Alan Dershowitz begins his article “ Should the Ticking Bomb Terrorist Be Tortured” by questioning whether one person can be tortured to save the lives of many others. Dershowitz displays both sides of the argument before shifting the question. Dershowitz asserts that the question is not if torture should be used on a ticking bomb terrorist, rather the question is whether the torture is done openly under a legal framework or secretly and illegally. He then simplifies the conflict to the prioritization of values. While the argument that Dershowitz constructs seems to leave very little room for disagreement, there are ways in which to collapse his entire premise.
Chapter 4: The Statistics Behind Stealth Campaigns The battle between Christian Right politicians and anti-Christian Right politicians has been a long one, most distinguishably beginning in the 1920s with the clash between evolutionists and anti-evolutionists (pp. 3). While this issue is still in debate, modern day attention is being drawn to “stealth campaigns” – that is, as paraphrased from page 83 of School Board Battles, Christian Right political candidates’ downplay of their connections to Christian coalitions and exaggeration of their moderate viewpoints to the public, all while organizing voters in conservative churches. The subject is controversial and one of the main topics discussed in Melissa Deckman’s book, School Board Battles.

This paper will compare and contrast the Red Scare of 1919 compared to the attack of America’s security and well-being on 9/11. The first comparison is that both were terroristic threats and involved spiritual persuasion of different religions on U.S. soil. The first part of the red scare was following the Bolshevik Russian Revolution of 1917 and the years following world war one. Authorities in April of 1919 found a plot for shipping thirty six bombs to members of the establishment of J.P. Morgan. In the year of 1919 on June 2, eight bombs went off in eight separate cities.
The fictional yet extremely plausible story effectively supports the argument by including well known places, playing on stereotypes, detailing every step taken by the terrorist and maintaining a timeline throughout the story. Such a convincing narrative told in the present tense allows the reader to imagine him or herself in such a situation and thus accept its plausibility. In an effort to further make the issue of bioterrorism more personal for the reader, the authors utilize the third person throughout the text. By personally involving the reader in the issues of biosciences and rapidly advancing technology as well as directing a difficult question of safety at the reader, we can see that the argument relies heavily on emotions of panic and

Syed Rizwan Farook -- who along with his wife, Tashfeen Malik, carried out the San Bernardino shooting massacre -- apparently was radicalized and in touch with people being investigated by the FBI for international terrorism, law enforcement officials said Thursday. Farook 's apparent radicalization contributed to his role in the mass shooting of 14 people Wednesday during a holiday party for the San Bernardino County health department, where Farook worked, sources said. Still, it wasn 't necessarily the only driver behind the carnage, as workplace grievances may have also played a role. President Barack Obama hinted as much Thursday when he said that the attackers may have had "mixed motives." David Bowditch, assistant director in charge of the FBI 's Los Angeles office, told reporters Thursday that
“The world changed on September 11, 2001. We learned that a threat that gathers on the other side of the earth could strike our own cities and kill our own citizens. It is an important lesson; one we can never forget. Oceans no longer protect America from the dangers of this world. We are protected by daily vigilance at home.
“Researches believe domestic lone wolf terrorists are fundamentally different than organized international terrorist groups” ().

Two theories that probably relate the best are the interactionist and the conflict theorist. The interactionist is primarily concerned with fundamental or everyday forms of interaction, including symbols and other types of nonverbal communication. One of the main assumptions of the interactionists, which directly relates to this article, is that we act according to our own interpretation of reality. The people and domestic terrorist groups described in this article all act the way they do because their interpretation of reality is to wipe out e.g. the government, or other groups of people. They are manipulating symbols and are creating their social worlds through interaction with other group members.

In Western society today, one of the most misconstrued topics that is discussed in the news is terrorism. The Criminal Code of Canada defines terrorism as, “an act committed, in whole or in part, for a political, religious or ideological purpose, objective or cause with the intention of intimidating the public” (Government of Canada, 2015). Despite the clarity of this definition, the general North American population has misconceived the usage of this word, and instead, labels acts of terror as different – and often, less harsh – words.

This ideology continues into Canada as more people question,
