Terrorism is an act that uses violence and intimidation for political purpose. Terrorism has affected the very essence of democratic freedom. The bigger problem lies in the execution of terror. This act of violence has affected the world. The terrorists are affecting the different levels of our life.
Some problems of terrorism is first, internationally, the threat of hijacking of airplane, bombing of embassies and the worse one , the attack on World Trade Center last September 11. Secondly, nationally, the treat of bombing in the different government offices and business establishments like the Glorietta mall bombing. This bombing in Ayala, Makati created a lot of controversy . There were two groups of ideas regarding the issue: One group said that the incident was a terrorist attack . The other group said that it was caused by the gas leak in the basement. Each group denied the other. And lastly, locally, the threat of our person when we are held-up while going about in our daily routine.
Terrorism as a problem is caused by differentiated reasons such as differences political belief and religion. For example the religion Islam , the Muslims followed the belief about Jihad, a war against evil. To the Muslims, Americans and what they do are devils, that is why Muslims declared war with the Americans. To the Muslims, the Americans are devils and therefore a jihad or holy war must be declared against them. And poverty is another root cause of terrorism. For example, poor people do bad things and become terrorists because they are forced to survive. And lastly, one of the causes is political and demographic. At the moment, there is a controversy in Mindanao. The MILF, who are Muslims are demanding that they should be given by the Arroyo government complete freedom and independence. But the present government is not incline to give in such demand.
Terrorism is greatly affecting the very fiber of human life , that is why we are in constant fear because of terrorism. If we are going to travel by air, we are in fear of hijackers. We are in constant fear of going to crowded places as they are the usual target of terrorists.Politically, decision making in the government is very much affected by terrorism. Today, there is a specific government agency that deals with terrorism, whether international, national, or local. Economically, the world’s economy went down when the world trade center was attacked by the terrorists.
These are the five major effects of terrorism in general, people do not feel safe especiallywhen they are traveling. There is always a constant fear of being terrorized by terrorists. The government is in constant alert because of the threat or terrorism. The government should be focused on the welfare of the people but instead the government is focused on terrorism.
Today, world business is always on hold because of the uncertainty affected by terrorism. Socially, people are becoming indifferent with the Muslims which is not appropriate. Our daily life is always on the verge of uncertainty as the news of terror is always on the radio and newspaper.Solutions to the problem of terrorism is, internationally, there are very strict laws and rules on travelling. No one is allowed to bring in their hand carry anything that can be used as a means to make bombs. Nationally, there is very strict regulation in entering any business establishments by checking our bags or anything we are bring in inside. Locally, no one is allowed to carry any deadly weapons in our travelling.I believed that terrorism as a problem should be solved because it poses danger to everybody.
Terrorism should end so that people will feel at ease in their travels, and it should be solved so that business will prosper and will make our economy more stable and progressive.

What is missing here is your proposed solutions toward terrorism or the acts made against terrorism. And you must avoid plagiarizing. It is the most sensitive rule in writing even a blog or an essay. Do not plagiarize, you must acknowledge the person/people where you got some of the lines here in your blog. But your article is good, you must add up some requirements. That's all :-)
I agree with cheenkee, you should have wrote your proposed solutions towards terrorism. Also you should never plagiarize other peoples work, its ok if you acknowledge their names or something. But you have a good article. Keep up the good work!! dont plagiarize!!!
your article is good. you define and elaborate well the effects of terrorism but what lacks here is the attempted solutions and your own solutions as well.
yes. don't plagiarize. it's better if your paragraph is all original.
You did mention about the problem being solved, but you did not propose how. Completeness is always important..
You've done a great job in describing the effects and the bad sides of terrorism. In general, your description of terrorism is enough. But you didn't write anything about what you think is the best solution for solving terrorism.
You might also want to double check your grammar. Sometimes your sentences are just confusing.
good luck
On your solutions, it may be easier said than done. And also, we already implemented these ways to prevent terrorism. Another thing, the grammar and how the words are spelled are not clear. But overall, it's a decent work.
Hanie,
You have attempted to gather some relevant information on terrorism and that is a good place to start. When you discuss problems of terrorism for example, the Glorietta bombing, those who might read your paper and are not knowledgeable of this might ask...What happened? You might as well put in some relevant details of this event or you can enclose in parenthesis a possible source where information can be found.
Please do the same when you talk about the MILF or the Jihad / Holy War for the Muslims.
Use conjunctions in larger chunk of sentences NOT as beginning words in new sentences.
Go over your spelling...For example, is it "possess" in your last paragraph or did you mean 'pose'?
