3. 3. TYPES OF TERRORISM National Terrorism involves groups whose terrorist activities are directed at elements of our government without foreign involvement. Oklahoma City bombing is a primary example
4. 4. TYPES OF TERRORISM(CON.) International terrorism involves groups whose terrorist activities are foreign-based and/or directed by countries or groups outside the United States. Sept. 11 is an example of International Terrorism.
5. 5. CAUSES OF TERRORISM Social and political injustice The belief that violence or its threat will be effective Religious Illiteracy Injustice
6. 6. CAUSES OF TERRORISM • Social and political injustice: People choose terrorism when they are trying to right what they perceive to be a social or political or historical wrong—when they have been stripped of their land or rights, or denied these. For instant, the Irish Republican Army (IRA) bombed English target in the 1980s to make the point that they felt their land was colonized by British imperialists.
7. 7. CAUSES OF TERRORISM • The belief that violence or its threat will be effective. Another way of saying this is: the belief that violent means justify the ends. Many terrorists in history said sincerely that they choose violence after long deliberation, because they felt they had no choice.
8. 8. CAUSES OF TERRORISM • Religious: perhaps the most commonly held belief today is that terrorism is caused by religion. Though it is not the main cause for terrorism, religion does play a significant role in driving some forms of it. Many terrorist get wrong understanding in religion. Since 1980, there has been an increase in terrorist activity motivated by religion.
9. 9. CAUSES OF TERRORISM • Illiteracy: Lack of education amongst the people has been put forward as a prime reason of terrorism. Uneducated person are easy to be persuaded to commit the crime because they have no high ability of thinking. Many terrorists believe crazy things; they're more likely to do crazy things.
10. 10. CAUSES OF TERRORISM • Injustice: Injustice is a cause of terrorism. People get offended and hurt by the justice system that they choose to resort to acts of violence in order to protest the on- going injustice. There is no cure to fixing the justice system to ensure that everyone is happy, but injustice is a cause of terrorism.
11. 11. IMPACT OF TERRORISM Economic impact: loss of life, infrastructures, and business. Government spending on security Society impact: create atmosphere of suspicion, fear ,and panic all around Politic impact: makes world politics more complicated and difficult
12. 12. IMPACT OF TERRORISM • Economic impact: we can see that every terrorism event always killed the innocent people, destroyed public properties, and individual properties. The large amount of money has been used to repair the loss of infrastructures. The investigators are afraid to do the business because they worry about safety. Government spending on security has also increased. For example, September 11 Attacks • Loss of life and property cost insurance companies close to US$40 million • Losses of business to the airline industry as people were afraid of flying following the incidents.
13. 13. IMPACT OF TERRORISM • Society impact: Terrorism poses a serious law and order problem and leads to disintegration of society. The incident of murder, torture, mutilation, kidnapping, arson and extortion create atmosphere of suspicion, fear and panic all around. Life becomes uncertain. The terrorists kill unarmed civilians including women and children.
14. 14. IMPACT OF TERRORISM • Politic impact: In general, terrorism makes world politics more complicated and difficult. This is because terrorism can cause very important problems even though terrorist groups are not clearly linked to states. The presence of non-state actors who can have a real impact on the world makes world politics more difficult.
15. 15. SOLUTIONS TO TERRORISM Education!!! Understand the differences in cultures, religions, beliefs and human behaviors Think of the peace, freedom and equality of all human beings, not just “one group of people” Eliminate the root of terrorism
16. 16. SOLUTIONS TO TERRORISM • Education: education is a primary solution to terrorism. The government should educate the people to understand the differences in culture, religion, belief, and human behaviors. All people should think of the peace, freedom and equality of all human beings, not just “their group of people”
17. 17. SOLUTIONS TO TERRORISM • Eliminate the root of terrorism: The way this world is attacking terrorism is funny. Every country is doing something to kill terrorism, but they still cannot eliminate all terrorist. They can kill some terrorists today, but they cannot kill the other terrorist tomorrow or after tomorrow. They should try to find the root of terrorism, and they have to eliminate it. Black money is the main root cause of terrorism because terrorists can do nothing without money, so the government should find who support the terrorist.
18. 18. SOLUTIONS TO TERRORISM • Understand about terrorists: the solution is to find out the problem why a terrorist doesn't feel guilty and why he was forced to be a terrorist. It may be some injustice done to him. Hatred spreads hatred only. It may be conquered by love only.
