Why is terrorism important

From the point of view of the western politics: the threat of terrorism is often used in elections and to justify political actions - understanding the threat of terrorism helps understand the political situation of a country.

From the point of view of the terrorist: they use it as a weapon and a way to attract more members.

From the point of view of the people: terrorist attacks such as in Madrid or NY are a threat to lives, and a threat that needs to be controlled and acted against.

Ifeel like this means that we shouldn't just live for ourselves.also, we should respect others as well as people around us. it reveals that everyone should have equalized freedom, no matter their differences: races, cultures, skin color, etc,. we all deserve the same privileges.
