Social Revolutionary Terrorism

Decent Essays
Stephanie,
Great choice of example for social revolutionary terrorism. While all forms of terrorism is terrorizing to even fathom, I could not imagine experiencing one of these horrible events. I chose to respond to your post because I can remember when this attack took place and the campaigns that was surrounding it, including the Bring our Girls Home campaign. It touched my heart to see that innocent female children were taken from their families and endured abuse, just for others to prove a point. Although I think the execution of any crime is selfish on the part of violent offenders, however I think Terrorist are amongst the most selfish. They often target victims that are defenseless, in this case it was the young girls who were kidnapped

    According to History.com, “the death toll stood at 168 people, including 19 young children who were in the building’s day care center at the time of the blast. More than 650 other people were injured” (History.com). These were unheard of numbers at the time. No one had ever committed an act of terror on this sort of scale, especial with children involved. Many lost family members, like Edye Lucas who lost her two sons to the bombing, “ ‘ It’s been such a long ten years.…

    My limited knowledge of the event, which has evolved through access of documentaries, and news shows have provided me with a foundational understanding of the attack and the pivotal roles that the emergency services played both during the attack and in the aftermath of the event. As I review the picture, it suggests a comradery between the two firemen in the devastation and terrible loss of life. In viewing the picture and seeing the dust which is literally setting on the site, a series of questions emerged in my mind including: how can you respond to people who are willing to kill themselves in supporting terrorist beliefs? Is there any true protection from those who would murder children and women to draw attention to themselves and their cause? No, it is my belief that you can only work to minimize the damage and prepare for the worst case scenarios.…

    Throughout history, much of the modern world has been created with the aid and knowledge of past events. This knowledge of past events allows for many modern issues to be resolved, and for increased representation to begin for groups that may have been lacking delegation in previous years. Domestic terrorism is a radical reaction to oppression or a group of people that results in violence and often death. This violent form of expression not only physically harms others, but affects their lives in numerous ways, taking away their safety and acceptance in society. Some of the world’s pressing modern issues, such as domestic terrorism, were shaped by nineteenth century events such as the Civil War and The Reconstruction, as these events both…

    Her attacker only attacked her because of the fact that his mind was poisoned by the view that anyone in any headscarf or even that anyone looks Muslim is a terrorist. This poisonous belief is rammed into people’s thoughts predominantly by the media. There is absolutely no reason for anyone to blame Muslims for terrorist attacks however ignorant people are far too mindless to realize that religion does not breed terrorism or violence. Teen Ahmed Mohammed made a clock and brought it to school, only to get in trouble because his teacher automatically assumed it was a bomb. The depictions of Muslims in western media are increasingly getting worse.…

    Homer Grays English IV Ms. Perez December 30th, 2015 Terrorism is justifiable if it's to protect a country or nation but if it's just a group of people trying to create violence and destroy a nation no it can not be. It's also depends on the group of people and nation that's doing it everybody can view terrorism different than others. But as long as human beings are divided on the lines of race and religion,politicians will always use it to their advantage. in that result there would be terrorism and the world would always be a messy place and not at peace. As long as people still continue to have different beliefs, there is bound to be terrorism.…

    RADICALISATION IN MODERN SOCIETY Communities demonstrate a very significant part to radicalization in the contemporary societies. A society which compels citizens to actively engage in volunteer services in order to fulfill their civil responsibilities. However, in the urgency to respond to such expectations, sometimes intentionally or unintentionally terrorism and radicalization take the lime light. A very little empirical study has been critically evaluated to understand the reflection of such community engagement in the modern world (Crawford, 1997).…

    What this political cartoon reveals to me is that terrorism is not going away anytime soon. For every terrorist leader that is apprehended, there is another one waiting to take his place. Our reality is that the United States must continually be on guard by monitoring potential terrorists by tracking where they travel to and who they associate with. Unfortunately, we need to do this by staying within the premises of the law. The parody in the cartoon imitates the energizer bunny that it keeps going and going and the battery rolling behind it is the next terrorist that will fuel more attacks.…
