Summary

The Fight Against Terrorism

Terrorists attack the United States on September 11, 2001.

The United States increases security at home and searches for suspected terrorists within the country.

The coalition of nations led by the United States launches a war against global terrorism.

Summary

Urban Sprawl

Many metropolitan areas in North America have spread out farther and farther.

This has caused problems such as traffic congestion, air pollution, strains on infrastructure, rising housing costs, and the separation of the well-off from the poor.

Some governments and citizens are promoting “smart growth” as an answer to urban sprawl.
