1.) The article states that ISIS "justifies its plundering and pillaging of ancient sites and statues by calling them false idols..." I think this means that ISIS is destroying these important historical sites because the sites violate what they believe is true, and have a more radical approach to expressing that. I also think that maybe the historical sites prove that certain events happened that go against their religion, and they do not want to acknowledge that these things happened or that these ideas exist, and so they are destroying them so members of ISIS and others cannot see them. In addition, my opinion is that they don't agree with how society is being run and want to cause terror or scare civilians. ISIS wants to show them that …show more content…
They can add extra security measures and checks at the historical sites. In addition, they can employ more security guards. However, I also think that defeating ISIS would require more than just extra security, as ISIS is an extremely powerful force. For this reason, it would definitely be helpful if some of the stronger and more powerful nations aided the countries being victimized by ISIS. I think the United States might be able to assist the foreign officials and stop the destruction ISIS is causing or at least some of it, but it would require them to use a lot of their military budget and power, and I don't know if they are willing to do that because of the economic and military-related strain it would put on our own nation. But in the meantime, I think that it would help to have protocols for what to do in case of a terrorist-related emergency. This would help prevent emergencies as well as deal with them in an organized manner if they are to happen. But the most important thing we can all do is to show ISIS that we cannot be defeated, because then ISIS gets what they want. Just like America showed that 9/11 made us stronger as a nation, the nations being attacked by ISIS need to do the same sort of thing. Doing this shows to ISIS that no matter what they do, nations will just get …show more content…
One "historical site/city" would be New York City. I think this is an important place in our culture because it embodies the American dream. It represents politics, diversity, sports, Capitalism, music, art, and the countless other aspects of American culture, such as our food and lifestyle. It also holds the Statue of Liberty, which is an important and highly recognized symbol of America, and symbolizes freedom. Another historical site that I think is important to America is Washington D.C. and the White House. This is an important place because it houses the branches/officials of the government and is the capital of our country. America has a uniquely crafted-to-perfection political setup, and I think that Americans are incredibly proud of this. Washington D.C. is an important symbol of our strong government and role in the world, as well as the patriotism shown for America in all of our hearts. Plus, the White House is a grand, fancy building located in D.C., where the president lives. It is important because it is very well-known, important, and respected. These are just a few of our historical sites; however, there are countless others that bring glory and importance to
C, is also a city with great significance in the US. DC has an immense amount of museums, with the Smithsonian Museums, the Newseum, and many others. There are many memorials celebrating leaders in our past whom have helped create and establish America including the Lincoln, Jefferson, and MLK memorials. There are many entertainment parks and sporting events in DC. There are 4 professional sports teams in DC as well as many other experiences.
There are many events that occurred that became the foundation of present day America. The five most important historical events that occurred during American History were: the Renaissance; the European Reformation; the life of George Washington; concept of Manifest Destiny; and racism. These events each had a significant impact that formed the concepts that are used throughout America today; and, if they never happened or happened differently society would have been greatly affected.
During ISIS’s rise to power, there have been several key players, which have influenced the growth or decline of its movement. The center of Gravity (COG) for ISIS has been its ability to recruit volunteer foreign fighters from around to engage in its caliphate. In addition, local people from Iraqi, Syrian, and other Nations have been key players because of ISIS’s efforts promote fear and violence against their family or communities. Sunnis and Shia countries focused on regional power and security. Furthermore, the U.S. and its 70 Allies through Operation Inherent Resolve Campaign aim to defeat ISIS and promoting regional stability. The last key players are rival terrorist franchises or organizations like AQ, Taliban, Al Shabaab, and Hamas

Islamic States of Iraq and Sham ISIS, Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, al Qaeda in Iraq, Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), Islamic State, Da’ish is an active group formed c. 2014. ISIS is a terrorist group that sole purpose is pushing their beliefs on others and if their religion isn’t accepted in the appropriate way (how they expected) they then result to violence. Da’ish is the official name of the terrorist group known as ISIS, dramatically arrived and shocked many people in the West. The horrifying and violent events that have occurred since the appearance if ISIS struck fear into the hearts of people all across the world. Even though fear is an extreme emotion, the hatred that came with it is even stronger and is more Ernest.
Isis has 30,000 fighters( “Isis trail of terror”). February 2015, Isis had 20,00 more foreign fighters who had come to help( “Isis trail of terror”). Not including 150 from the United State. Isis is spreading into Syria, Iraq, and towards Baghdad tormenting the sick, and killing people till they decide to join their side ( “Isis trail of terror”).Obama said, “ Let's be clear about Isis, they have rampaged across cities beheading people in cowardly acts of violence.”( “Isis trail of terror”). Isis is growing bigger and bigger each second, and only we can stop it.
Cooperation between the United States Military and the Department of Homeland Security is essential to combat threats to America. The threat of terrorism has evolved since the Department of Homeland Security (DOH) erected in 2002. The battle that America fights against terrorist groups protects our borders more than anything else. ISIS is the most prominent terrorist organization on the world stage right now, and we’re taking the fight to them. If we are able to push back and weaken, the opposing terrorist groups, then we will limit the potential of a terrorist attack on American soil. The best way to help the ISIS
I think the most important event in U.S. History is The Revolutionary War. The Revolutionary War began with the battles of Concord and Lexington, Massachusetts On April 19, 1775. On July 4, 1776 The Americans declared independence from Britain in the Declaration of Independence which fanned the flames for the war. A huge turning point for the Americans was The Battles of Saratoga Which got other countries involved in the war to help the Americans. The last major battle of the Revolutionary War was the Battle of Yorktown where the Americans ultimately ended the war except for small battles because of unheard word of the war being over. On September 3, 1983 The Treaty of Paris was signed discussing a few agreements between America and Britain. This event is so important because it pretty much started the American country. This gave people living there a sense of nationality or pride for their country. The Revolutionary is very important to U.S. history and is pretty much what started our country.
Decrease the vulnerability of all critical structure, key resources, vital leadership and all major events that could be targeted by terrorist group.
Historical Sites: Confederation Square- A place filled with historic sites and museums. There are a lot of statues and articles on how confederation happened. Great place for people interested in history or people that are finding a place to relax
I think the very most important event in American history is the Revolutionary War. We did not agree with how England was treating us so we took action. It is the most important event because that is when America became independent from Great Britain. This war lead to the Declaration of Independence which officially said we were our own nation. Without this war we would still be a part of England and we would not be the country we have become today.
Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. So why is it encouraged now to act in the ways of one of the most evil group in our world’s history? With ISIS rising into a more powerful and structured rule, a new genocide has began to spread throughout many countries. Christians around the world are being treated less than dirt, just as Jews in Nazi occupied Germany had been. The Christians in Middle Eastern countries have been labeled with stamps, denied access to jobs, driven from their homes with no food to eat or shelter to go to, and killed in inhuman ways ("ISIS: The World's Newest Holocaust.") . Just as 90% of people in the Holocaust never spoke up and watched as millions of innocent lives were taken, people in today’s
The combination of regular military forces, unconventional forces such as terrorist or insurgent groups, and criminal elements working together towards a common goal is what makes up a hybrid threat. In today’s current political and economic arenas very few of the United States’ enemies could mount an effective conventional military campaign against us. This has caused many of our enemies to turn towards using hybrid threats and tactics in order to further their attacks. The United States must in turn use hybrid tactics in order to defeat its enemies.
The article that I have chosen to write about was the Isis Syrian artifact. The reporting was about the sinful, wickedness, evil terrorist group name Isis destroying art and 20 monuments in an ancient Syrian city of Palmyra. The topic news worthy because Isis are evil people and doing the work of the devil. Nothing that they are doing is positive it is just negative and its need be known worldwide so that we can stop them before its get worst. This important to me because I think we can learn from those entire arts piece that were destroyed because history keeps repeating itself. We could have learn and supposed to learn from them and to change. Because all art tell story of the past and from that period so we could have learn the positive
“Zarqawi an associate collaborator of Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaeda lieutenants”. These words are part of Colin Powell’s speech presented at the Security Council. These words of a Secretary of State (2001-2005) have drawn a connection between al-Qaeda and Iraq. These words have really started the disaster (Kirk). Iraq declared its independence relatively recently on October 3, 1932 ("Iraq Government"). Because the system of government as well as its politics and politicians are still developing, the country still has so many unresolved social, economic, and political issues. “The Secret History of ISIS” is a documentary that demonstrates to which consequences these problems have led, lays out the timeline of how the ISIS was created, and depicts how the American government was not able to react according to the situation quick enough. Michael Kirk, creator of “The Secret History of ISIS”, reveals the great influence of mass media, implies the importance politics, and how individuals with authority can become a disaster.
