Submit your 750-word report comparing the attitudes of people under Napoleon's reign with the attitudes of people in the U. S. after September 11, 2001. Compare and contrast the attitudes of people under Napoleon's reign with the attitudes of people under the U. S. government following the events of September 11, 2001.

As stated in the previous lesson, "All that Napoleon proposed and provided, the French generally agreed to, as long as the peace and security they so desperately sought came along with it." Many people in society today seem to hold to the same belief: "As long as I am safe and secure, it doesn't matter what the government does." In other words, they are willing to sacrifice certain freedoms for safety and security. Using resources from the library, the Internet, or other sources, research the attitudes of Napoleon's day and compare them to the attitudes of our modern society. Write a report of 750 words; be sure to use proper spelling and grammar.
