Radicalization Leads To Home-Grown Terrorism

Just as there is no uniform consensus regarding the definition of terrorism, the same issue also applies to the statistics regarding de-radicalization and disengaging of terrorists from their groups.

Although similarities to other types of group-based crime have been attempted, the difference lies within the motivations of terror groups. Other types of criminal groups arise

Terrorism has had a profound affect on the world, as it has inspired fear and despair in the hearts of millions of people. Specifically in the United States, where in certain circumstances U.S. citizens will carry out acts of terror to further their own cause.

For many less developed countries, globalization has leveled the playing field so that their economies can compete with the larger, more developed ones such as the United States and other large western economies. For instance, technical engineers in India and China are now just as qualified as engineers in America, but at half the cost. The once large and prosperous service sector in the United States
