    The Rand Corporation for the National Memorial Institute for the Prevention of Terrorism (MIPT) reveals that there has been a 250 percent increase in terrorist activity from September 11, 2001 to September 2006 alone. If we divide post 9/11 into two phases until 2006, the first phase has 4772 fatalities from terrorist attacks and the second phase has 5177 fatalities (Conetta, 2006).

    There is an unavoidable issue which continues inconclusive, whether Edward Snowden is a whistleblower, or a traitor. Those who support him call him a hero, a man protecting the people. Others view him as nothing but a traitor or defector. The people agree that his actions were unjust and are considered domestic terrorism on the United States. Snowden signed a contract under NSA, which he agreed to keep their secrets but he broke the contract by leaking information to the public. This was an enormous concern to political officials because that information leaked can be used by enemies of the United States.…

    Many of these will be incidents that are examples of the horrors of that day that Lance talks about. His experiences in law enforcement have taught me countless lessons and shown me how many people out there will follow through with violence when they don’t get their way. Though he is always strictly guarded with the confidences of his profession, he has always given me with a firsthand show of the impact that domestic terrorism has on the citizens and law enforcement. I learn the details of some of these incidents without the media’s exaggerations. Some of these facts are not known widely about the infamous bombings. These impacts include the monetary damages that terrorism inflicts, along with the injuries and mental trauma to the victims…

    Before taking this course I had a solid mindset and definition of what I thought was terrorism. I, like many other people in the United States had a stereotypical assumption that all foreigners, especially Muslims and Arabians hated our country and wanted to destroy America and anything and anybody affiliated with it. Upon entering this course, I tried to go in with an un-biased objective, but as we all know that is not always easy, especially when a subject like terrorism is so controversial and sensitive because of traumatic events like September 11, 2001. In my reflection paper of the course I will discuss some topics and issues that I found most interesting and challenging to my critical thinking. I will also discuss my opinions that have changed throughout the semester about terrorism and future plans of the information and knowledge that I gained during the course.…
