PARTICIPATION TO EMM 400 TOPIC 3 DQ 1 Hello , I like how you pointed out that terrorist attacks usually stem from hate; however, you emphasize how this can be a plethora of things rather than just being hate. People who are placed in situations like harsh/unfair governments, experiencing inequality, poverty, stricken lifestyles, experiencing racism or torture within their culture, or even lacking education all come with the effect of easy recruitment for terrorist organizations. Thus, these terrorist organizations target these people. After all, they try to connect with them by making them feel like they are not alone and could be a part of a family because everyone is similar and uniting to feel protected. However, they don't explain nor want to explain the harsh reality of what these organizations are indeed about and what they wish to accomplish. I agree with your strategy, as a starting vocal point to bring fear forward for young members to shy away from joining these organizations. Enacting real punishment for these crimes would bring public awareness and make people think twice before they do something becasue they will know what is to come. As you have said, it is not a fix-all solution but a starting point in opinion and something to build onto or evaluate/assess. On the other hand, your strategy with implementing missionaries to poverty-stricken countries again is a great idea and a starting vocal point to build upon or evaluate/assess. These types of services show that it is still good in the world and that with a helping hand, maybe we can change the mentality that behind everything. I understand that this would not be a solution but more along the lines of a test subject to see what changed, what progress was made, or even the adverse effects of this implementation. Overall, these two strategies are perfect starting points you addressed, and I believe if we implement these strategies, at least we as people could set up a base foundation to work off of and continue to grow as a whole to reach the goal of living amongst each other in peace and harmony. Hello! I like how you noted that hate is typically the root cause of terrorist attacks, but you also stressed that there can be a variety of factors at play here in addition to pure hatred. Individuals who are subjected to harsh or unfair governments, inequality, poverty, hardships in their daily lives, racism or torture in their culture, or simply a lack of education are at a

higher risk of becoming recruits for terrorist groups. These individuals are, hence, the focus of these terrorist groups. Since everyone is similar and joins to feel protected, they want to connect with them by giving them the impression that they are not alone and may even become a family member. But they don't want to express the terrible reality of what these organizations stand for or what they hope to achieve. I would also like to touch base about the "Psychosocial Support" category you wrote about and how important it is to the rest of them. Our emotional, psychological, and social well- being are all parts of our mental health. It influences our feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. It also influences how we respond to stress, interact with people, and make wise decisions. Every stage of life, from infancy and adolescence to maturity, is critical for mental health. Furthermore, high psychological well-being has been linked to a lower risk of drug and alcohol abuse and criminal conduct, according to a study. Overall, your response was perfect because the breakdown explaining each category was thorough and adequately addressed. I believe each category is necessary at certain stages and must be implemented at the proper time when the situation needs to have these categories addressed aloud. However, psychosocial support is by far the most important out of any of them because if you can genuinely have someone open up to you about what they are thinking or feeling, that alone is the icing on the cake and will help tremendously becasue of the self-reflection and self-respect that said individual had and came clean to become better than who they were before. Hello! I agree that this information is impossible to quantify and that the lack of focus on terrorism in society and our schools is not expressed as an urgency. Instead, like you said, it is ignored as there is no way to fix the problem, or people believe that it's a touchy subject and do not want to create panic among society and schools. However, we need to address this issue, whether it's talking about international or domestic terrorism. We need to be aware of it and set ourselves up with the tools to be that prevention/deterrent by being the watchful eye when first responders may not be around. When it comes to the Septemeber 11th attacks. We are taught about the day that put the world on standby becasue of the sheer fear that the terrorists spread across the globe with the acts of violence they carried out. However, they don't teach you the details of how the terrorists planned and organized 9/11; they don't teach

you how they executed this plan on that fateful day, and they don't speak about the gritty details of what was happening after 9/11 when it comes to the FBI.DHS, and many others. You learn about what happened that day to a minor level, and that's it. Thus, I agree with your that an effective strategy to implement and carry out is to raise awareness and educate people about international and domestic terrorism. People should be educated about the events and told the severity of the actions taken by these individuals. Emphasize just how important it is to learn about this type of information so that they can prevent/deter by being the watchful eye across the US. Overall, your idea of a more developed, thorough, and proactive strategy that addresses underlying causes, promotes cooperation, emphasizes education, and encourages positive youth participation can all help keep young people from terrorist attacks. Hello! Thank you for reading my discussion question response and adding more details about my response. This is helpful becasue it allows me to conduct further research on a topic or area I might have overlooked or not touched further base on yet. According to scholarly literature, terrorism is understood as a "contested concept," a discursive framework, and a political attribution that is frequently not accurately and legally defined (Taylor, R. W., & Swanson, C. R. (2019)). It can turn opposing political, ideological, or religious viewpoints into action plans and governmental procedures. There are several ways to analyze and characterize terrorism: it can be seen as an incident, a historical trend, a policy, or a dispositive. It is also a dynamic concept in both legal and discursive circles. Following a terrorist incident, a lot of kids are subjected to intense media coverage. Children and young people (5–18 years old) watched three hours of terror-related television news on average in the week after the 9/11 attacks (Duarte et al., 2011). Kids could not stop asking questions about the terrorist assaults on the Internet, radio, newspapers, and television. The problematic part of this is that school-age children are particularly vulnerable since they frequently lack the tools necessary to deal with an abundance of information.

Therefore, establishing a safe space and having a conversation about terrorism following an attack may be difficult and emotionally taxing for both educators and students. However, as a society, we need to find a way to address these concerns in a tactical manner. This will allow students to be aware that the world is not all sunshine and rainbows but instead has challenges that we must all face daily and must be mindful of. I agree with you, that making this aware among education systems could help address risks and potential for contact with terrorist groups via social media; this will help young people not respond with greater caution due to the awareness raised. I also agree with your statement of how people in their teens and mid-twenties do seem to be the targets of recruitment for this kind of act, and this needs to be addressed at a larger scale in a way to gets the point across without making it unappealing or scary to people.
