Well, terrorism is the unlawful act done by a group of people targeting personal, social, religious, and political matters. Terrorism is mostly used to threaten public government. Also, a group of people who support terrorism are known as terrorists (see appendix A). People who are in terrorist groups use…
In this new period of terrorism the problem of labeling the enemy comes into play when governmental bodies need to create counterterrorism policies. The labeling issue is typically faced with a challenge that is dependent on how a suspect’s status is classified. The methods in which classifications are applied to suspected terrorists can be a conflict-ridden issue. Martin (2014) points out that during the war on terrorism classifications of suspects “is a central legal, political, and security…
How the Past Lives in the Present Transformative events can potentially impact and change one’s life indefinitely. On September 11, 2001, the United States of America encountered a life-changing occurrence which resulted in lasting effects on the lives of its citizens: a terrorist attack. The term “terrorist attack” remained weak to America until its direct contact with the nation occurred. The effects of events on 9/11 remain current today in that American Muslims suffer from inequality,…

It is apparent that historical, societal, and religious pressures have combined to make a toxic environment for Muslim-Americans post 9/11. But after doing research and connecting the dots, the idea that anti-Semitism and Islamophobia can be compared is impossible to prove because they cannot be equated. Though both groups have shared similar experiences with discrimination and bigotry, the course of each group’s journey toward acceptance in America. After 9/11, the Muslim-American experience…

In every instance of terrorism, the tactics of fear and intimidation are always utilized (Schmallenger & Hall, 2014, p. 402). Terrorist organizations look for large areas…
Apple vs. FBI, were talking here about people’s secure privacy vs. nation’s security in terrorism. In this controversy, it’s tough making a decision because both are fighting for their reasonable decisions for overall the nation. However, Apple’s product isn’t just centered here is USA, but worldwide, to some degree this should be put into perspective to where this issue is going towards. Personally, I believe that the FBI is trying to go beyond with this case and in depth to unfold more issues…

The American people believed that if they focused on observing, better yet “oppressing”, Muslims then they could prevent another terrorist attack.
