Answer to Question 1

The terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 had far reaching effects on the international economy. Stock markets across the world suffered huge financial losses. The airline industry saw a steep reduction in air travel, resulting in financial losses, cases of bankruptcy and job cuts. The tourism industry faced setbacks on account of lesser travel while the insurance sector had to settle enormous claims. Several business shut shop post 9/11 . The attacks also gave rise to the trend of cocooning--the tendency to spend more time at home for work and leisure.This phenomenon was reflected in sales of meal-preparation ingredients, video games, DVD's and reduced spending on eating out, traveling, and watching movies at the cinema.
