Taliban

into the picture to save mankind from itself. This takes loads of dedication. In an article written on October 10, 2014, seventeen year old Malala Yousafzai from Pakistan wins the Nobel Peace Prize. She survived a shot to the head by members of the Taliban for sticking up for girls’ rights to an education. Afterwards, she said, “Weakness, fear, and hopelessness died.

America is a democracy, and the foundation of a democracy is the people. The people’s voice and thoughts in government is what makes this country unique. Our allowance of populism is such an important part of our democracy. Populism could have been destroyed after September 11th, and the government could have taken complete control over our nation to protect it, but what makes this decade spectacular and makes this government great is that didn’t happen. The people’s thoughts were taken even…

I would describe acts of terrorism in the 20th century as mostly attributed to decentralized groups or individuals, motivated by political or religious ideology, offering negotiable terms and using conventional weapons in pursuit of a non-global agenda. Terrorism had not taken center stage as the world had focused on two world conflicts and a subsequent cold war between two world super powers. A series of caliphates in the Middle East had occurred well into the 1920’s where boundaries soon…

The media plays a major role in our society today. It makes us look at the world in another perspective based on how they want us to see it. The media has a way of choosing what stories to report and what stories to leave out. After 9/11 the myth of invincibility is destroyed and causes America to become weak and insecure. To rebuild this image, the media starts to portray America as the strong nation it once was and that nothing like that will ever happen to them ever again. Raymond Bonner,…

Effects of Terrorism The effects on terrorism are horrifying and evil, the thought of someone killing someone else for their beliefs is absurd. The fact is we cannot deny that it does not exist; it is alive and well in the present day. Children and infants are dying because of conflict between nations. The act of war affects the worlds right and mostly of all the human rights. Terrorism is a use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims. To get what you want you have to put…

The Beginning of the End of Terrorism: Is It Justified? In the most recent years, a rise in terrorism globally has invoked a string of United States military actions in response. Though these actions have been debated by pacifists to warmongers based on personal beliefs, Aquinas’s just war theory from Summa Theologica is the most impartial and distinguished method to justify or condemn the U.S. military’s involvement. There are numerous actions taken by the United States military that were, and…

more clear symbols in the story is when Mariam signs her name on her marriage contract, as well as her own death warrant. On page 326, Hosseini writes, “After Mariam was punished with a sentence of death, she was led out to sign a document while the Taliban watched. . . . remembering the last time she signed her name to a document, twenty-seven years before at Jahil’s table.” As Mariam signs the death warrant, she is reminded of the only other time she has written her name, when she was…

Powerful. Even though Malalas constant companion is fear, she still stands for what is right. “She wrote about her dream of becoming a doctor, her fears of the terrorists, and her fierce determination to get the education she needed, no matter what the taliban did or how afraid she was.”-Malala The Powerful. Malala wanted to fight for equal rights, but she was just a small girl. Little did she know, she had the biggest weapon of all, her voice.…
