On November 13th, gunmen and bombers attacked a number of locations throughout Paris, they killed over 130 people, and wounded an even larger amount. ISIS, or IS, claimed responsibility for these attacks. “A group of believers from the soldiers of the Caliphate (may Allah strengthen and support it) set out targeting the capital of prostitution and vice, the lead carrier of the cross in Europe — Paris.” (ISIS Statement 11-14-15). Our fear might actually add fuel to the flame, it is a must that we are not fearful, we ought not to be afraid.
ISIS its basic goal is to hold on to its territory in Syria and Iraq, so why attack Paris?

One explanation, according to Will McCants, is that ISIS is losing territory,
According to Will McCants, (Brookings Institution), ISIS "lost something like 25 percent of their territory" since its peak last summer. This loss, all thanks to airstrikes by an American-led coalition which inculdes France. These airstrikes are very problematic for ISIS, it has strong foreign militaries that are fighting against it, and it doesn’t have an effective way of fighting back. …show more content…

Paris has been the first major foreign target of an ISIS attack. This could be the beginning of an era in which ISIS attacks outside of the Middle East, are more likely to occur. The Paris attacks could be seen as a compensation for territorial loss on ISIS’s side.

Stricking back in a way like this might not be seen as very effective, but in a way, it actually is. Atrocious attacks like these, spread fear. Fear is what makes you or a country do stupid things. Fear is ISIS’s real

Now instead of living happy stories, the boy finally gains knowledge in knowing nothing is happy and perfect. He no longer wants to hear stories his father would tell him, and he also no longer wants to tell his father his stories, instead they sit in silence. He lost his innocence by seeing all the people they have hurt in the process and the cruelties of this post-apocalyptic world. This is similar to the way the whole world lost its innocence because of ISIS.

After a terrorist attack of any kind there are always consequences that must be faced. Sometimes the point of the terrorist attacks is because the organization wished to send a message or to influence policy in their favor. However, after the 9/11 attacks administrators realized that the United States was not prepared for a tragedy of this kind and had little to no measures to prevent one, this lead them to create new programs and policies.

Rhetorical Analysis of ISIS Is Weak In the now viral video that came out three days after the Paris attacks which resulted in 130 murders and over 300 injuries, reporter Waleed Aly states, “ISIL is weak” this statement something most people have difficulty to accept due to recent events that have put most of the world, mainly the west in a state of fear. Aly continues to build his argument pointing out that even though ISIL claims responsibility for the attacks, its should be known this is a reoccurring tactic for them, they take credit for any attack done on western soil to appear bigger, tougher, and stronger than what they really are, they did the same when there were attacks in Canada, New York, and Australia. The reporter goes on to say that ISIL did not control their attackers, because according to their magazine, “it is important that the killing becomes attributed to patrons of the Islamic state who have obeyed its leadership.

Paris has a few different ways of how to avert some of the future terrorist attacks, some I agree with some I don’t. One way I don’t believe in is to have more wars against Islamic countries. I fully believe that, they should not have more wars against Islamic countries because not all Islamic countries are bad just some of the different people because of their own beliefs, and if they do have wars it will only bring more of an uprising. One way I do feel is expectable is to stop supporting the terrorist.

The goal of punishment in the criminal justice system is deterrence and crime prevention, however when the punishment offers no major impact on crime, is extremely costly, exhibits racial bias, and has taken the life of innocent people, (socially and physically) the death penalty is not only viewed as punishment, but as revenge and as murder. Taking a look at the death penalty from a lawyer point of view we have Michael A. Mello, author of Dead Wrong: A Death Row Lawyer Speaks Out Against Capital Punishment. He tells his story of being a professional lawyer, who “worked within the legal system to prevent the state from executing some of its citizens.”

In the four days since extremists slaughtered 129 people in Paris, millions of witnesses — present only through their computer screens — posted prayers and pictures and promised solidarity. For four hours, then five, then six, they trended Twitter hashtags like #PorteOuverte and #PrayforParis. They laid French flags over their Facebook photos and shared images by artists like Jean Jullien.
