Definition of Terrorism

Terrorism is the violent and threatened action against civillians, their properties, and governments and societies. We call Terrorists who commit the action to achieve political, religious, or ideological objectives. They sometimes make the violent action to warn governments or countries as one of negotiation. Basically, terrorist would be racial, religious, and political minorities. In addition, person or groups who are inferior to opposite in terms of military strength, authority, budget. Since terrorist cannot fight agaisnt opposite face-to-face, they choose that kind of actions. I will give a few examples. In September 11, some guys highjacked passenger planes and attacked on the World Trade center. In terms of my definition, it is definitely a terrorism because militant group called Al-Qaeda unexpectedly offensed the strongest country in the world, the United States. another case is a Rwanda infighting. Although it was the ethical fight between Tutsi and Hutu, militant Hutu killed thousands of unarmed Tutsi even women or children. In my view, it is not terrorism but genocide. One terrorism causes disorder in society and throws people in a panic but basically it would not change political, religious, and any other condition. Terrorisms are scared because they are unexpectedlyand continueously happen in the world. It is the main purpose for terrorist to scare people by possibility of terrorism. Terrorists insist their political, religious, and ethical ideologies to stronger opposite by terrorism.
