Terrorism

            Domestic terrorism refers to the act of committing violence within one’s own nation with an aim of bringing fear so as to sustain political strategies, social as well as religious ideas or ideological goals. Most of the attackers in US come from the major religious folks, white supremacists and military groups. For instance in the 1996 bombing of the Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta which killed one and had 111 casualties. International terrorism on the other hand refers to the act of committing violence by foreign terrorists from other nations with an aim similar to that of the domestic terrorism (Levin 2006). Most of the global terrorism is against the U such as the al-Qaida terrorist attack that was committed in 2011. American response to these acts of terrorism both domestically as well as globally, imposes fear. These attacks as committed by the terrorists’ results to fear to go anywhere and especially in social gatherings. Most of the terror attacks in the US are committed by the differing citizens who support varying political as well as religious groups. There are numerous changes that can be changed in the next five years. One of the ways that this receptiveness can change is through the improvement of the counter terrorism system among all the states. Better and well advanced screening mechanisms ought to be used in all sectors such as in businesses, transport and even in churches.

            These solutions would only be practical and successful if only all the citizens as well as the government work collectively. It is the role of each and every nation to collaborate globally so as to counter these terrorists attack. However, much training ought to be done to the citizens even as the strategies are enforced.
