The word "terrorism" means "the use of violent actions to intimidate people around." Today terrorism has become a serious threat. Suicide attacks, theft, robbery, murder and kidnapping are an integral part of our society. Terrorism is also practiced for the sake of self-promotion or getting rid of a political party / person. Below are the top 10 reasons why people become terrorists.
Note: This article was not written to motivate anyone to commit crimes or become a terrorist. Let's keep the earth safe and secure while fighting terrorism.
10. Seeking thrills
Some people become terrorists simply because they want to have fun and have an exciting experience. We watch the news every day, and this, unfortunately, is a source of motivation to commit crimes. Some adolescents and children are attracted to terrorism as something fantastic, unreal.
9. Search for your "I"
Research has shown that 2,032 foreigners who joined al-Qaeda were on the lookout for their identities. Many of them are vulnerable to society and ready to prove themselves. Some teenagers ask themselves "Who am I?" And, in order to get an answer, they commit crimes and become terrorists.
8. Inspired by its effectiveness
Some of the young minds are inspired by the effectiveness of terrorism. They think creating chaos can help them get attention quickly. This position leads them to commit crimes of small or large scale.
7. Poverty and lack of education
These are the two most common reasons why people become terrorists. According to research from the University of Chicago, terrorism and poverty are directly linked to each other. Countries suffering from poverty and lack of education fail to understand that terrorism is not beneficial. The situation can be controlled by improving policy development and reducing unemployment.
6. Political and social injustice
When a person is denied their rights, they become enraged and most likely react negatively. Usually terrorists are the result of the troubled society in which we live. Here people are prevented from speaking out against political and social injustice and, as a result, they commit crimes to gain attention.
5. State support
It is shocking, but various terrorist activities are carried out under the control of the government. It sponsors terrorist groups to carry out suicide attacks, bombing raids, aircraft hijackings and other activities.
4. Recruitment
It is true that many terrorists are not joining this area willingly. The Internet is very ubiquitous these days and news of terrorist groups goes viral. There are many groups that encourage young people to become terrorists.
3. Reaction to oppression
If you were mistreated, how would you react? Obviously it will be something dramatic. Those who oppressed people will face the consequences, because this cannot last forever and will eventually end. And the victims will be forced to act like criminals and terrorists.
2. Psychological reasons
Such reasons can also pave the way for terrorism. About 25% of terrorists grew up in poverty and poor environmental conditions, which led to their mental weakness. As a result, they begin to commit crimes of various types and seek to eliminate injustice in society.
1. Religious conflicts
They play an important role in someone's life. In case you see that your religion is not respected, then you will strive to control and correct it. When it comes to religion, no one is ready to listen to a single word.
