Causes Of Transnational Terrorism

Ever since the tragic terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 the media’s top priority every day is covering any and all terrorism. By all acounts, 9-11 remains the single most deadly attack ever on American soil, however terror attacks declined over the last twenty years. Despite the decline in terror activity, media coverage continues to report at an all-time high. Thus, every major news entity worldwide continually provides around the clock terrorism coverage. Deadly carnage streams on a time loops constantly, gruesome amputations and gun shot wounds appear on tvs around the world. The grotesque footage decencitizes millions of people and promotes and kind of glamourizes terrorism. The tv coverage causes wide spread fear, panic, and

The methods that people nowadays use to get news of any kind, whether it be sports, weather, or global, have changed drastically from the time where news was only available through newspapers and radio stations. Regarding terrorism, the media is the only source of information, unless it is a primary account of a soldier who had been at war. However, the media is able to manipulate any story to make someone or something either look good or bad. This is exactly what happened after the occurrence of 9/11. The media, along with the government, caught the wave of nationalism sweeping across the country and built news stories favoring America. For example, not many people talk about how the American government in 1990, intervened in the Middle East after Iraq invaded Kuwait, which could be a possible cause for the attacks of 9/11. This event and many other instances of American intervention in the Middle East have been swept under the rug by the U.S. government through the media. These incidences were all put forth as necessary steps to protect “our” best interests in the region. John Steinbrink, a professor of education and Jeremy Cook, a doctoral candidate at Oklahoma State University, used the media’s coverage of the aftermath of 9/11 as an example for education in media literacy, which is “the ability to read, understand, and interpret the influence of all forms of media in one’s life” (284). Using

The event of 9/11 is the most publicized and dramatized terrorist attack in the world. For the past 15years the style and means the media report terrorist attacks has been mostly beneficial to the terrorist the media instigate fear in the public. The public depends on the news most especially social media like Facebook, Twitter and also Television for information about the crisis at hand and instruction about what to

The terms terrorism and domestic terrorism are very similar concepts. There are, however, slight differences in each. Entities that are apart of the Government have slightly different ways of explaining what they believe to be the correct definition of terrorism and domestic terrorism. In this paper the author will offer definitions of the two terms and state which one they agree with the most. The author will also state how the two terms are best differentiated.

For this part of the task I have been asked to look at the case study of Superflex UK. Recommend and justify ways in which Superflex could address these problems and improve the cash position of the business.

The overwhelming majority of the world’s nations, including United States are signatories to at least one international agreement that condemns terrorism. The question comes to mind as why terrorism is growing and not coming to an end, and what are the intentions of the terrorist groups. There are many factors in the development of domestic terrorisms, however, there are several causes on the growing terrorism and there is a need to find the principal factors responsible for causing this growing threat. In addition, it is important to save the world and to save our next generation from being victims in the hands of terrorism. Many are the risk factors involved in the development of domestic terrorism. Additionally, it is important to remember that terrorism is a tactic practiced by people from a wide array of ethnic and religious backgrounds who follow various ideologies extending from anarchism to

“The media’s the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that’s power. Because they control the minds of the masses,” were the words of Malcolm X during his famed 1963 speech. Many believe this quote has lost relevance in our contemporary society. However, on the contrary, it rings more true than ever. One popular topic that has had an extreme influence on our society due to the way the media portrays it is terrorism. Whether it is a tragic event such as 9/11 or simply the way it portrays Muslims, the media tends to sensationalize the fear and tragedy of such events to increase publicity while also depicting all terrorists as Muslim

Domestic terrorism is the commission of terrorist assaults in a state by people living in a country. In the United States, this form terrorism is an irregularity that seriously treated as a crime. This kind of terrorism entails viciousness against civilian populace or foundation of a country regularly however not by natives of that country and frequently with the aim to threaten, constrain, or influence national policy. In the course of recent years, domestic terrorism has been experienced globally. This has turned to be a threat to the security of common citizens and government officials as they are the targets of domestic terrorists. This paper examines domestic terrorism in terms of the cause, strategy, and the global assessment of bias to United States situation and other countries.

When reporting on terrorism, the media function as a double-edged sword. They assure terrorists that their grievances will receive public attention; yet they also can mobilize public opinion against the arbitrary use of violence by stripping terrorism of its "romantic veneer" and exposing its violent underpinnings to public scrutiny.20 ' The proposed general industry guidelines should minimize the harms from publicizing terrorist events while maximizing the speech interests vital to a democratic society (Moffitt, 1998). In previous decades, the journalistic mission was to report the news as it actually happened, with fairness, balance, and integrity; Profit gaining motives associated with journalism have forced much of today's television news to look to the spectacular, the stirring, and the controversial as news stories. It's no longer a race to break the story first or get the facts right. Instead, it's to acquire good ratings in order to get advertisers, so that profits soar. The goals of terrorists are not solely confined to winning the attention of the masses. In addition to that, through the media, they aim to publicize their political causes, inform both friends and foes about the motives for terrorist deeds, and explain their rationale for resorting to violence

Terrorism has been a controversial topic ever since the 19th century, during Napoleon’s invasion of Spain in 1807 (White, Jonathan, et al. 123). The term’s meaning has changed over time throughout history, and has sparked debates over its true definition (White Jonathan, et al. 7). It was not until after the 9/11 attacks, when the media started to bring terrorism in its headlines. By then, terrorism became a popular topic for its drama. Drama attracts audiences to read, watch, or listen to their advertisements (White, Jonathan, et al. 74). I believe the media does influence terrorism because it attracts attention, generalizes certain groups of people, and the use of communicating through the internet. Without having terrorism in their “topics-to-talk-about” list, any other news coverage would be considered as, “boring”.

This year I have noticed our theme recurring throughout the year in our many stories. The pursuit of happiness stood out to me in Thoreau’s literature. Especially when he said, “I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and not see if I could learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.” To me, this shows that the pursuit of happiness is different for everyone. Thoreau wanted to live deliberately, he wanted to learn all that he could, so that when it came his time, he wouldn't have gone his whole life to find out that he never really lived. Thoreau found his happiness in the simplest things in life.

“If the media were not there to report terrorist acts and to explain their political and social significance...terrorism as such would cease to exist” said John O'Sullivan, an editor of the Times of London.1 This is also the way many other people feel about the recent increase in terrorist activity; they feel that the media is causing it. The media is doing this by fulfilling the terrorists' need for publicity.2 Terrorists need media publicity in order to get their views spread to the public.3 Because of this need for publicity, terrorists are committing their acts of terrorism in areas where a lot of publicity will be gained; the United States and Western Europe are the most recent targets. The bombings of the federal building in

Besides nuclear bombs, and other lethal weapons terrorist groups may have, television may be one of the most powerful weapons available to terrorists. According to the article, Martin the Media's Role in International Terrorism, by the 1870s, it was recognized that political violence could not be effective without communication. This gives terrorist organizations the flexibility to do more psychological harm than physical damage. For example, a terrorist can blow up a building, and kill fifteen victims. Psychologically, there may be a few more victims within the local area, but the incident could only spread as far as word of mouth, and then only so efficiently. However, if the media transmits the incident across the country, then psychologically far more victims would suffer the incident. Even the local area could be more affected by the attack if there was any news on it in the local newspaper. The terrorist seeks a large audience to get their message across exploiting the media to maximize their range. According to Braithwaite's article (as cited in Post, 2007), Post argues that governments in the West have tended to rely too much upon their technological advantage and that this has resulted in them losing ground in the psychological war that terrorists wage. This is one of the main reasons why terrorist organizations can destroy Americans psychologically. Americans rely so much on media that they seek it

Attacks receive more coverage when they harm or kill victims, involve hijackings or aircraft, have known perpetrators, and select targets associated with Western countries. A study of transnational terrorism shows that attacks that inflict injuries are twice as likely to attract media attention as those that do not. The attacks in which the perpetrator can be identified are four times as likely to be reported in a newspaper and ten times as likely to be reported on television (The Media’s Role in International Terrorsim). Attacks in the Middle East or Europe are twice as likely to receive media attention as attacks perpetrated in Latin America (The Media’s Role in International Terrorism). There are very similar factors that influence media coverage of attacks that take place within the United States.

an assessment is made to determine whether there is any risk (likelihood of injury, illness or disease) associated with the use of lead at the workplace; and any risk is eliminated, or if that is not practicable, reduced so far as is practicable.
