Terrorism

Terrorism is standardized use of terror through the use of force. There is no definite or precise definition for terrorism as to there are people who may define it as an act of unlawful war and violence or an act which tends to bring fear to people.

September 11 attack, well known as 9/11, is the best example of a terrorism attack. According to them, it was a series of coordinated suicide attack which that morning, nineteen Islamic terrorists associated with al-Qaeda, hijacked four airplanes. The Islamic terrorists crashed two of the airplanes into the twin towers of the World Trade Center, killing everyone on board and those working in that building. After a few hours, the building collapsed. The third airplane was crashed into the Pentagon, while the other was crashed into a field near Shanksville. It was said that no survivor was found during the tragic attack. This event brought so much fear into the hearts of the people hijacked, those people working at the building and mostly, those people who witnessed every attack.

Terrorism is born out of different ideals from different people regardless of race. It is often met by authorities as defense. More so at times, war. As the democratic presumptive nominee Barack Obama says, he firmly believes that solutions can be met by sitting down and talking.

It was short but straight to the point. But the article focused more on giving an example about a terrorist attack.

the topic was vague and general...it needs to follow the format in which the first paragraph must have the introduction,the second paragraph must contain the causes of the problem in the international,local,international level,third paragraph must contain the proposed solutions..

Sorry to say this but I think your work is still incomplete. You haven't written anything about any solutions that was undertaken to prevent terrorism neither you have written any of your proposed solution. There is still a lot work that needs to be done in this paper.

But I would say that your definition of terrorism is quite correct.

good luck with the rest.

It contained a few grammatical errors but none of them serious enough to warrant a major deduction. It focused solely on the 9-11 and the solution was not stressed enough.

This is short so I read it too. But for what Barack Obama says is a good solution. It's short but does explain everything.

Pol fojas said...

The solution part was with mr.Obama you guys. Its not practically her idea, but she does agree with him.

C'mon, we're supposed to focus on the ideas, and read between the lines. Only then can we realize, that it does't really require a hell lot of pages just to project a problem, present an idea, and propose a solution.

Take a second look at it, read it, maybe you'll get what i'm saying.

It was short but obviously heartfelt. I agree that we should look into other ways to solve this problem.

Cheenkee said...

What causes terrorism? you concentrated in the 9/11 but what,s behind that tragedy? expand more in the effects of 9/11 in the society.

XEOHE said...

The order in which you wrote your article was sort of befuddling. But it was also straight to the point and very heartfelt.

The essay may be short, but it's very good. You concentrated on one example of terrorism which is the "9/11" attack. 9/11, I believe, is the best example of terrorism. Facts about the incident are well presented. However, in my personal opinion, solutions cannot be met by sitting down and talking. We should have used this method in the past if it works.

biboy verzosa said...

I agree on what Barrack Obama said, but i don't think it will work.

You should have added more issues and solutions. Your introduction is quite short and you focused on one issue only which is 9/11. But details are well presented.

Pat,

There are other perspectives on terrorism not just the 9/11 attack also, there are more solutions not just negotiation. You need to have a middle ground paragraph where you discuss some solutions undertaken and judge whether they were effective or not, then in your final paragraph, you need to show some understanding of what you written by proposing a plan of action not just quoting from others. I expect to see these changes in your revised version.

sars said...

you mainly focused on the 9/11 attacks, i think you could still expound your work.

you should have written something about your own solution.

QueenieLove said...

i think you just said what happend in the 9/11 attack. i didnt see any root causes for this and solutions for the problem.
