Poverty

In your opinion, how can we stop terrorism and prevent war around the world? Should we work together as one or should each country control their own people?

Terrorism just like poverty, is a global issue which can only be tackled if all the nations all over the world come together and focus on dealing with this issue. Terrorism affects all countries all over the world, however, it seems to originate from the Middle East. From Middle East, terrorist recruit people from all over the world, including people from the U.S and England. This is therefore a global issue, since terrorism seems to be spreading at a very fast rate, whereby the youths are being easily lured into joining such groups (English, 2010). In order to deal with such groups, the international community needs to come up with the reasons as to why most youths are easily being lured into joining the terrorist groups. After getting the reasons, it would be easier to block the channels through which the terrorists use to recruit the youths.

Secondly, it is also necessary to understand the financiers of terrorist groups, so as to cut their funding. Terrorists are majorly financed by the rich oil miners and arms dealers, whose main aim is to cause havoc all over the world, thus being able to control oil prices, and to create a market for arms, respectively (English, 2010). If such groups of people are known and pointed out, it would be necessary for the international community to deal with them accordingly. Nevertheless, those found guilty of financing terrorist activities should be charged with high treason, in addition, they should not also be allowed to have licences to either mine oil or sale arms.

In as much as all countries in the world should come together in order to deal with terrorism, all countries should be committed to bringing terrorism to an end through pointing out those who participate in terrorism activities in their countries (English, 2010). Terrorism will be an issue of the past, if all countries come together and focus on winning this war.
