The Pros And Cons Of Transnational 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

Terrorism was traditionally viewed as a term ascribed to others. Prior to the events of 9/11, it was applied to foreign conflicts that were read about and briefly covered by media outlets, thus viewed as an abstract concept and someone else’s problem. Some would argue that the events of 9/11 was the fourth act of terroristic activities on American soil. The first was perpetrated on Native Americans, second would be the horrors and hells of the North American slave trade and third is lynching.

Terrorism has been around since the time of the romans and the greeks. It is a tactic used to inspire fear into others and set an example to others what the perpetrators are capable of. When the use of it was first put to action it was not a very big deal. Now in present day, technology has driven us further along with unrest sprouting more ways for it to be used in many different forms. Domestic terrorism and abroad are both equally dangerous and terrifying.

Terrorism once was a threat associated primarily with the Middle East, and was not an issue for Americans and citizens of other well developed, seemingly safe nations. This faûze was shattered on September 11, 2001 when New York City, USA was viciously attacked. Terrorism skyrocketed to the forefront of every newspaper and magazine throughout the world; suddenly, terrorism was a reality for those who had thought they were untouchable. Interestingly, terrorists are associated with more crimes than just their bombings, bio-weapons, and intimidation. For example, Afghanistan, while under Taliban control, produced 70 % of the world's illicit

As we know the world is gripped with fear in regards to the lasts terrorism acts and the terrorist group ISIS. Within this report we will discuss how terrorism tends to take a hold on some individuals and this learner will discuss the overall feeling of this subject that seems to be missed by the USA and other Nations very briefly. We will try to get a better understanding by reading these three article which are: Bloom 's 2011 article, "Bombshells: Women and Terror," from Gender Issues; Campbell and Hansen 2014 article, "Is Narco-Violence in Mexico Terrorism”? from the Bulletin of Latin American Research; and Dishman 's 2005 article, "The Leaderless Nexus: When Crime and Terror Converge," from Studies in Conflict

International terrorism is an extremely hot topic of discussion in today's political climate. Following the 9/11 attacks, Americans’ fear of terrorism has skyrocketed and remains at the top of many citizens priorities. These attacks brought terrorism to the forefront of many people's minds but what we have to remember is that this is nothing new. Through this imaginary resurgence of terrorism, many politicians utilized this fear to maliciously fuel their campaigns and hoist themselves into powerful positions in Washington. But do we really have much to realistically fear in terms of terrorism? The answer is no. The news media hypes up many terrorist attacks and makes people feel as though it is a problem that must be dealt with. In reality, Terrorists pose little-to-no risk to American citizens. Similarly, international terrorism follows along with this same idea. In Controversies in Globalization Charles Duelfer and John Mueller argue opposite sides of the international terrorism debate. I personally believe that international terrorism poses no major threat to national security, and throughout this paper I will argue as such.

The fear that comes with the word terrorism is created by the people themselves and actually lessens the true meaning of the word. After the hijacking attacks September 11, 2001, America was filled with dread. The entire country saw the pictures, the videos, the people whose loved ones had lost their lives. A tragic event like this cannot be forgotten, and it was far from it. The 9/11 attacks on the United States actually gained traction to the term terrorism. ‘The number of books with “terrorism” in their title published in the six and a half years since 2001 was more than ten times the total number of publications for the past six

According to Gilbert H. Muller in The Age of Terror, the new world has become a very dangerous place on behalf of terrorists. Around the world, people have different perspectives on foreign affairs, politics, and religion. Asking a Christian on their views of terrorism, they would agree that it is the most horrible thing to happen to anyone. Asking someone who supports terrorism, they would say that nothing is wrong with what is going on. In Phillip B. Heymann’s Terrorism, Freedom, and Security: Winning Without War, terrorism in the United States became a domestic concern for the government and citizens. Terrorist threats and attacks leave people asking questions: Who is to blame for the attacks? Why do they attack? When are they going to attack next?

Individuals that inhabit this world have been committing acts of terrorism for centuries now. However, it seems like terrorism has been increasing in these past couple of months. Tragic events have been occurring more often than usual: like the Manchester bombing attack in May that killed twenty two people, it seems like whenever you turn on the TV you always see chaos erupt in any part of the world due to terrorist attacks. An abundant amount of innocent individuals are deceased due to these horrendous attacks. Needless to say, a big question lies. Is there any way to eliminate terrorism for good?

Individuals that inhabited this world have been committing acts of terrorism for centuries on end, and it’s been reported that terrorist organizations have been losing territory in the middle east. However, it seems like terrorism has been sharply increasing in these past couple of months. Tragic events are occurring more often than usual: like the Manchester bombing attack that killed twenty two people in May: “Children were among the 22 people killed in a suicide attack after an Ariana Grande concert at Britain's Manchester Arena, police confirmed” (Macguire, Eoghan). Currently, it seems like whenever you turn on the TV, you always see chaos erupt in any part of the world due to terrorist attacks. It’s hard to envision why these terrorist attacks have been occurring recently. Horrendous terrorist attacks have killed an abundant amount of innocent individuals. Needless to say, a big danger still lies in our world. In response, a big question lies that many people have been asking. Is there any way, as an advancing society, to eliminate terrorism for good by using features such as technology, political leaders, weapons, and borders in the future?

The growing scope and complexity of international terrorism, particularly the threat to diplomats and diplomatic facilities, has caused widespread concern among members of the international community and prompted a lively debate on the measures appropriate for their protection. Consideration of this matter, however, has been greatly complicated not only by differing interpretations of the nature of terrorism but by the involvement of states themselves in terrorist activities.

Terrorism is a serious problem in today's society and there is plenty of proof of attacks in places all around the world. In 2014 over 32000 people died from terrorism and terrorism costs the global economy billions of dollars every single year. Factoring in all financial losses from the attacks on 9/11 equals to about 75 billion dollars in today's money and its impacts continue to this day, over 15 years later. Terrorists are becoming more organized in large groups such as ISIS who even managed to take over parts of different countries and adulterate them. Islamic terrorism is a serious problem in Islam and we must root out the bad in it because the bad in it will only grow unless we put a stop to terrorism and soon.

First responders around the United States risk their lives every day so that other Americans could live out their lives with some definition of safety, security, and harmony. However, in recent decades, it has been more apparent that first responders are involved in much more than the risks they take at their day to day shift-work jobs. Countering a terrorist attack involves man hours and resources that first responders often cannot provide in order to efficiently do their job. Some first responders even risk the chances of themselves and their family becoming a target from intelligence gathering on possible terrorist subjects. When terror strikes on United States soil, officers, firefighters, paramedics, and other first responders put their lives on hold for those involved in the attack. At times, these first responders work 24 hours a day until they are ordered off the front lines by their superiors. The best way of reducing those risks taken by first responders is by studying what is on the forefront of issues

Terrorism is a word that holds an awful lot of weight in the modern world and often brings to mind senseless acts of violence created by a handful of irrational people of the society. Terrorism however, is a military strategy that brings with itself many advantages, and has been used to gain independence from oppressive nations on multiple occasions. Terrorism is often used when two forces are unevenly matched in war. When nations are placed between a rock and a hard place even the most rational people will result to terrorist tactics. By terrorism, this is meaning non-state actors that are using non-traditional guerilla warfare tactics as military aid in a time of conflict. The military conflict that occurred in The Battle of Algiers, was just that kind of terrorism. The movie showed terrorism benefiting the Algerians, and begged the audience members to ask the question of who was really in the right.
