It was a pleasure to read the book Acts Of Faith. I found it to be a very well written, and easy to understand. The author’s main point is to emphasize the importance of interreligious dialogue, especially among youth. The author, Eboo Patel, writes this book as an autobiography starting when he was a child, and continuing until he is about thirty, and has founded the Interfaith Youth Core (IFYC), biased in Chicago. He begins the book by illustrating the London bombings that occurred on July 7,…

The recent terrorist attack on Paris was devastating and brutal, killing more than hundred and injuring hundreds of people. This all happened on Friday evening on November 13,2015 in Paris, France.

Mistaken Identity: The Role of Media on Terrorism As America becomes involved in the war against terrorism, Americans must not disregard the terror inflicted to each other in the home country. “Terrorism” can be defined as any violent or threatening action in order to influence political ideas by using the factor of fear to coerce the desired result.

Since September 11th the United States has taken a very different look at security vs privacy. This can be seen through changes not only in surveillance but also in plane security. Making people give up more privacy for increased security. As a society we are still debating on what we value more, security or privacy. Likewise in surveillance, a similar change has happened, more surveillance through all types of mediums are now taking place. This is done to thwart terrorist attacks against…

In Lord of the Flies by William Golding, the boys’ actions are a manifestation of the inner savagery of an individual that surfaces when the society that they belong to has fallen. This is shown on page 181 through Jack’s violence towards Ralph after Piggy’s death. “The rock struck Piggy a glancing blow from chin to knee; the conch exploded into a thousand white fragments and ceased to exist. Viciously, with full intention, he hurled his spear at Ralph”(181). Jack expresses antagonism towards…

Torturing suspects or criminals is a very hot issue in the United States. There are many arguments between should the US officials torture terrorists when interrogating them. Michael Levin says he agrees on torturing terrorists for information in his essay, “The Case for Torture”. He addresses his arguments by giving a few hypothetical scenarios of terrorist attacks. One of the examples is, when there is an atomic bomb in Manhattan which is going to explode very soon, the US got the guy who…

Technically called “unmanned aerial vehicles” (UAVs) drones are aircraft unassisted by pilots, encompassing everything from military vehicles to just plain use for recreation. Although having been in use for…

The Cold War and the current War on Terror have some similarities but many more differences. According to John Tirman professor MIT Center for International studies (par.2) “Mr. Bush signaled these comparisons in his speech before Congress nine days after the attacks, when he said the terrorists “follow in the path of fascism, and Nazism, and totalitarianism. And they will follow that path all the way, to where it ends: in history’s unmarked grave of discarded lies.” The Cold War was a contest…

With militia’s dramatic resurgence into American society, it’s no opinion that negative stereotypes have become affiliated with the group regardless of how they perceive themselves. Since Obama’s presidency, “the number of radical hate groups and militias have exploded in reaction to the changing makeup of America” (Hate Groups Grow as Racial Tipping Point Changes Demographics) allowing the perception to rise that most members are anti-Semitic towards racial groups. In fact, the NAACP released a…
