Terrorism

Terrorism can be defined as criminal act that influences an audience beyond the immediate victim. The strategy of terrorists is to commit acts of violence that draws attention of the local populace, the government, and the world to their cause. It can also be define as giving terror to the people.

These are some examples of Acts of Terrorism and their effects. One of them is bombing; it is the most common type of terrorist attack in the world. One effect of this is that many of the government properties are being bombed. Another example is kidnapping and hostage taking; this kind of crime is common here in our country by the Abu-Sayyaf and the MILF. Because of this crime tourists coming to our country became less. If there are no tourists there are no investments. Lastly, is the merciless killing that is usually done in different communities especially in Mindanao. One of its effects is that the people living in Mindanao became afraid of the terrorist. They became very aware of the terrorists. They learn how to defend them selves in able to survive.

In general, terrorism has occurred throughout history, but today the world is experiencing a global rebirth of attacks. Today, it no longer affects only small societies, such as isolated third world countries who fell victim to regular terrorist attacks, but the whole world is becoming more familiar with Arab and Muslim names. Many innocent people around the world are beaten, enslaved and killed by these terrorists. The terrorist violence that is on the rise today has informed citizen all over the world about different types of terrorism, the Nation’s have been doing what they can to eliminate terrorism. We need to eliminate terrorism so that we can have world peace. So that people can live freely without the fear of being beaten, enslaved or even killed by the terrorist. Also, the governments will be more focused on the problems in the society. If there is no terrorism our world will be more productive and happy.

In the given acts of terrorism here are some of the solutions the government has done. In bombing, the government put more securities in different public places to inspect the bags of the people. This tactic is good because they can detect if q person has a deadly weapon in their bag. This can prevent bombings in malls and public places. But in this kind of inspection sometimes there are people who are not inspected. Another solution in this problem is that the government became more focused on the places where the terrorists might attack. They put many soldiers and bomb sniffing dogs to different public places. In kidnapping and hostage takings, the government tries to communicate with the terrorists and try to know what they want in able to get the hostages from them. Another solution the government has done is they put many soldiers in isolated places where the terrorists are active in kidnapping and hostage takings. Last is merciless killing, actually this crime is usually in communities the government doesn’t do anything about this. They just keep it to themselves so that people may not be afraid.

For me, to defeat terrorism we must give them, the terrorist, hope, redirect them away from disenfranchisement, empower them, we must correct the unjust and illegal acts, and focus their hate towards successful methods of making changes. To do any of this we must know and understand what they have been through, and see why they view this as their only course of action. We must find a successful method for them to impact us, to influence us, to get changes, without terrorism.
