Ways To Stop Terrorism In The United States

The word ‘terrorism’ can be traced back to the French Revolution and the reign of terror committed against the population of France in the 1790s. During this time, thousands of people were killed and the general population was severely oppressed. Also, some of the first instances of terrorist tactics, such as assassination and intimidation, were witnessed in the killing of prominent officials and other opponents of the Revolution. In general, terrorists aim to incite fear in the population through pre-meditated violent acts and gain publicity as a medium in achieving their goals. Such acts include taking hostages, bombings and assassinations, all of which create fear and compliance in a victim or audience. Terrorism can be distinguished from other types of political violence through its disregard for and intentional harming of innocent civilians. Also, terrorists usually adopt a state of mind where one side is always good and any opposition is bad and deserves to be punished. As a result, terrorists will always have some supporters who share the same radical thoughts as them and thus terrorism, as a whole, will always be accepted as a legitimate use of violence. This is the reasoning behind the famous phrase by Gerald Seymour, “One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter”(QUOTE

Terrorism has been conducted throughout the world on numerous occasions. The groups that perform these actions come from multiple countries from all over the world. The United States even has some forms of terrorist groups and individuals. One of the biggest terrorist attacks was the destruction of the Twin Towers carried out by Al-Qaeda. Also recently there has been attacks in Paris and Great Britain, which were ISIS’s plan. The biggest terrorist organizations include the Taliban, Al-Qaeda and quite recently ISIS. The Taliban was founded in 1994, by Mullah Mohammed Omar, and they kill people in the name of jihad. Al-Qaeda was founded by Osama Bin Laden and also kill for jihad. Finally ISIS was founded recently hand continues to grow rapidly. They kill indiscriminately and how they see fit (Ppcorn, n.d.).

Terrorism is defined as an act of violence that is committed by an organization or a single person in order to be heard. Terrorist acts are usually based on a couple factors such as, historical grievances, foreign policy decision, poverty, and religion. Terrorism is not a new act amongst the world but something that has been around since the beginning. To understand a criminal you must think like a criminal, and understand why they committed a crime or a violent act, then you can prevent and conquer.

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.

What is terrorism? Not only U.S faces terrorism attacks. Most governments all over the world have been challenged by the issue. . Terrorism can be described as violence by a group of people or certain individuals to achieve certain goals. It’s often a destruction of another country for selfish motives.

"Terrorism has more frequently been associated with violence committed by disenfranchised groups desperately attempting to gain a shred of power or influence" (Juergensmeyer 4), but more often terrorism has been for religion. Terrorism is done to get across someone religious views to others. We are seeing more acts of terrorism on the news today. ISIS being one of the biggest terrorist groups and has attacked on multiple occasions. More then ever, people are on edge to terrorist activity. Although we have come up with new ideas and ways to prevent terrorist attacks terrorism is still growing. After 9/11, the United States changed its policy on the process to board a plan. We try different ways to stop and prevent terrorist attacks but we still find new ways terrorists are attacking us. Terrorist attacks are never acts by on person rather its an act from multiple people. Juergensymeyer talks about different attacks and different ways those attacks where handled.

A huge wake up call for the whole world was the 9/11 attacks. So many people’s lives were changed or taken away when this disaster struck in the United States. Many people are scared for life because of what happened that day and it got them to thinking more seriously about how to prevent terrorism and how to treat terrorists or suspected terrorists.

Sixteen years ago, on September eleventh, the Twin Towers and the Pentagon was attacked by terrorists. This catastrophe baffled the nation as hundreds, soon to be millions, watched the structures go up in flames. These attacks immediately caused the nation to be consumed by mass hysteria and the constant fear of another attack. Today we are still affected by this and have improved our security measures in many ways to prevent it.

Terrorism is a big threat people in the world face today. Terrorism is defined by Cindy Combs as “a synthesis of war and theater, a dramatization of the most proscribed kind of violence - that which is perpetuated on innocent victims - played before an audience in the hope of creating a mood of fear; for political purposes.” In other words an act of terrorism is not for mass casualties but rather for attention. Terrorist seek an audience. They would rather kill one person and have the whole world see it than kill a whole city and no one knew about it. Through attention they believe they can create a fear in us the people. If the people are scared the government

Terrorism is nothing new to us citizens of the United States and even though it has been used since the early times of recorded history, it can be moderately hard to restrict terrorism. Terrorism has been termed variously as both an approach and policy a crime and a holy duty a reasonable reaction to repression and an unforgivable disgrace. Obviously, a lot depends on whose point of view is being represented. Terrorism has often been an operational tactic for the weaker side in a struggle. As an unbalanced form of conflict, it confers commanding power with many of the advantages of military force at a portion of the cost. Due to the mysterious nature and small size of terrorist organizations, they often offer opponents

Fourteen Americans were killed Wednesday as they came together to celebrate the holidays. Victims were brutally murdered and injured by one of the coworkers and his wife. The killers may or may not have been terrorists, but the two were Muslim. Since 9/11 terrorists have gotten stronger and more intelligent. We Americans need to make up a plan to try to eradicate these worldwide issues. Terrorism is happening in our country. It is a vast threat to the Americans and their children.

Terrorism is a growing problem in the world today because the publicity they get for these hateful crimes.The definition of terrorism “The use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes.”(Dictionary,) So any violence or threat to people or government is defined as terrorist act against the country. The punishment of a terrorist attack is 40 to 100 years in prison and if they get out they have to pay up to a 250,000 dollar fine. Although if you commit a terrorist act you could be punished to death.

Terrorism is a destructive force that divides and dehumanizes us instead of merging us. We are all human and every single one of us is entitled to certain inalienable rights that others should respect and appreciate. I think I have highlighted that terrorism disregards the value of life and in humanity, but it also contributes to several political, social, and economic consequences. It is left to the attacked country to finance the municipal repairs after an attack has been carried out; it is left to the country to pay for the investigative and defensive forces to search and weed out suspected extremists; and it left to the country to console and avenge the victims and their families. Furthermore, terrorism is connected to other deplorable crimes such as human trafficking, rape, sexual abuse, and murder. Women, especially in Middle Eastern countries where they have no rights, and Christians are major targets. In conclusion, terrorism is an undignified and atrocious practice that should not be condoned or accepted. As human beings, we are accountable for the treatment of others and must abide by a cohesive set of laws that further all peoples. United we stand, but divided we fall. It is up to the current generation to decide how we will respond to terrorism, and nothing less than total eradication of this blight is

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.
