The consept of terrorism
Terrorism is the use of violence to achieve global goals and objectives. In some cases, it can even be called politics. The result of such situations is the death of people or damage to their property. The word terror is translated from Latin as «fear». So the point of terrorism is to cause real damage to some people, and it to psychologically affect others.
From here we can allocate several features of terrorism:
1. There is a real threat to a person, his health and life, achieved by force.
2. Its main purpose is intimidation, but unlike the threat of violence, it is actually used here.
3. Based on the purpose of making terrorist acts, its main feature is mass character, distribution, publicity of society. It should be remembered by people. So to some extent, the media even popularizes things that the terrorists want to achieve.
From this, we can understand that terrorism is also a psychological problem. It greatly affects the mood in society, makes a lot of stress.
Varieties of terrorism:
1. Political, used for changing state system, elimination of political opponents;
2. National – to oust other nation, their culture or prove superiority over them;
3. Religious – to posit one religion
4. Criminal – using terrorist methods for crimes
Methods of terrorism:
1. Explosions
2. Murders and kidnappings
3. Capture of buildings or transport
Examples of terrorist acts
1: Hostage-taking in Beslan. It happened on first of september, on the school ruler at School No. 1. Among them there were children, their teachers, parents. They were kept in school for about three days, and 333 people died during the assault. Now all that remains of the school is a monument.
2: On 26 of September Artem Kazantsev came to school in Izhevsk with a gun.
He was preparing for a whole year, kept a lot of weapons at home, because of hatred for others. The victims were 18 people and 21 injured children.
3: And the biggest and the most famous terrorist act: the series of explosions on 11th of September 2001
19 criminals captured 3 planes. 2 of them crashed into the World Trade Center in new York. And the third on the pentagon building in Washington. The victims of the terrorist attack were 2977 people.
Methods of combating terrorism
• Since terrorists cannot act alone, by tracking their connection with like-minded people, we can find out about their plans.
• It is also necessary to punish the leaders of terrorist groups, because they have a huge impact on criminal activity.
• People who are members of the organization can be returned to normal life. The state should convince them of the harm and senselessness of all this, improve the lives of these people and destroy the ways of financing the organization.
Survey
To study the topic of terrorism and ways to solve this problem, I conducted a survey among students of grades 8-10 and their parents. 31 people participated in the survey, 16 of them were students, 15 were parents. The survey consisted of four questions:
1. Do you know what terrorism is?
2. Do you consider it a threat to society?
3. Is it possible to defeat it?
4. What are the ways to do this?
All participants know or partially know what terrorism is, and everyone is sure that this is a serious problem now. But only 45% believe that it can be defeated. 42% are partially sure of this. And 13% recognize this problem as unsolvable, as the number of terrorists is growing rapidly.
Both categories of survey participants note that the unification of all countries is important for the struggle.
Students offered to introduce lessons in schools, monitor the mental health of children. Also monitor the sale and storage of weapons and carry out control in public places.
There is also an attention to children among parents. They talk about their upbringing in general, about increasing live communication and more control of internet resources. They advise to be more careful and observe security measures.
Conclusion
While working on the project, I studied a lot of literature about the concept of terrorism, its types, known terrorist acts, methods of combating it, and also conducted a survey among students and their parents for this purpose. Therefore, the tasks of the project have been completed, and the goal has been achieved. The product of my project is my work as an article in dzen-channel «Параграф 33».
