"Terrorism isthe unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government or its citizens to further certain political or social objectives. Law enforcement recognizes two types of terrorism: domestic and international." (Jollimore, T.A. 2020). Domestic terrorism is actsby an individual and/or groups inspired by or associated with primarily U.S.-based movements that espouse extremist ideologies of a political, religious, social, racial, or environmental nature. International terrorism is a violent, criminal act committed by individuals and/or groups to further ideological goals stemming from domestic influences, such as those of a political, religious, social, racial, or environmental nature.

Terrorism can be described as someone of any ethnicity, their goal is to cause fear in a political or economical way. They disguise themselves as normal looking people and have a planned attack whether it be on a major pinpoint of the government or society focused.

Terrorism is, primarily, a method, and it is used in times of peace and conflict. A terrorist organization is an illicit clandestine organization that consists of planners, trainers, and actual bombers, killers. A terrorist organization can have various structures, such as an identifiable hierarchy of command, a horizontal structure was leader.

These types of attacks can be pointed towards mostly violent acts that can target large groups of victims, the most current way is bombing, but can also be mass shootings or hostage situations. It is meant to draw attention and make a statement of standing against a certain political or religious rebellion. These attacks are more likely to involve many of the higher authoritative population.

Terrorism is defined in many ways throughout the world, and not every definition is the same and is explained differently. Definitions of terrorism are important because they guide policy, but there are differing frameworks for definitions. Some approaches emphasize the criminal nature of terrorism. Terrorism is a social construct rather than a physical entity, and the term evokes a variety of politically charged responses. The term terrorism is defined within social and political contexts, and it means different things in different time periods. The meaning even changes within a historical time frame as contexts change. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigations, there are two types of Terrorism: the first is International terrorism which refers to violent criminal acts carried out by individuals or groups who are motivated by, or connected to, countries or organizations designated as foreign terrorists (state-sponsored) (Terrorism, 2023) and then there is Domestic terrorism which refers to the use of violence and criminal activity by individuals or groups to further political, religious, social, racial, or environmental ideologies that have their roots in domestic influences (Terrorism, 2023).

When it comes to analyzing the different definitions mentioned, it is a social construct that is defined by various people within shifting social and political realities, rather than a physical entity with dimensions that can be measured, weighed, and analyzed, terrorism is difficult to define (Schmid, 1992). The term has sparked intense debate because it is nebulous and derogatory, leading to a variety of definitions and no universally accepted understanding of the phenomenon (White & Chermak, 2021). As evidenced by recent changes in American defense and law enforcement policies in response to terrorism, entire nations alter their approach to national security, intelligence, and law enforcement based on how they define terrorism. This is not a unique experience for the United States; governments have always altered their policies based on how they define the threat, dating back to the late eighteenth century when the term "terrorism" was first used in Western history (White & Chermak, 2021). Terrorism, at least from a Western perspective, grew from the French Revolution (1789-1799), and the word was originally used to describe the actions of a government, not of a band of revolutionaries. Many Americans became acutely aware of modern terrorism after the first World Trade Center bombing in 1993 and after the bombing of the federal building in Oklahoma City in 1995. However, modern terrorism began decades, even centuries, before these events (White & Chermak, 2021).

When I think of terrorism, I think of certain groups taking over and causing mayhem or destruction. Terrorism is the act of gaining attention for power over the people.

To understand the power behind word is to look at our modern academic and technological age. Let us take some time and realize the foundation of ALL work that we are experiencing in today's modern age is linked to microsoft word. It has impacted the lives of 100% of the worlds business and academic realms.

For instance in the academic realm, It provided a medium for academic expression and communication. When working and organizing an academic paper a student will find themselves PAINTING A PICTURE using FORMAT PAINTER to COLOR varies parts of your work with the came "COLOR," as one would say.

In the business realm, you can't even imagine an office without anyform of expression through microsoft. In the self-employed realm I often find myself today using word for stock market research, note taking, and business discussions. Just recently, I created a table for networking stream for various artists I've met along the way, of course in an effort to organize my music career.

Also, Professor if you are intrested, I'd like to show you my work!
