Terrorism is often committed for reasons such as religion, for instance, some members of a religious group may feel like they have been mistreated and use violence to serve justice. It could also take place due to territorial conflict, for example, if people felt that the area they live in is under threat or controlled by someone else they may use threats to try and regain control.

I chose to focus on this for three reasons. My first reason is that the setting that it took place at, which was a concert, was a place that people went to with the intent of having a good time. It only shows that terrorist attacks can happen anywhere and that they can affect people no matter what the situation is. My second reason is that many of the victims of this attack were around my age, which proves that terrorist attacks can affect people of all ages.

He affirms that terrorism is (1) violence, or the threat of violence, (2) with political goals, (3) that is carried out by a group (4) or organization, (5) that has widespread ramifications and consequences (Hoffman, 2-3).
