TERRORism ...

 

  • Well we as a generation should know this word quite well, we have grown up in a time (recently) as 911 in which terrorism has affected our lives.

 

  • The term is used to describe violence or other harmful acts committed (or threatened) against civilians.  Most definitions of terrorism include only those acts which are intended to create fear or "terror", are perpetrated for an ideological goal (as opposed to a "madman" attack), and deliberately target "non-combatants".

 

  • It is a form of unconventional warfare, terrorism is sometimes used when attempting to force political change by: convincing a government or population to agree to demands to avoid future harm or fear of harm, destabilization of an existing government, motivating a disgruntled population to join an uprising, escalating a conflict in the hopes of disrupting the status quo, expressing the severity of a grievance, or drawing attention to a neglected cause.
