Terrorism is a dynamic and complex threat faced by our nation. It is hazardous to human life and material prosperity and should be addressed in a sensible manner. There is a need to focus on the persistent and evolving terrorist threats. Since the 9/11 attack, much attention has been drawn to terrorism globally. Terrorism does not only involve execution of an actual attack but it is a board spectrum that entails educating and researching, recruitment and radicalism. Prior to an actual attack, the terrorists train, plan, communicate, coordinate, finance and acquire materials and weapons. The government should do everything in their power to reduce the likelihood of terrorism on American soil. Terrorism involves the use of violence against …show more content…
Government should do everything in their power to see that we all stay clear of what God hates (terrorism).
Aside from that, Government should improve the standard of living of minority groups. There are some minority groups in the United States that feel that the government does not care about their welfare. These groups feel cheated and alienated and they result into terrorism so as to get the attention of the government. It has been identified in the National Strategy for Combating Terrorism journal that underlying conditions which include poverty, corrupt practices, religious conflict and ethnic strife are exploitation avenues for terrorism. These conditions are used by terrorists to justify their actions and expand their support. There is no justifiable cause for terrorism but at the same time, the government should try and show more care and pay more attention to the living condition of the minority group. This would instill a feeling of belonging and reduce their chances of becoming a threat to America. Improving the standard of living will reduce the likelihood of terrorism on American soil.
Furthermore, Foreign immigrants should be scrutinized thoroughly. There should be a thorough check of all immigrants. Their purpose of immigration should be verified and ascertain. Some foreigners who enter the US as immigrants or tourists turn out to be
The incident of 9/11 many are aware of were acts of terrorism. A popular conception were focused on hatred toward western culture. A more enforced law could be the solution for future attacks. Law enforcement and government efforts to protect citizens from terrorism is essential. Innocent people around the
Domestic terrorism has been a major threat in the US since the catastrophic event that took place during attack on 9/11. Following the aftermath of the terrorist attack, the US intelligence services and law enforcement agencies emphasized heavily on combating terrorism on global scale as international terrorism was views as the major threat to the public security of the US which caused the issue of domestic terrorism to be overlooked. We have seen many terrorist attacks since the attack on 9/11 that were planned and executed by individuals and groups born and raised in America. Some of those attacks include the Oklahoma City bombing, the Boston marathon bombing. There has also been increasing number of mass shooting by individuals that were identified as to be radicalized by terrorist groups abroad, the most recent mass shooting that was identified as a terrorist act was in Orlando where more than 50 people were killed (Alveraz, p.1). The cases mentioned above will be discussed in detail later in the essay. Although, American law enforcement agencies are actively conducting intelligence and operational missions to prevent international terrorism, however, the US needs to develop efficient tactics to prevent the rise of domestic terrorism. Otherwise, the United States may face a danger of the unfailing growth of domestic terrorism similar to some of the European countries; such as the United Kingdom. Consequently, law enforcement agencies should concentrate on the preclusion
Terrorist attacks seem to just be way too much of a normal thing in life these days. It never seems like the world gets a break and it’s a problem that is getting worse by the day. The attacks in our Country itself are increasing and it’s not a good thing at all. It has been a never ending battle ever since 9/11 happened. Here are my thoughts on as to what should be done to help this cause.
Terrorism is a major threat to national and global security that encompasses more than violent means by foreigners and Islamic extremists. This is mainly because most of the recent terror acts in America have been carried out by single-issue individuals and special-interest extremists with the intention of protecting the environment and animals based on their beliefs. Actually, terrorism is described as the illegitimate use of extreme violence and force with the intention of coercing a
Terrorism is a massive problem--everybody realizes that. Regardless of origin, culture, country, or political standpoint, every sane person understands that terrorism is something that is still relatively prevalent in the world, and something needs to be done about it. The problem, however, is that there is no easy solution. The United States tends to take overbearing control and responsibility for all terrorist threats, groups, and attacks, but this is simply not reasonable. Although we cannot expect every country to take initiative against terrorist threats like ISIS, sustained international coordination is necessary to effectively confront transnational terrorist groups (Shirkey). This way, the US can begin taking care of themselves and their own country, as they still have many issues that have yet to be solved. While working together is important, though, it is not the key to solving the problem. What we must do in addition is investigate and address the root causes of terrorism, and analyse them in detail in order to best combat terrorist groups at their roots.
Preventing the actions that took place on 9/11 is the top priority of the United States. The U.S.A. has taken many precautions to limit the rise of terrorism. One being more security on what a person can do. They check our bags in the airport, making sure we don’t have anything that can cause harm to the people. People have to be checked to enter events, and public spaces to give us more precaution. I believe people should be thoroughly checked in public places, vehicles, and on event where there would be many gathered. Security has to be stricter to prevent less actions of terrorism in the
Throughout historical evidence government shouldn't be limited to combat terrorism. For instance, according to amendment 14 no person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without the due process, (Amendments, 1998. Pg.40). When terrorists attack, they are looking to take away our freedom, and doing that would break amendment 14. Therefore it is necessary
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. Domestic terrorism has taken roots in many aspects of society through certain ideological groups, radicalization through media, and by acts of terror that cause immense civil unrest.
Beefing up security and manpower won’t solved everything, but we must be able to have Social Intervention programs that will ensure our youths are not seeking extremism to be a part of. With a healthy economy, our men and women would think twice to associate themselves to inflict wounds on our nation. Furthermore, no religion should be monitored because the religion has nothing to do with any hateful attacks, but we can’t turn a blind eye and watched one particular religion carrying out all these attacks. There must be tougher scrutiny in our community to ensure that we are not creating any
Since the terrorist attacks of 9/11, the United States (US) government has focused on terrorism as the biggest threat to stability and national security in the homeland. There have been controversial laws enacted which tested an individual’s Constitutional rights versus the security of the country as a whole, military engagements in foreign countries designed to stop terrorism overseas before reaching the homeland, and a number of law enforcement and government initiatives implemented to identify and investigate terrorists before they commit acts of terrorism or pursue material support activities in support of terrorism. Federal law enforcement agencies have been criticized recently for failing to predict when homegrown violent extremists
Last year while sketching through TV and trying to watch news with my father, we saw one of the most devastating and horrifying attacks in Boston Massachusetts. Recently, terrorist has made many attacks and lives of innocent people have despaired. United States has to recruit more immigrants into their armies to help preserve the safety their people, homeland security, communicate with suspects kids to comprehends sides, send more satellites to the space, revise and reviews some of the traveling among suspicious travellers and stop providing weapons to certain location that could harm the entire community in America. If we fallow all of these purposes, I believe that the horror, and the terrorism could be reduced and certain incident can be prevented.
Terrorist attacks greatly harms the country socially, economically, culturally. These events bring people of our great country to question their safety, which causes them to become less productive. When our beloved citizens question their safety, the necessary feeling of unity begins to erode. So, as a nation, we need to call every man, women, and child to be on alert for any suspicious activity. By mobilizing the masses, the government would create an anti terrorist group that would cover every hidden street and dark alley.
In order for the United States of America and its allies to live a life free of terrorist threats, they need to counter violent extremism and terrorism with swift and deliberate prevention efforts world-wide.
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, which has been around for as long as people can remember, has been on the rise for the past ten years. Terrorists usually use murdering, kidnapping, hi-jacking and bombings to achieve their political purpose. For instance, according to Wikipedia.com (2006), in 1985 816 deaths, then in 2003, more than 1,000 people died by terorist acts around the world. In recent years, terrorism seems to be at a new height and attacks are much more violent than in the past. Unfortunately, in spite of many anti-terror campaigns, projects and organizations are being created for prevention (to prevent) terrorism, the number of terrorists only is increasing. These days terrorism is all over the world.
