_713&stored_search=&FIRSTINDEX=0&sortspec=relevance&volume=289&firstpage=2246&journalcode=jama |url-status=live |journal=Journal of the American Medical Association |publisher=NHLBI REDS Study Group |volume=289 |issue=17 |pages=2246–2253 |doi=10.1001/jama.289.17.2246 |issn=0098-7484 |pmid=12734136 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101201083415/http://jama.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/abstract/289/17/2246?maxtoshow=&HITS=10&hits=10&RESULTFORMAT=1&andorexacttitle=and&andorexacttitleabs=and&andorexactfulltext=and&searchid=1119520325357_713&stored_search=&FIRSTINDEX=0&sortspec=relevance&volume=289&firstpage=2246&journalcode=jama |archive-date=December 1, 2010|url-access=subscription }} At the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show that took place in New York in February 2002, a tribute was paid to the search and rescue dogs who not only assisted in locating survivors and bodies from the rubble but were also inside the World Trade Center buildings before they collapsed.

In weeks following the attacks, there was a surge in incidents of harassment and hate crimes against South Asians, Middle Easterners, and anyone thought to be "Middle Eastern-looking" people—particularly Sikhs, because Sikh males usually wear turbans, which are stereotypically and erroneously associated with Muslims by many Americans. Balbir Singh Sodhi, a Sikh man, was one of the first victims of this backlash; he was shot dead on September 15 at the gas station he owned in Mesa, Arizona. Mark Anthony Stroman, a white supremacist, killed two men and injured a third in a shooting spree beginning September 15 in Dallas, Texas. His victims, including Bangladeshi American Rais Bhuiyan, were all targeted because they looked "of Muslim descent". His motive for the killings was revenge for the 9/11 attacks.{{cite web|url=https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/07/20/mark-stroman-executed_n_905292.html?icid=maing-grid7|title=Mark Stroman Executed: Texas Man Received Death Penalty For Killing Store Clerk|date=January 25, 2013|website=huffingtonpost.com|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130125231423/http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/07/20/mark-stroman-executed_n_905292.html?icid=maing-grid7|archive-date=January 25, 2013|url-status=dead|access-date=April 4, 2018}} In New York City itself, the only death possibly related to post-9/11 hate violence officially recorded as a homicide was Henryk Siwiak, a Polish immigrant shot in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn on September 11.

In the hopes of dissuading Islamophobic violence, President Bush delivered remarks at the Islamic Center of Washington on September 17 in which he distinguished between al-Qaeda and Islam writ large, affirming that "Islam is peace"; he also criticized Americans who would "take out their anger" about 9/11 against Muslim individuals, calling them "the worst of humankind".{{Cite journal |last=Ching |first=Bruce |date=2020 |title=Echoes of 9/11: Rhetorical Analysis of Presidential Statements in the 'War on Terror' |url=https://scholarship.shu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1771&context=shlr |journal=Seton Hall Law Review |volume=51 |pages=431–459}}{{Cite journal |last=Lee |first=Michael J. |date=2017 |title=Us, Them, and the War on Terror: Reassessing George W.

The attacks were regarded by some as particularly disturbing to children, in part because of the frequency with which the images were replayed on television. Many schools closed early, especially those with children whose parents worked in Washington, D.C., and New York City. In Sarasota, Florida, Emma E. Booker Elementary School became a part of history, as President George W. Bush was reading to a classroom of children there when the attacks happened.{{Cite web|url=https://www.bradenton.com/latest-news/article34522131.html|title=Sarasota school teacher remembers when Bush visited her classroom on 9/11|last=Taylor|first=Angeline|date=September 10, 2011}}

Psychological studies focused on children exposed to the attacks in Lower Manhattan and New York City found higher rates of clinically significant behavior problems among preschool children, as well as elevated rates of PTSD and depression in the years after the attacks.{{Cite web|url=https://psychcentral.com/news/2010/07/19/911-had-significant-impact-on-young-children/15743.html|title=9/11 Had Significant Impact on Young Children|last=Nauert|first=Dr. Rick|date=2010-07-19|website=psychcentral.com|language=en-US|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181220230932/https://psychcentral.com/news/2010/07/19/911-had-significant-impact-on-young-children/15743.html|archive-date=2018-12-20|url-status=live|access-date=2018-12-19}} For children who lost a parent in the attack, psychologists noticed that while some coped well initially, they would at times succumb to bouts of depression and self-harm later in life, or become reluctant to discuss their family history.{{Cite web|url=https://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-911-anniversary-montclair-snap-story.html|title=Their young world crumbled.

{{Main|2 = Economic effects of the September 11 attacks}}

After the terrorist attack, various repercussions took place that affected the U.S as a whole. All the money and claims that were being put out to help aid the victims of the attack, as well as different security and laws to protect the U.S, caused several layoffs and unemployment. Specifically, It was said that 462 extended masses were layoffs because of the attacks that displaced approximately 130,000 employees.{{Cite web|url=https://fas.org/irp/crs/RL31617.pdf|title=The Economic Effects of 9/11: A Retrospective Assessment|last=Makinen|first=Gail|date=September 27, 2002}} The unemployment rate inclined to a total of 5.0%.

The attacks caused an estimated overall economic loss to the city of $82.8 to 94.8 billion, with the lower number being consistent with the NYC Partnership's November 2001 estimate and the high end being consistent with the New York City Comptroller's October 2001 estimate. It was calculated that the lost human productive value, life insurance payouts were $2.63 billion, federal payments after offsets were estimated at $2.34 billion and charitable payments were $0.79 billion.

{{Main|Artwork damaged or destroyed in the September 11 attacks}}

It was projected by one individual that the public art that was damaged or destroyed during the attacks was valued at $10 million. Art by Louise Nevelson, Alexander Calder, and James Rosati were all destroyed along with a memorial sculpture by Elyn Zimmerman in memorial for the victims of the 1993 World Trade Center Bombing.{{Cite web|url=https://www.npr.org/news/specials/response/home_front/features/2001/oct/011016.lostart.html|title=NPR: America Responds -- The Home Front: Lost Art|website=www.npr.org|access-date=2019-06-04}}

As of August 2002, there were approximately 1,464 claims against the city of New York City that amounted to approximately $8.2 billion, although the New York City Law Department indicated at the time that the City's liability for the claims would only be around $350 million, provided through an act of Congress. The claims ranged from City employee's personal injuries that totaled around $5.2 billion, suffering due to the loss of life that totaled around $3 billion, and for the destruction of property such as the one filed by AEGIS Insurance Company for $250 million.

The [https://www.federalgrantswire.com/post-911-federal-grants.html#.XK1MJOtKjQt 9/11 Heroes Stamp Program] was administered by the Department of Homeland Security which gave funds to those who became disabled from direct contact in the attack or suffered a loss from the attack.{{Cite web|url=https://www.federalgrantswire.com/post-911-federal-grants.html#.XK1MJOtKjQt|title=Post 9/11 Federal Grants}} The Post- 9/11 GI Bill became a result after 9/11, paying homage to the U.S military soldiers, which provided educational and financial assistance to those soldiers who were returning to civilian life.

For that to happen the program [https://www.federalgrantswire.com/post-911-federal-grants.html#.XK1MJOtKjQt law enforcement training and technical assistance] grant was created hoping to stop or better compose for a terrorist attack.

The attacks affected trade relations with foreign countries, complicating the supply of oil demands. After the attack, oil prices skyrocketed.

{{Main|War on Terror}}

The evolution of security and protective services changed tremendously due to the attacks. Immediate changes included air travel policies, airport security and screening, and guidelines that must be obeyed before getting on board. Congress immediately responded after the terrorist attack by passing the [http://immigrationtounitedstates.org/371-aviation-and-transportation-security-act-of-2001.html Aviation and Transportation Security Act],{{Cite web|url=http://immigrationtounitedstates.org/371-aviation-and-transportation-security-act-of-2001.html|title=Aviation and TransportationSecurity Act of 2001|last=Dineen|first=Marcia}} which applied to different types of transportation, not just air travel.

Additional screening was another main focus that took place during the period after the attacks, and many passengers were prescreened and advanced screened at different security checkpoints. This led to the major issue of racial profiling and invasion of privacy, as many Middle Eastern-looking people were singled out for further screening. Luggage screening was another main objective, as new technology was introduced to scan passengers' luggage thoroughly and search for weapons or bombs. In addition, some pilots were required by the Department of Homeland Security to carry a firearm on board. Better known as a Federal flight deck officer, these pilots undergo training to prevent terrorist attacks or other potential dangers on an airplane.

Another act was passed known as the [https://www.justice.gov/archive/ll/highlights.htm USA Patriot Act], which broadened the powers of law enforcement to identify terrorist activity. For example, law enforcement was allowed able to break one's premises without a search warrant and their consent, if they were suspected of terrorist activity. This also included roving wiretaps as a method of surveillance. For instance, the government was allowed to search through one's record searches and intelligence searches. Specifically, if one searched terrorism activities or showed unusual behavior and then deleted their history, the government was able to see that. The purpose of this act was to catch acts of terrorism before any attacks were planned and executed. A program called Total Information Awareness was developed to enhance the technology that would collect and analyze information about every individual in the United States, and trace unusual behaviors that could help prevent terrorist activities. Information that was gathered through the program included internet activity, credit card purchase histories, airline ticket purchases, and medical records.

The attacks had major worldwide political effects. Many other countries introduced tough anti-terrorism legislation and took action to cut off terrorist finances, including the freezing of bank accounts suspected of being used to fund terrorism. Law enforcement and intelligence agencies stepped up cooperation to arrest terrorist suspects and break up suspected terrorist cells around the world.

Reaction to the attacks in the Muslim world was mixed. Also, shortly after the attack, the media picked up on several celebrations of the attacks in the Middle East with images of these celebrations being broadcast on television and published in print. Less publicized were public displays of sympathy, including candlelight vigils in countries like Iran.[http://groups.colgate.edu/aarislam/response.htm Scholars of Islam & the Tragedy of Sept. 11] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160825181502/http://groups.colgate.edu/aarislam/response.htm|date=August 25, 2016}}

In the immediate aftermath of the attacks many United States–based airports would not accept airplane flights to land, causing Operation Yellow Ribbon in which all incoming international flights were rerouted by the FAA to airports in Canada.{{Cite journal|last=Chase|first=Steven|date=September 12, 2001|title=Canada rolls down security shutters|journal=The Globe and Mail|pages=A7}} Many Canadians opened up their homes to stranded travelers and organizations such as the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals gave comfort to animals and other special groups that were stranded by the diversions.{{Cite web|url=https://nypost.com/2017/02/26/meet-the-canadians-who-opened-their-doors-to-stranded-travelers-after-911/|title=Meet the Canadians who opened their doors to stranded travelers after 9/11|last=Cooperman|first=Jackie|date=2017-02-26|website=New York Post|language=en|access-date=2019-06-03}}

In France, calls to the United States Embassy were placed by locals who offered rooms within their homes to stranded passengers and observed the official day of mourning with three minutes of silence and stillness.{{Cite magazine|url=https://time.com/4112746/paris-attacks-us-september-911-terrorism/|title=How Paris Stood With the U.S. After 9/11|last=Jenkins|first=Nash|date=November 14, 2015|magazine=Time|language=en|access-date=2019-06-03}}

The attack prompted numerous memorials and services all over the world with many countries, along with the United States, declaring a national day of mourning. In Berlin, 200,000 Germans marched to show their solidarity with America.{{Citation needed|date=September 2021}} The French newspaper of record, Le Monde, ran a front-page headline reading "Nous sommes Tous Américains", or "We are all Americans".{{Cite magazine|title=How Paris Stood With the U.S. After 9/11|url=https://time.com/4112746/paris-attacks-us-september-911-terrorism/|access-date=2021-09-01|magazine=Time|language=en}} In London, the US national anthem was played at the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace.{{Cite web|date=2001-09-14|title=US anthem played at changing of the guard|url=http://www.theguardian.com/uk/2001/sep/14/september11.usa3|access-date=2021-09-01|website=the Guardian|language=en}} In the UK, national anthems are typically only played for official state visits. To mark the Queen's Golden Jubilee, New York City lit the Empire State Building in purple and gold, to say "thank you" for this action.{{Citation needed|date=September 2021}}

Hate crimes against Muslims increased around the world. For example, Canada experienced a 16-fold increase in anti-Muslim attacks immediately a year after 9/11.{{Cite book|title=Hate Crimes, Volume 3|last1=Perry|first1=Barbara|last2=Levin|first2=Brian|last3=Iganski|first3=Paul|last4=Blazak|first4=Randy|last5=Lawrence|first5=Frederick|publisher=Praeger Publishers|year=2009|isbn=9780275995690|location=Westport, CT|pages=86}} In the year leading to the attack, there were only 11 reported crimes but a year following 9/11, there were 173 hate crime cases reported. The same also happened in the United Kingdom and Australia. In the latter's case, a study conducted in Sydney and Melbourne revealed an overwhelming majority of Muslim residents who experienced racism or racist violence since the attack. Another study claimed that hate crimes "increased for all Muslims after 9/11, although the relative risk was much higher for those individuals living in countries with smaller Muslim populations."{{Cite book|title=Social Vulnerability to Disasters, Second Edition|last1=Thomas|first1=Deborah|last2=Phillips|first2=Brenda|last3=Lovekamp|first3=William|last4=Fothergill|first4=Alice|publisher=CRC Press|year=2013|isbn=9781466516380|location=Boca Raton|pages=346}}

An increase in racial tensions was seen in countries such as England, with a number of violent crimes linked to the September 11th attacks.{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/1551868.stm |title=Muslim community targets racial tension |date=19 September 2001 |access-date=2014-06-08 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080217222719/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/1551868.stm |archive-date=February 17, 2008 |df=mdy }} The most severe example was seen in Peterborough, where teenager Ross Parker was murdered by a gang of up to ten Muslims of Pakistani background who had sought a white male to attack.{{cite news |last= Reville |first= Alan |title= Murdered Ross Parker remembered 10 years on |work= Peterborough Evening Telegraph |url= http://www.peterboroughtoday.co.uk/news/local/murdered_ross_parker_remembered_10_years_on_1_3077380 |date= 22 September 2011 |access-date= 27 December 2011 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20111228040001/http://www.peterboroughtoday.co.uk/news/local/murdered_ross_parker_remembered_10_years_on_1_3077380 |archive-date= 28 December 2011 |url-status= dead }}{{Citation|last=Her Majesty's Court Service |url=http://www.hmcourts-service.gov.uk/cms/144_13295.htm |title=Minimum Terms, High Court setting of minimum terms for mandatory life sentences under the Criminal Justice Act 2003 |date=24 November 2006 |access-date=27 December 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110606125042/http://www.hmcourts-service.gov.uk/cms/144_13295.htm |archive-date=June 6, 2011 }}{{cite news
