Soylent Green is a grim fictional ,at the time futuristic, outlook on how disregard for important environmental issues would lead to overpopulation, food shortages, climate change, and cannibalistic food alternatives. But looking into the future Soylent Green doesn't necessarily look like a work of fiction, the over population, climate change, and food shortages in the film is just a true story that hasn't happened yet.

The Boko Haram sect in Nigeria has been a huge problem for the country in the past, and the threat is only growing. This group is considered responsible for a handful of government attacks, targets on the United Nations, and often churches who undermine the Islamic religion. Their actions have spawned from the idea that their country is controlled by “fake Muslims”, and aim to create an Islamic nation ruled with Sharia law.

Boko Haram are motivated by a Jihadist version of Islam and is believed to be believers of the one true interpretation of the (Brinkel & Ait-Hida, 2012, p. 16). Their ultimate goal to create a true Islamic state in Nigeria directly associated with Sharia law. (Chothia, 2015, p. 5). The group has maintained their secrecy and the authorities have yet to be captured by law enforcement.

The Al-Shabaab is regarded as one of the most dangerous African terrorist organizations. Al-Shabaab is a multiethnic militant group out of Somalia that uses many terrorist tactics in attempts to gain control over the country of Somalia. They use many forms of terrorism that include ideological revolutionary, dissident, and nationalist terrorism, as they have the motive to gain power over a territory by overthrowing the government.

This article is about the mistreatment of people fleeing from Boko Haram who thought that the Nigerian soldiers would save them. As hundreds flee from Boko Haram claimed territories, Nigerian soldiers are picking them up and holding them as prisoners in detention centers, claiming to be trying to protect others from extremist claiming to be victims. This has lead to some accusations of mistreatment because these detention centers are holding men, women, and infants for months on end in unsanitary and unsafe areas. The article then explains that the Nigerian government and army are being accused of being too extreme in its persistence and ways of trying to eliminate Boko Haram. While Nigeria is struggling to handle the threat that is Boko Haram,

Boko Haram have been known to switch their attack tactics due to Nigerian security forces catching up on them. To begin with, from 2009 to 2014 most attacks carried out by Boko Haram were by armed assaults, which resulted in 63% of the deaths that year (Pricopi,2016). Not only did Boko Haram conduct attacks using armed assaults but they also used bombs as well. In fact, bombing tactics in 2013 were used in 35 incidents; however, that number increased by three times in 2014, making it used in 107 incidents(Pricopi,2016). Also, in that same year the number of civilians attacked in public places also increased as well. Suicide attacks, were also another tactic used by Boko Haram and in 2014, they accounted for atleast 31 of those attacks

Boko Haram is not able to sustain its success by just its ideological interpretation. Therefore, the organization needs some source of money which comes from external sources. According to the International Business Times (2014), Boko Haram has received millions through ransoms from kidnapping. In addition, the group receives donations from external sympathizers from all around the globe (Caulderwood, para. 8). Boko Haram also has ties to Al-Qaeda as both organizations are known to have exchanged weapons, cash, and some soldiers (para. 9). According to the South African Journal of Military Studies (2012), Boko Haram also gains revenue through an extensive drug trafficking empire. Additionally main is gained by tapping into oil pipelines and

The article discusses the fact that the U.S. Military believes that two of the largest,most well known, and feared terrorist groups are joining forces; Boko Haram and ISIS. It goes into detail about the tactics used by Boko Haram and how unethical these tactics are such as strapping explosives to birds and having children deliver the explosives to markets. They believe that the two terrorist groups are beginning to get more close so they can plan attacks against American allies that are located in North and Central Africa. Boko Haram has already pledged their allegiance to the Islamic State (ISIS) but now it looks like they'll join forces in combat and there's no telling what they could do

In 2014 , over 200 schoolgirls were kidnapped, left in the hands of Buhari hoping to bring them home safe and have justice served. People rallied up all over the world in the search

Western women take a lot for granted. In many parts of the world, even in the 21st century, women are not allowed to dress freely, speak freely, drive, vote, own a business, even go to school. Those that violate the tenets of the society in which they live can be killed for their lack of obedience. Still, like Rosa Parks on that bus in Montgomery, Alabama, there are women who are willing to stand up for the rights they do not yet have but know they deserve.

Terrorists gain money through illegal activities such as front companies, drug trades, and kidnappings. Terrorist leaders such as Osama Bin Laden have been known to own chain stores throughout the Middle East, using them not only for money laundering but as a safe route to move and store weapons (Kaplan). In addition to this, these organizations tend to share in illegal oil profits and loot banks and market goods. Not only are these methods illegal, they are unethical, too. Kidnapping has been found to produce high profits for many of these groups. Holding hostages for ransom forces desperate family members into giving away huge sums of money in order to keep their loved ones alive. While the ways in which groups like these attain their money is disturbing, families are desperate to feed their children and themselves. On the other hand, many people are unaware of these illegal methods and know only of the charities that support the terrorist organizations. Charity is a big aspect of Islam, and there are thousands of charities through the Middle East. While as few as a hundred charities may sponsor terrorism, these are some of the wealthiest charities (Kaplan). The high amount of money flowing into these organizations leaves little for the rest of the population who have almost no way of attaining income at
