Terrorism

Terrorism: The Debate

Terrorism is a global threat which endangers the lives of people. Terrorism undermines democratic governments, even in mature democracies like those in the United States and Europe. The fear terrorism generates can distort public debates, discredit moderates, empower political extremes, and polarize societies. However, Can Terrorism Ever Be Justified?

 

Since the turn of the century, the postmodern world has seen increasing levels of political, cultural, military, and socio-economic tumult, much of this due to a series of terrorist attacks. The nature of terrorism has come under intense media focus and is subject to immense debate, especially on its justification. Many believe that terrorism is an inevitable part of society as a natural outcome of severe desperation and bitterness of the world's impoverished majority.
