Peace, which has been collecting data since 1997.”
(The Global Economic Cost of Terrorism Is Now at Its Highest Since 9/11)
Damaged goods is a good example of a possible loss, of which could not be easily fixed. Goods primarily include things like books, clothing, food, vehicles, and furniture. Depending on the good and the quantity of the good that has been destroyed, the country could be looking at an extremely large or small problem. Another possible issue that will affect on cost distinction is the cost of buildings that have been destroyed or impaired. A house or a restaurant is an easy fix for the government to pay to have repaired or built to replace the old one.
However, something like a hospital or a skyscraper is not so easily fixed.

In Chad, there is only 71,000 tourists each year willing to deal with the rising rebellion terrorists attacks and political instability in the country (The 25 Least Visited Countries in the World). This might seem like much, but it is nothing compared to the millions of tourist the United States brings in every year. Afghanistan only brings in about 17,500 tourists per year due to the terrorist groups residing in that area (The 25 Least Visited Countries in the World). Due to the small amount of tourism in these countries, Chad and Afghanistan’s economy is missing out on a lot of …show more content…

Terrorism, and the fear of terrorism, has imprinted some everlasting social, psychological, and economical effects in the world today. In the aftermath of terrorism, you can find that the relationships you have with people tend to change due to the new situation at hand. Living under constant terrorism causes a line of social effects in a community. It causes tension amongst a society, making it hard to believe that anyone can be trusted. It also causes extreme and unwarranted prejudice towards innocent people who share the same ethnicity, skin color, and religion as the attackers.
The psychological impact of terrorism is not as obvious as social changes. Psychological changes impact a person the most because their thoughts are inescapable. Not everyone remembers what they had for dinner the night before or what outfit they wore at the beginning of the week, but everyone can remember fear or a time in which they were really scared. Terrorism causes a constant state of fear throughout the world. Even if you are fortunate enough to live in a country without terrorism there is always a constant fear of ‘what
Terrorism – This is a word that many people are terrified of. When a terrorist attack occurs, people’s daily routines are shattered. Things change instantaneously the moment the bomb goes of. When we think about a terrorist attack that really impacted the world, we immediately think about 9/11. On that day many people were hurt directly and indirectly. People were disorientated and scared. The moment there is change, the world panics. Unfortunately, 9/11 was not the only day where people panicked. On 1988, the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 occurred. This terrorist attack was not as massive as 9/11; but, it did leave scares especially to the Syracuse University community.
People have to live in fear because of them, and they are ruining some people's chance of freedom such as the refugees. The characters in Under the Persimmon Tree were all changed some way by the Taliban. People in the world now are being influenced and fearful of these terrorists. Terrorists enforce many laws that have to do with what they believe in and what they think is right. If you disagree, they will use violence to make you agree with their decisions. Terrorists scare people all around the world, some parts more than others. The thought of terrorists attacking anytime in a country where terrorism is common is always on these people's minds throughout the day. The people in America, and in the countries, terrorist groups have not affected directly yet might not fully feel the terrifying aspect of terrorist groups such as the Taliban, and Isis. The people in the parts of the world who have been directly altered by terrorists know the fear that comes with that. It is hard for people that haven't lived through terrorism near your community or in your community to fully understand what it's like to be panicked all the time over possible terrorist
The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 were horrific and traumatic events that affected not only the United States but had global ramifications as well. The events of that day produced immediate and long term effects on numerous aspects of society. The human tragedy in the loss of human life was immeasurable. The societal effects of 9/11 continue to be present even today as the war against terror continues. It is difficult to measure the societal impacts, but the economic cost of the attacks, have been and continue to be measured.
Over the past Century, terrorism has advanced from random killings to enormous plans for terrorist groups. To understand terrorism you must first define it. Terrorism as we all know it is hard to define and understand, and has many different definitions as it is used widely. The word "terrorism" stems from the word "terror", which means to instill fear in. People become terrorists when they take the actions towards instilling fear and terror upon people to prove a certain point or agenda. Some terrorists may have the motivation of proving something political, while some may just inflict terror to keep control over a group, people or country. Then there are terrorists who act under the notion that they are showing support for something, as in religious regions, while others do so to show disdain for something they don't agree with. Government, individual agencies, private agencies, and academic experts have all developed, proposed, designed, and analyzed what constitutes acts of terrorism. The meaning of terrorism has definitely changed and acquired new definitions over the years. The million dollar question is how will the future of America be affected by this act of terrorism?
The importance of analyzing terrorism is to understand the impact it has had on all factors mentioned above but also to see what changes it has had on behavior, expression and ethics on the human being. When the attacks of 9/11 occurred on American soil, the American people initially reacted with fear, anxiety and anger. Since then, we are witnessing the second and third order effects of it, impacting human behavior, expression and ethics. 9/11 has affected American people in profoundly deep and lingering ways till this day that are both positive and
Terrorism is focused on a one-sided belief that dictates massive destruction of institutions, foundations and national symbols. It represents a philosophy, which does not comply with common sense. Terrorism acts are a matter of individual psychology, relentless ideology, religious commitment, or political passion. The most devastating terrorism attack in the United States was on September 11, 2001. Other U S attacks were the Manhattan attack in 1997, the Anthrax attack in 2001, a prior World Trade Center attack in 1993, the Wall Street Bombing attack in 1920, and the Kalama City bombing in 1995 (Askshintala, 2013). Terrorism attacks have also taken place in Israel, Greece, Chechnya a border between Russia and European countries and India (Askshintala, 2013). All of these attacks and other attacks that were not as devastating have become much of an international legal debate on terrorism. Terrorism should be criminalized under international law.
Terrorism was not a highly published problem within the United States. Media did not cover this topic and domestic terrorism situations were almost unheard. This changed on September 11, 2001. The 9/11 terrorist attack against the World Trade Center twin towers made Americans aware of how vulnerable was the United States. Airport security issues skyrocketed and the criminal justice system took a 360 change in policies and procedures. New organizations such as the Department of Homeland Security were created with the specific task of handling terrorist threats, and the bills such as the patriotic Act were enacted. American became aware of “strangers” mingled among them and commenced to relate terrorism with race. But what made the country edgier than anything else was the fear of facing a new terrorist attack. Terrorism can come in various forms, for example: cyberterrorism, revolutionary terrorism, nuclear terrorism and bioterrorism. Nowadays, terrorism is an extremely debatable topic, and ever trying to make the United States a safer place to live.
Terrorism, then, is a type of political crime that makes use of murder and destruction or the threat of such violence in order to promote change. It is a specific kind of calculated violence with a selected target. Targets can include individuals, groups, communities, or governments. In most cases, excessive violence is used against innocent people which creates a fear that the terrorist can use for coercive purposes. This "fear" is usually directed at someone other than the victim. "In other words, terrorism is a psychological act conducted for its impact on an audience."(1) Since terrorists need publicity to inspire fear, they often seek more unusual events that capture and hold public attention.
To start off, terrorism can create fear used to gain power in the world by intimidating masses of people through the process of killing. Whenever a terrorist group liquidates hundreds of people, citizens in that area become nervous and start to become scared of that
Terrorism has always been around and always will be around. Lately, though, terrorism has become more brutal. More and more people are being killed everyday because of it. Hundreds of terrorist organizations and entities exist all over the world. The deadliest, however, are from the Middle East or Africa. Their targets are as populous as the Earth. Nobody is off limits. Generally, they like to kill anyone and everyone who opposes them in any way, shape, or form. Since the mid- to late-1990s, the Middle Eastern nations especially have been under close watch because of all the terrorist organizations, their attacks on many non-Muslim groups and nations, and now national agencies, militant groups, and even the President are doing all they can to stop terrorism before it gets worse.
Terrorism destroys the sense of security and safety which are usual feelings for people not only on the individual level but also at the community level. People need to seeing world as predictable and controllable environment and terrorism challenges this natural need. Family members of the direct victims suffer the most and perceive the world as unstable place to live. The emotional problems are so big that many are even afraid to go outside because of fear to face terrorism in the neighborhood.
Terrorism is used around the world to create fear and influence the public on political views (Siegel, 489). There are four views of terrorism including the psychological view, socialization view, ideological view, and the alienation view. A religious terrorist would most likely fit under the ideological view. In this view the terrorist feels the need to change a wrong opinion and believes that, because they are sacrificing themselves for something they believe so strongly in, it justifies the damage and harm done to innocent people (Siegel, 490). They use terror to create fear in anyone who opposes them and attract followers to their religion. In short, terrorism is widely used for political reasons but religion has been linked to the violence as well.
Terrorism is not necessarily a new phenomenon and it will never be removed from society. Terrorism has been defined as a application of violence or threatened violence intended to panic society, to weaken or overthrow incumbents, or to bring political change. There will continue to be minority or oppressed (or perceived oppressed) people or groups will continue to believe that terrorism is the only solution to their problems. (1) (2) (3)
In 2016, a total of 11,072 terrorist attacks occurred worldwide, resulting in more than 25,600 total deaths and more than 33,800 people injured. Terrorism is the act of unlawful and unjust violence to intimidate or fill a population of people with fear, to pursue their goals that are religious, political, or ideological. Terrorism is a major issue in the world because innocent people are being affected. There are many different types of terrorist attacks that can be perpetrated. Because a terrorist attack is instantaneous, it is hard to be prepared and rush innocent citizenry somewhere safe. In addition, when a terrorist attack happens, people are alarmed, skeptical, and frighted. Terrorism damages the lives
So what kind of effects does terrorism have over the mind of a citizen of an attacked country? A month after the events of 9/11 Matthew G. Whalley and, Chris R. Brewin took a general population study on stress levels in the region of the original incident and throughout the United States, the study showed that a rise in stress levels stretching far past the region of impact.
