Terrorism is a current problem that is quite
concerning. Not only in America but around the world, terrorism is seen. This
is a global issue as terrorist organizations and individuals spread terror
through different methods and tactics to achieve their aims. Terrorism has many
other forms that can include both direct attacks or the more indirect use of
propaganda which targets populations to produce fear and cause national or
international instability. Terrorists can have harmful effects on society that
lead people to consider change within social structures, including government,
media, education, churches, or other influential groups that support this
ideology. It is essential to discuss different methods that terrorists use to
gain support for their aims, the different strategies and tactics that
terrorists use to cause fear within specific communities, and the various ways
that people can counter terrorist groups.
