Terrorism : Terrorism And The Practice Of Terrorism

Ever since 9/11 when both World Trade Center buildings were attacked by an Islamic Group, attacks by Islamic Terrorist on U.S. soil have been less of a threat than Domestic Terrorists. Domestic Terrorism has been shown these passed for years but yet again most of these cases have not been classified as acts of Domestic Terrorism they most likely fall into the category. Now the definition of Domestic Terrorism is basically "the committing of terrorist acts in the perpetrator 's own country against their fellow citizens". Now personally I don 't know how our government is working with these popular cases like Charlottesville, Las Vegas, and a new that just happened recently actually two but I 'll just say one, the New York attack that

I was six months old when the Nine-Eleven terrorist attacks destroyed the World Trade Center. Personally, I don’t remember the day, but I know that many adults remember the exact situation they were in when they heard the news. Nine-Eleven opened the eyes of the United States regarding the horrors of terrorism and how devastating it can be to a country. Terrorism is one of the biggest problems facing Western countries at the moment that seems to have no easy solution. Terrorism sees a group trying to provoke change in a government or society with radical methods. Terrorism is not, however, an isolated incident of violence that has no connection to any radical organizations. The confusion about the merits of terrorism and general violence have created a tension in society that bring up unjust prejudices, specifically dealing with immigrants from the Middle East.

September 11, 2001 is a day many will not forget. This is one of the deadliest terrorist attacks on U.S. soil, in U.S. history. The Islamic extremists group, al Qaeda led by Osama bin Laden, had hijacked four planes two of which had crashed into World Trade Center, one in the Pentagon, and the other in an open field in Pennsylvania. These attacks left many people dead and the U.S. in a state of chaos. After September 11, 2001 many were affected by the lives loss, the stock market being closed for several days, wars began over seas, the Department of Homeland Security was created, airport security became more stringent, and families weren 't able to get financial aid.

The study of terrorism and the terrorist is not something belonging to any particular discipline. What does forensic psychology have to offer?

With every terrorist attack executed, people like to blame the terrorists for attacking and causing fear and death in the world. Yes, those terrorists hold responsibility for those deaths, but the common people of the world in addition to the leaders of the world, also hold responsibility for allowing terrorism to be successful and continue. Terrorists gain power through the common, innocent people they attack. How the world responds to terrorist attacks determines whether or not terrorism will cease. The common people’s response to terrorism, the interest of the state, and the media’s role in terrorism all aide to terrorism’s success and its continuation in the future.

Have you ever had a fear for your family, your town, your country, or your world. How about the fear to have everything taken from you, destroyed, and not caring if it has hurt you or not? What about your fear and pain is, and can be someone else’s happiness? The fear of you being terrorized? That is terrorism. Someone else bringing fear and terrorizing you. That is a terrorist’s goal. Terrorism is common and is very difficult to stop. The government promises protection for the people, and their home, but they can not give that protection if they can not stop terrorism. Terrorism needs to stop to protect the live of the people, and their country.

Terrorism is the use of violence to gain political aims. It is a rebellion against a government. Terrorism is many things, and there are many definitions as this word is steadily evolving, and there is not one specific one that matches it correctly. Counterterrorism is a tactic intended to prevent terrorism. Counter-terrorism combines the practice, military tactics, techniques, and plan that government, military, law enforcement, business, and intelligence agencies use to combat or prevent terrorism. The word terrorism is loaded with politically explosive meanings and the manner in which it is defined can have consequences.

Terrorism can have many different meanings or definitions to different individuals but in the end terrorism is the threat and use of physical and physiological force by individuals or groups who want to receive strategic and political gain. The FBI’s definition comes from the Code of Federal Regulations which states that, “The unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives." (Href, Mailto, Oliver, & Libaw, 2011) Terrorists want to put fear in the citizens and government that they are targeting. The more fear communities and the government have, the more successful terrorists will judge their attacks. (Newman & Clarke, 2007) The goals of terrorists is to inflict causalities, create fear, and to draw media attention. (Newman & Clarke, 2007) Terrorism acts are thought to be large, astonishing events but terrorism comes in many different forms. Some different forms consist of car bombing, assassinations, kidnapping, hijacking of an airline, train or ship, chemical or biological attacks, suicide bombings, and many more. (Newman & Clarke, 2007) With all of these unique ways that terrorist attacks can materialize first responders are presented with many risks. These risks consist of putting their own life in danger, not having full knowledge and information of the situation before being in the situation themselves, not having the

Terrorism is very scary, especially when it happens close to home and not some faraway place.

Fox News is not a credible source for viewers to watch because they racial profile and scrutinize minority groups including Muslims. When a white men commit an act of terror, why are they are never called terrorist? Why does the word terrorist only apply to Muslims? Who can be a terrorist? Is labeling something an act of terrorism only applied to someone who commits an act of terror? Or is it only directed towards a specific group of people such as Muslims or brown people who “look” Muslim? According to Lydia O’Connor, Muslims have faced discrimination and hate for their identity since the tragic 9/11 terrorist attack. Muslims are specifically targeted because of how the media such as Fox News defines “terrorists”. In America, Fox News is one of the largest cable channels in mainstream media. Millions of viewers are exposed to the redefinition and reframing of terrorism and the labeling of the word terrorist. Fox News lack of accountability for their misuse of the word terrorist consequentially contributes to the bias label only applied to Muslims and most brown individuals. Nearly sixteen years later, Islamophobia has only progressed and the word “terrorist” became a word that is only applicable to people of a particular racial or religious identity. The word terrorist is only used to identify alleged Muslim terrorist not all individuals who commit acts of terror. The term terrorism has become politicized because it has inspired political action, laws, and

Terrorism narration may be as old as human evolution and political activities, where some superior entities invaded, terrorized and often captured and sold their opponents into slavery if their request were not met by the other person, group, or tribe (Mickolus, & Simmons, 2014). Terrorism has no generally acceptable definition because of the evolving nature and wider spectrum and scope which make it difficult to classify or not to categorize as acts of terrorism. It was defined by some experts to involves the use of aggression intended to threaten, coerce, and persuade individuals, government, and organization; which often achieved through hijacking, kidnapping, killing, or a mixture of all, in order to

Most of the countries around the world call the terrorism a common enemy, but there is not a common definition of terrorism. There is not any significant unified goal and objective among the states against them, but they have their collective and shared goals. They are against the peace, stability, and development and they want to kill, destroy and spread fear. They misuse and misinterprets any faith in their favor and they try to mix terrorism with the religious ideology. And they support each other globally for these shared goals, but we should ask ourselves, what do we do to defend ourselves and defeat terrorism?

The United Nations does not have a standard definition of terrorism. In 1994, the UN General Assembly condemned terrorism, as “criminal acts intended or calculated to provoke a state of terror in the general public, a group of persons or particular persons for political purposes are in any circumstance unjustifiable…” Nearly a decade later, UN Security Council Resolution 1566 (2004), defined terrorism as “criminal acts, including against civilians, committed with the intent to cause death or serious bodily injury, or taking of hostages with the purpose to provoke a state of terror in the general public.”

Terrorism is not a new issue in today’s world. It has been an issue for centuries, and even in the ancient world. The military strategy “total war” can be seen as terrorism because it struck fear in the hearts in the next town before the army arrived. According to the United States Code and the FBI website, terrorism is split in our law into three types. 18 U.S.C. § 2331 defines two types of terrorism, international and domestic terrorism.

We are living in a world where there are so many global threats around us. World is not like heaven. We need to face many problems in our life. We have some global risk also. This year has been a notably rough year. Some of the worst threats make our people more worried. Many researchers and writers are writing about the biggest threats of the world. Several reports are also made to understand the recent global threats.
