Terrorism: Is It Getting Better? -- Shiho, Tamon & Owen

 

We believe terrorism is getting worse. We’d like to introduce three graphs to support this point. The first one shows that Incidents and deaths from terrorism in the Sahel, 2007-2021.






Unfortunately, Sahel has become the new epicenter of terrorism because of the lack of enough water and food, also a weak government. From 2017 to 2021, the numbers of incidents and deaths dramatically rose. If the problems that are lack of water and food don’t be solved, terrorisms will be happens in the future.




The second one is about where the accident of terrorism was happened.


As you can see, about 40% of accident of terrorism was happened in the Middle East like Iraq or Afghanistan, which means it tend to be happening in developing countries. Unless the disparity between developing and developed countries is eliminated, terrorist incidents will not decrease and will get worse.


The third graph shows what the terrorists are targeting. This chart shows that the main reasons for terrorism are religious and political reasons. However, as globalization progresses, people's ways of thinking are becoming more diverse. Hence, religions and politics also become more diverse. In a diverse society, it is clear that differences of opinion will occur.


For these reasons, we believe terrorism will be getting worse.

    I understand the idea "If the problems that are lack of water and food don’t be solved, terrorisms will be happens in the future". I think we have to think about ways to support these countries.

    Thank you for a really good research. Solving causes of terrorism is so challenging because of its opaque, but I think the most important thing is making a concession each other politically and religiously.

    I also think that terrorism is getting worse in the world. I have a question about the first graph. Why did the number of incidents and deaths dramatically decrease in 2017?

    Your interpretation of these graphs is really interesting. I agree with you that the Sahel is an area characterized by hunger and thirst, and no doubt such deprivation provides a fertile ground for extremism to grow.
    In interpreting the 3rd graph about the ideological motivation of terrorist groups you say that globalization is making for more diverse societies which makes conflict between groups more likely. On the other hand, one might argue that diversity provides the opportunity for learning about each other, which may lead to greater understanding and harmony. David :-)

About Me -- Yugo Konno

Image
  My name is Yugo Konno.  I am from Tokyo and 20 years old now. I am living  with the White family in St. Clair. My impression of Dunedin is that there are many spectacular sceneries and kind people. My favorite subject in high school was world history. I took this course to improve my writing and listening English skills. I like cycling because it makes me so excited. What I dislike is having a part-time job because it’s so boring. My only one advantage is that once I start something, I never stop in the middle. One of my disadvantages is that when I am engaged in something, I am often unable to see anything else around me.

       Hello. My name is Usa Yamagami . Please call me Usa. I am 20 years old now. I live in Belleknowes , Dunedin with Barbara and Kelvin, and their son, Phoenix. As soon as I arrived, I thought it was very cold! And I envy New Zealanders because they have a lot of lands. I came from Osaka, Japan, and it is cramped with a lot of buildings. In fact, when I was in high school, Japanese was my favorite of all subjects. Because I like Japanese novels and comics. However, I wanted to try to read Japanese manga in English, so I decided to study English hard. My hobby is listening to music, watching a movie, reading books, and talking to people. Lately, I have been into ''Murder Mystery''. I have made many friends on Twitter who share the same interests. If you don't know about it, please check it out. I don’t like cooking and cleaning, so I think I can’t live alone! 😂   My good point is that I have self-paced, and I think my bad point is also self-paced. Finally, I ...

About me -- Shiho Matsuura

  Hello, class! I’m Shiho and from Japan. Also, I’m 19 years old and now live in Kaikorai with Hilary who is my host mother. I have impressed a nature, a view from my home and a wood stove. I like Dunedin because there’s no high buildings and Dunedin is a beautiful streetscape. Sometimes, I miss Japan and soaking in the bathwater. My favorite subject was Japanese because I like classic so in Japanese classes I could read Japanese classic literature. I chose this course because I want to improve my English enough to discuss difficult problems. Also, my hobby is dance and I love music. For example, I often listen to rhythm and blue and also my host mother likes music so we sometimes listen it together. I’m good at finding nice teas so If anyone want to know delicious teas, let me know! On the other hand, I’m hopeless at waking up early morning so 1 st class that start 9 am is a little hard for me. In conclusion, my goal is improving my English and become a person who understand ...
