the meaning of terrorism


The author of "Terrorism" stephen sloan, gave a more delibrate meaning to what terrorism is. when we think "terrorism", we think of hijacking, suicide bombers, assasssinations and other forms of evil carnage. he tells us that there are many definitions for terrorism and shows us how the meaning and use of terrorism has evolved. A terrorist's main goal is to frighten people and set panic amongst a society. therefore, anybody can be a terrorist and scare people. terrorism can have a physical or emotional effect on a person or a community. The media is an example of terrorism because in every news hour there has to be some kind of warning or causion to the public, this is some form of terrorism because it alarmed the people. Terrorism can be from an individual or from a group of people who want to send a message to the people they are terrorizing, and will not stop the terror untill their needs have been accomplished. some people might think that people in terrorist groups are insane and just plain crazy, but in fact terrorists groups only choose smart, brave people that are confident to do the job right; why would you hire an idiot to do a very serious job for you?.. some people might say that al-qa'ida is the world's number one terrorist group, and some people might say that George w. Bush is the number one terrorist in the world. some people have different opinions on the views of terrorism.
