What Is Terrorism?
We discussed the term and define it as violence
or the threat of violence against specific
groups, committed for political or religious
reasons. It brings fear or terror into a
community.

What causes terrorism?

• We think that terrorism is caused by a number of
  reasons, e.g.
• Poverty (people rob banks to provide food for
  there families.)
• Unequal distribution of land/wealth. (people who
  have more authority and power over others and
  force them to do things against their will.)
• Discrimination (sectarianism, racism, favouritism
  .)
• Sectarianism is giving negative view about
  someone religion and background.
  (catholic/protestant hatred between each other)

How does Terrorism affect our lives?

• Terrorism has existed for centuries as a means of
  making a government or group aware of a desire
  that they have to change something by creating
  destruction and fear.
• Many people are in fear to go out in their daily
  lives when thinking they could be killed around
  the corner. In Belfast for example we are afraid
  to visit a different community because of
  religious issues.
• Since September 11th there has been a whole new
  upgrade in American security. Airports have
  gotten new security procedures. Also, on the
  roads, new toll booths have been made to help
  reduce illegal immigrants trying to get into
  America.
