Terrorism
The use of intentional violence for political or religious purposes
Real World Example
Terrorism has been a significant issue throughout history, especially as the world began to change rapidly with globalization and technological advancements. It often arose in response to political oppression, inequality, or to push religious ideologies, as groups aimed to gain attention or force change. During times of change, such as after the Cold War, terrorism was used by different groups to influence new political landscapes. Today, terrorism still matters because it can disrupt societies, create fear, and result in loss of lives, affecting international security and personal freedoms. For instance, the attacks on September 11, 2001, in the United States led to increased security measures worldwide, impacting how people travel and perceive safety in public spaces.
