1688 Words7 Pages

Globalization can be defined as the process by which businesses or other organizations develop international influence or start operating on an international scale. In simpler terms this means globalization is the trend of increasing interaction with people on worldwide scale due to advances in transportation, communication and technology. TERRORISM DEFINED Terrorism is defined as the, “systematic use of coercive intimidation, usually to service political ends”, (Wilkinson, 2001:13). However, it is said that no overall agreement of definition exists. The goal of terrorism is mainly seen as making and exploiting an environment of fear among a comprehensive target group, and not only the direct victims, and to achieve maximum publicity for a given reason, (Hough, Kruys and Plessis, 2005:5). People have argued on whether or not terrorism is committed by anarchist groups, by ‘out groups’ or by these demanding false legality and having fake to act on behalf of the supposedly oppressed masses, (Lodge, 188:2). The reason for terrorism “Terrorism has been employed to enforce social and political changes in states of social and political affairs regarded by a party in the state as being unjust; to force the policy of a militant minority upon majority regarded by the terrorists’ party as intruding aliens; to create a revolutionary situation’ in which mass revolution will become possible, (Hyams, 1975:12).” The main reason for terrorism is for the benefit of people regardless of

Many terrorist organizations use the current ambiguous definition of terrorism to promote their own interests and goals.

Another significant reason that an international definition for terrorism is adopted is to help emphasize the difference between terrorism

  • Terrorism: A Critique Of Excuses

    In the Ethical Life, by Russ Shafer-Landau, chapters written by Michael Walzer and Alan Dershowitz express their knowledge and opinions on the topics of terrorism and torture. Is it possible to justify and defend such acts? In the chapter “Terrorism: A Critique of Excuses”, author Michael Walzer shuts down four excuses that attempt to justify terrorism. In the chapter, “Should the Ticking Bomb Terrorist Be Tortured?”, Alan Dershowitz defends his theory that it is necessary to torture a terrorist if that means saving the lives of innocent people while protecting their civil liberties and human rights at the same time. Terrorism can never be moral because it violates all “excuses” and torture is an acceptable tactic to save lives.

    Depending on where his parents settled in the United States, their inability to find work could have been due to their level of education, prospects due to geography, or perhaps, something more insidious, such as racism or xenophobia. In any event, as a result of their failure to succeed in their adopted country, Dad turns to alcohol and eventually leaves the home. Mom, like many single mothers, must work multiple jobs to pay the bills and must rely on neighbors to care for her child, or leave the child to fend for himself. During the most critical developmental years (through age 7), Shobbit develops feelings of abandonment, since he is essentially raising himself.

    The world today is facing a crisis and there seems to be no resolution in sight. The war on terrorism has been going on for many, many years and it appears as if the leaders of the world are baffled as to stop it or if nothing else, control it. Many scholars have a difficult time attempting to define a good definition for the word terrorism. Many believe it is a difficult word to define because there are so many interruptions to the word. It will depend on what part of the country one is in, but for the universal approach to the definition many believe terrorism is “the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce esp for political purposes” (Dyson, 2012, p. 19).

    But as has also been noted, such a cultural consensus can potentially, and damagingly, prohibit serious enquiry. And this dilemma defines how the literature of terror has struggled over the years to come to terms with the representation of 9\11. Thus, for Baudrillard, 9\11is an event that is the result of globalist or rather perhaps, the globalization of American economic, cultural military power. Given the ubiquity of this power and its complete dominance over the world, Baudrillard does not deny that terrorists were but he also accuses the globalized economy of being similarly immoral, he write including the Gulf War or the war in Afghanistan are the unavoidable eruptions endemic within any hegemonic domination.
