1.Summary
Terrorism is a violent act of achieving political, religious, and ideological goals through fear, which leaves deep scars and fears in the hearts of the people. Terrorists try to achieve their goals through physical violence, explosives, kidnapping, and assassination, and are carried out to urge political change or to achieve certain political goals. The core goal of terrorism is to create widespread fear and anxiety beyond direct damage. Various forms of terrorism greatly affect the minds of the people. Political terrorism is carried out with the aim of overthrowing a government or political system, and the people experience political anxiety and confusion. Religious terrorism is carried out to achieve religious goals, often amplifying conflicts and mistrust between religions, leading to social division. Ethnic terrorism is carried out by groups seeking national self-determination or independence, and people feel anxious amid conflicts and clashes between peoples. Ideological terrorism is carried out to spread or defend certain ideologies or ideas, and deepens ideological conflicts in society, causing confusion and fear in the minds of the people.The causes of terrorism include political oppression, economic inequality, religious extremism, and social dissatisfaction. Terrorism can occur when a government or political system suppresses or discriminates against a particular group, when poverty and economic inequality worsen, when certain religious beliefs are interpreted and practiced to the extreme, and when dissatisfaction with social alienation or discrimination builds up. These causes instill anxiety and frustration in the minds of the people, and amplify fears of terrorism.
2.Interesting
The most interesting part of today's lesson is that war seems to have happened only in the past, and I thought it was unlikely in the modern era, but it was not. This stems from a number of reasons. First, it is because political conflicts and power struggles still exist. Territorial disputes between countries, conflicts of political ideology, and conflicts over the concentration and dispersion of power are one of the main causes of the war. For example, the Russia-Georgia war or the Ukraine conflict are modern wars caused by political power and territorial problems. Second, economic interests also play an important role. With natural resources, trade, and competition for economic dominance lead to conflicts between countries. In the case of the Iraq War, economic factors related to the control of oil resources played an important role. Economic inequality and poverty can also trigger internal conflicts, which often lead to civil wars or rebellions. Third, religious and ethnic conflicts remain serious problems. Conflicts over religious extremism and the right to national self-determination incite violence within the region, which often escalate into international conflicts. The Syrian civil war is a complicated case of religious and ethnic conflicts, which have been compounded by the involvement of various external forces. Fourth, the rise of terrorism and asymmetric warfare is also an important feature of modern warfare. Asymmetric warfare in which non-state actors fight the traditional national army is an important aspect of modern warfare. The war in Afghanistan began in response to terrorism, leading to long-term military intervention and a complicated civil war. Finally, the international community's structural problems and lack of response also play a part. Although international organizations are trying to maintain peace, effective intervention is often difficult due to conflicts of interest and political limitations. The United Nations' peacekeeping operations sometimes run into their limits, causing the conflict to become prolonged. These multiple factors work in combination, and wars continue to occur even today. The war still causes great suffering and destruction to humanity, and international cooperation and understanding are desperately needed to solve them. In order to create a peaceful world, efforts must be made to comprehensively solve political, economic, and social problems and to prevent conflicts.
3.Discussion
What I would like to discuss with my classmates is, 'How can we stop a war? Can we stop it?' Stopping a war requires various approaches and efforts. It requires an integrated strategy that comprehensively considers political, economic, social, and cultural factors. There is a possibility to stop a war, but it will only be possible through continuous and multifaceted efforts. First, international cooperation and diplomacy are important. Diplomatic dialogue and negotiations are essential in resolving disputes between countries. International organizations, especially organizations such as the United Nations, can play an important role in maintaining peace and resolving disputes. In addition, powerful countries should go beyond their own interests and actively participate in mediation and negotiations for international peace. Second, economic equality and development are needed. Poverty and economic inequality are one of the major causes of war. To solve these problems, the international community should cooperate to support the economic development of developing countries and promote fair trade and resource allocation. Economic prosperity brings social stability, and this is an important factor in preventing war. Third, exchanges of education and culture can play an important role in stopping the war. Education removes prejudice and ignorance, and helps us understand different cultures and ideologies. Cultural exchanges can contribute to reducing conflicts by promoting understanding and respect among different peoples and countries.
Fourth, it is necessary to establish human rights and the rule of law. In a society where human rights are respected and the rule of law is established, conflicts are more likely to be resolved peacefully. The international community should make efforts to prevent human rights violations and strengthen the rule of law. This allows governments to protect their citizens' rights and lay the groundwork for legally resolving disputes. Fifth, disarmament and arms control are also important factors. The proliferation of weapons and arms race increase the risk of war. The international community should step up efforts to prevent the spread of weapons of mass destruction, such as nuclear weapons, and curb arms race through arms control agreements. The reduction of military power helps to reduce the likelihood of war and promote peace. These efforts to stop a war are not easy and will face many obstacles and challenges. However, peace is not simply a state of no war, but a state of justice and prosperity. In order to stop a war, the international community should continue to cooperate, and each country should make efforts to maintain peace and stability within its own country. Stopping wars altogether is a challenging task, but there is ample potential to reduce the frequency of wars and build a sustainable peace through this integrated approach.
