A Block Physical Geography - Today we have time for our Hawai'i Kai topographic map assignment. To help:
Hmmmm....planned or natural?😏
B Block Criminology - We continue with our look at terrorism today. I'll have you work on the following questions:
- What is terrorism? Why do some attacks on civilians count as terrorism and others don’t? How does the motive, race, ethnic background and/or religion of the attacker affect the way attacks are responded to?
- Who carries out terrorism? Is terrorism always carried out by organized opposition groups? Can states be terrorists? Can individuals? Explain...
- Is the motive behind an act important in deciding whether it is terrorism, or should only the act itself be considered? What is the objective of terrorism? Is terrorism "violence for an audience" -- an act committed to inspire fear in the public and therefore force policy changes? Or does a terrorist act have specific strategic objectives? Does it make any difference if the perpetrators consider themselves martyrs for a religious or political cause?
- If a cause is considered legitimate, are any means to achieve its goals legitimate? How does one distinguish between a terrorist and a freedom fighter?
- Which of the five drivers of violent extremism identified in the United Nations Secretary-General's VE Action Plan do you consider to be the most significant one, and why?
- Governments have tried numerous responses to terrorism. Discuss some of these responses.
