The Pros And Cons Of Terrorism

In today’s society domestic terrorism is one of the biggest threats to the United States. Some of these recent terrorist attacks include. Domestic Terrorism is when U.S. citizens carry out terrorist acts against other U.S. residents or groups.Many people think that the biggest threat of terrorism to the U.S. is from a foreign country, when in fact, the bigger threat is closer to home. Domestic terrorism is becoming a bigger threat to the U.S. than international terrorism and we need to find a way to prevent these attacks.

The word “ terrorism” is used a lot in the world nowadays. The definition of a terrorist is someone who uses intentionally indiscriminate violence as a means to create terror or fear, in order to achieve a political, religious, or ideological aim. Some example of what we have establish as terror attacks are the Twin Towers in New York on the 11 of september 2001 or the Paris attack on november the 13 2015. The attacks were done by two different groups of terrorists, but what people tend to ignore is that these terrorist groups did not come to life from the unknown. What people tend to ignore or maybe just don’t understand or don’t know is that in this case, Al Qaeda was a creation of the United States of America, a country which was colossally

After all, it is not as if right-wing extremism disappeared after September 11. The history of right-wing extremism from 1995 to the present day has been one of a steady stream of plots, conspiracies, terrorist acts, and hate crimes. The recent history of extremist violence in the United States has in most respects been dominated by right-wing extremists.

Have you ever wondered why there are so many terrorist attacks in the United States? Why did the United States spends so much money on the military? This all happens due to a reason that the United States keep interfering into others countries’ problems, but most of the time nothing come out of it. Sometimes, the United States even make the problem become even worse. Just like the war in Iraq. The decisions made by the Presidents cause the problem getting worse day by day. Helping people out is a good thing, however, we should think about if that person need help or not. Which out the intervene of the United States, Iraq will not be in a situation like today. The United States will be less in debt and more money to fund other programs. There are more negative effects than positive effects when the United States meddles into others countries’ problems, so the United States should just ignore and stop worrying about those countries.

In America we have a lot of domestic terrorism. Domestic terrorism didn’t become a problem until the 9/11 terror attacks on September 11 2001 in New York City when planes were hijacked hit the buildings and killed over 3,000 people. Since then there have been over 10 major terror attacks in the United States. Five of which have been been the most effective to the United States the five are Pulse nightclub shooting, the two church shootings, Las Vegas massacre, San Bernardino California shooting. Domestic terrorism started in New York when a bomb exploded on Wall Street in the financial district in the 1950s and 1960s. The pros to domestic terrorism is that it makes our country stronger and knows what to

Terrorism has had a negative effect on the world. In the United States the role of terrorism is steadily a growing, creating new issues and situations which the United States government must battle. The department of Home land security has an active and significant role on ensuring the security and safety of the United States of America. Acts of terrorism differs in every region, what one might consider terrorism the other might not. Terrorism comes in several forms such as domestic, international, bioterrorism and cyber terrorism. Every law enforcement agencies has a different approach to terrorism. Strategies for battling terrorism in multicultural communities are different compared to communities inhabited by a less diversified group.

Factors like social grievances, economic woes and other similarities, give rise to violent extremist groups. Areas with lawlessness and desperation cause people to argue and bring terror (Does Terrorism,178). Extremist groups are often welcomed in such places because they may offer more of basic securities than the state itself. On the other hand, terrorism could be a weapon of the strong, not for the weak. Stronger states are able to disguise it as a legitimate violence

“It's not frightening to me," he told Williams. "If I have one bullet left, I'll take my own life before that happens. I'm not gonna get put on YouTube by ISIS, and let them put me on my knees and cut my head off for publicity."(Jeremy).We as Americans have seen innumerable things that are disturbing and incomprehensible but what we are seeing coming from ISIS is far from cruel. They have taken a woman hostage made them wives and even killed children who denied to convert to Muslim, they have assassinated husbands, brothers and fathers all in front of their families with no remorse. ISIS posted these videos so Americans could fear for their lives or join ISIS in their attacks. Although Americans are helping to fight against ISIS we also have

The New York Times says that the fear of terrorism in the United States is at levels that have not been seen since the infamous September 11, 2001. This poll comes after the attacks in Jakarta, Paris, and San Bernardino. Terrorism has ties all the way back to the 11th century with Al-Hashshashin. A terrorist organization must fall into two categories in order to be considered a transnational terrorist group: “involves groups or individuals whose terrorist activities cross international borders and targeted countries that are not represented in the make-up of the group” (Casserleigh, PP 4). With growing technology, working in favor of the terrorists, transnational terrorism has been able to grow into what is it today. Terrorism has been defined

Each of the articles address warfare against counterterrorism and counterinsurgency in many different ways, and they each address a different part of the problem. The most general piece is that of Cronin’s, who argues that the counterterrorism and counterinsurgency strategies used for Al-Qaeda, particularly drones, will not work for ISIS because they are similar but not the same. I will discuss this piece first, as it can apply to the other pieces.

“Our war on terror begins with Al- Qaida, but it does not end there, It will not end end until every terrorist group of global reach has been found, stopped, and defeated.” - President George W. Bush after 9/11. After the attack on the twin towers the Bush Administration and some of the United States’ allies formed an organization that fought against terrorism, known as the war on terror. The idea of the war on terror, that one day terrorism would be eliminated entirely, is a great idea but we, as a nation, should have went about it differently. The war on terror has a negative influence on the world as demonstrated by the increase in racial profiling, unethical use of torture, and the decrease of privacy.

State sponsored terrorism literally implies a countries’ use or assistance of terrorism against another country or against it is own human beings. Since terrorism has basically become a global phenomenon over the long history, the expression ‘state-sponsored terrorism’ is now commonly used to describe a state’s support of international terrorism. Country -sponsored terrorism should not be confused with local state terrorism. When governments supplies, training, and other forms of help to non-state terrorist organizations. One of the most valuable sorts of this support is the provision of safe place or physical basing for the terrorists' organization. Also, another important service a state sponsor can supply is false documentation, not only

Global terrorism is a threat to global peace and security which has now surpassed borders of nations and delved into culture, religion and personal beliefs to encapsulate the entire world with terror. The world has witnessed wars from time immemorial with the military of various nations engaging with each other to either acquire or retain a certain amount of power to establish their dominance over the world. The need to become a “Superpower” exists within every nation which leads them to commit acts of violence on other nations through armed conflicts. Thus, to limit this age-old practice of war, The Geneva Conventions and The Hague Conventions which are aspects of International Humanitarian Law determined the law of war and the ways in which war can be limited. Section III of The Hague Convention of 1907 hostilities need to be preceded with a well-reasoned declaration of war. Article 2 of The United Nations Charter of 1945 sought to curtail the right of member states to declare war. Such limitations were indeed effective in stopping frequent wars from occurring across the world but it leads to something even more horrendous than war itself that is ‘state sponsored terrorism.’ It is a type of covert operation of war by countries to acquire their political goals without violating any principles of international law through non-state actors acting for the state. The United States Department of State recognised Iran, Sudan, Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Saudi

Imagine this specific scenario for a moment, a young boy is walking on a sidewalk with his mother on their way to the grocery store. A car quickly swerves and slams into both the boy and his mother. The boy is killed and his mother has to deal and mourn the loss of her only child for the rest of her life. Put yourself in the mother's shoes. As we all know, terrorism and massive acts of violence are considerable threats in our society today, and so are cars. Just like the epidemic of mass shootings is a gun problem, the thousands of people slaughtered by cars as they walk our modern-day streets every year is a car problem.

Terrorism can include an act of violence or threats of violence in an attempt to intimidate and control their victims. A person is more likely to become a victim of a terroist if the person is often included in large crowds (schools, malls, concerts, etc). Additionally, a person who does not do their research of terror warnings before traveling can also face higher victimization rates. Wearing particular clothing items that easily identifies a person’s religion can also increase one’s chance of becoming a victim because most terrorist attacks do target certain religions.
