People have lived in our planet Earth for centuries and global problems have always existed. (люди живут на нашей планете Земля веками, и глобальные проблемы всегда существуют.)

In ancient times the biggest global problem was wars. (В древние времена самой большой глобальной проблемой были войны)

People have been fighting with each other since beginning of the civilization mostly to get new territories and more land. (Люди сражались друг с другом с начала цивилизации главным образом, чтобы получить новые территории и больше земли.)

Today, there are more global problems which can be divided into two categories: ecological problems and social, economic and political issues. (Сегодня есть много глобальных проблем, которые могут быть разделены на две категории: экологические проблемы и социальные, экономические и политические проблемы/вопросы)

The first category includes issues relating to ecological destruction, pollution and global warming as the result. (Первая категория включает вопросы, относящиеся к экологическому разрушению, загрязнению и глобальному потеплению как результату.)

The climate is changing and many people agree that climate change may be one of the greatest threats facing the planet. (Климат меняется, и многие люди согласны, что климатическое изменение может быть одно из самых больших угроз встретившееся планете.)

Global warming has already killed off some types of animals and plants. (Глобальное потепление уже уничтожило некоторые виды животных и растений)

Rising sea levels are threatening whole nations on islands in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. (Повышение морских уровней угрожает целым народам на остравах в Тихом и Индийском океанах)

The second category of global problems deals with social, economic and political issues. (Вторая категория глобальных проблем касается социальных, экономических и политических вопросов/тем)

They include global terrorism, poverty, human rights, health issues, racism and many others. (Они включают глобальный терроризм, бедность, права человека, вопросы здоровья, расизм и много других)

We are faced with the problem of global terrorism. And more and more countries are suffering from it. (Мы сталкиваемся с проблемой глобального терроризма. И больше и больше стран страдает от него.)

It is difficult to catch terrorists and prevent their acts. (Трудно ловить террористов и предотвращать их действия)

The most terrible terrorist attack took place on September 11, 2001 in the USA. (Самый ужасный террористический акт случился 11 сентября 2001 в США)

The World Trade Centre, one of the sym¬bols of New York City, was destroyed completely and thou¬sands of people died. (Мировой Торговый Центр был полностью разрушен и тысячи людей погибли.)

The world was shocked and most coun¬tries decided to fight against terrorism. However, new terror¬ist attacks have been committed. (Мир был шокирован и большинство стран решило бороться против терроризма. Однако, новые террористические атаки совершаются.)

Poverty is another global problem. The worst situation is in Africa where people (mostly children) die every day of hunger. (Бедность - еще одна глобальная проблема. Самая плохая ситуация в Африке, где люди (главным образом дети) умирают каждый день от голода.)

The poor also have less access to health, education and other services. (Бедняк также имеет меньший доступ к здравоохранению, образованию и другому обслуживанию)

Incurable diseases and epidemics also are global challenge for humanity. (Неизлечимые болезни и эпидемии также являются глобальным вызовом/проблемой для человечества.)

Another global problem is racism, when people of different races and different skin colour are humiliated and even killed. (еще одна глобальная проблема - расизм, когда люди различных рас и цвета кожи унижаемы и даже убиваемы.)

There are many organisations that fight social global problems, but this battle has lasted for a long time and it will take much time for the solution of all of them. (Есть много организаций, которые борются с социальными глобальными проблемами, но эта борьба длится долгое время и будет занимать много времени для решения всех из них)

We live in the 21st century and humanity has made a great progress in technology, so I think that it is strange that we still have global problems, especially the ones that deal with social, economic and political issues. (Мы живем в 21 веке, и человечество сделало большой прогресс в технологии, поэтому я полагаю, странно, что мы все еще имеем глобальные проблемы, особенно те, которые имеют отношение к социальным, экономическим и политическим вопросам.)

I am sure that they can be solved completely without any conflicts or wars. (Я уверена, что они могут быть решены без каких-либо конфликтов или войн.)

Терроризм и экстремизм – это одна из самых глобальных проблем ХХI века. Это прямая угроза всему обществу! В современном мире есть множество преступных группировок, прибегающих к террору. Таким образом, они применяют воздействие на тех, кто находится у верхушки власти и на простой народ. Их цель напугать народ своими противоправными действиями, которые зачастую являются немало масштабными.

На сегодняшний день, проблема террора переросла в мировую проблему, стоящую практически в первых рядах. Последствия данного действия губительны и удивляют своей жестокостью и циничностью, и чем дальше, тем хуже, больнее! Если задуматься, то, к сожалению, нет ни одной страны в мире, которую не коснулась бы данная проблема. И, что самое страшное, искоренить эту проблему, увы, пока никак нельзя.

Бывают моменты, когда террористы прикрывают свой акт хорошими замыслами (они встали на защиту родной земли, на которой они живут; защищают народ от нападок агрессора). Но в большинстве своем, данные террористические акты – являют собой незаконное обогащение и решение проблем с определенными личностями.

Я думаю, что многие помнят теракт, произошедший 23 октября 2002 года в столице РФ, назвали его «Норд-Ост» (именно на этом мюзикле и захватили всех, кто там находился). Около тысячи людей были в заключении до 26 октября. Боевики угрожали всем и взрослым, и детям, они были с разнообразным вооружением. По официальным данным, вследствие данного теракта погибло 130 человек, а сколько же еще будут помнить данное событие, сколькие люди до сих пор не могут спать спокойно и сколько людей потеряли своих близких…

И это лишь один случай, который описан, а сколько же их еще? Сколько еще будет «Норд-Остов», «Бесланов» и «Башен близнецов»..?

Данное действие, такое как терроризм, представляет в себе огромную угрозу для всего человечества, ведь сами преступники в большей части своей не доживают до старости или же проводят оставшиеся годы в местах лишения свободы. Вот не смотря на это все, их ремесло живо и не приходит к концу.

Борьба с терроризмом тяжела и порой кажется, что она напоминает действие из сказки, где ложкой, в которой просверлена дыра необходимо было осушить реку, но это не повод опускать руки и пустить все на самотек! Борьба с терроризмом – спасение жизни невинных людей!

Сочинение на тему Терроризм - зло против человечества

Терроризм – явление современного общества, направленное против человека. Терроризм вызывает ужас тем, что как правило влечёт за собой большое количество человеческих жертв, многочисленные разрушения, провоцирует вражду между различными странами, народами, социальными группами.

Терроризм - это большая проблема 21 века уносящая с собой сотни людских жизней. К сожалению, террористические акты являются одним из самых эффективных методов устрашения. Их появление провоцируют совершенно разные причины, будь то различия в восприятии мира, религии или культуры.

С каждым годом террористические акты становятся более жестокими, а их численность возрастает. Но самым ужасным является тот факт, что террористы как правило выбирают своими жертвами невиновных мирных граждан. Понятие «терроризм» появилось в конце18 века, хотя, как явление существовало всегда.

Борьба с террористическими организациями является одной из самых главных задач в дела защиты человеческих прав.

Каждый из нас знает, что существуют не только террористические акты, организованные группой лиц, но организованные всего лишь одним человеком- террористом-смертником. Такие теракты особо опасны, так как оказывают особо разрушительное воздействие на психическое состояние людей, а особенно на психику людей, которые стали свидетелями такого теракта.

Что же движет террористами? Можно ли найти оправдания их зверским поступкам? Против кого или чего направленна их агрессия? На эти вопросы пока нет ответа. Но можно предположить, что террористами управляет мания величества и богатства. Но что же тогда руководит террористами-смертниками?

Я думаю, что эти люди лишь пешки в большой политической игре, ведь ни власть ни деньги не будут нужны им после смерти.

Терроризм - это зло приносящее горе, страдание и многочисленные потери. И с этим нужно бороться…

Дни памяти жертв терактов, встречи с очевидцами, свидетелями событий…Это важные мероприятия, которые могут помочь в борьбе с терроризмом. Но важно помнить, что борьба с терроризмом, это дело не одного дня, это то явление которые требует более глубокого изучения. Для того, чтобы эффективно бороться с терроризмом нужно построить механизм противодействия, узнать о природе этого понятия.

Я считаю, что полностью истребить терроризм в 21 веке будет тяжело и пройдет ещё очень много времени прежде чем это понятие исчезнет навсегда…

Terrorism is a term used to describe violence or the perception or threat of imminent violence.

Виды терроризма. Types of Terrorism.

  • Civil Disorders – A form of collective violence interfering with the peace, security, and normal functioning of the community.
  • Political Terrorism – Violent criminal behaviour designed primarily to generate fear in the community, or substantial segment of it, for political purposes.
  • Non-Political Terrorism – Terrorism that is not aimed at political purposes but which exhibits “conscious design to create and maintain high degree of fear for coercive purposes, but the end is individual or collective gain rather than the achievement of a political objective”.
  • Quasi-Terrorism – The activities incidental to the commission of crimes of violence that are similar in form and method to genuine terrorism but which nevertheless lack its essential ingredient. It is not the main purpose of the quasi-terrorists to induce terror in the immediate victim as in the case of genuine terrorism, but the quasi-terrorist uses the modalities and techniques of the genuine terrorist and produces similar consequences and reaction. For example, the fleeing felon who takes hostages is a quasi-terrorist, whose methods are similar to those of the genuine terrorist but whose purposes are quite different.
  • Limited Political Terrorism – Genuine political terrorism is characterized by a revolutionary approach; limited political terrorism refers to “acts of terrorism which are committed for ideological or political motives but which are not part of a concerted campaign to capture control of the State.
  • Official or State Terrorism – referring to nations whose rule is based upon fear and oppression that reach similar to terrorism or such proportions.”

Terrorist attacks are often targeted to maximize fear and publicity. They usually use explosives or poison, but there is
also concern about terrorist attacks using weapons of mass destruction. Terrorist organizations usually methodically plan attacks in advance, and may train participants, plant «undercover» agents, and raise money from supporters or
through organized crime. Communication may occur through modern telecommunications, or through old-fashioned
methods such as couriers.

The 11th of September, 2001

On Tuesday morning, September 11, 2001 terrorists attacked America in a series of despicable acts of war. They hijacked
four passenger jets, crashed two of them into the World Trade Center’s twin Towers and a third into the Headquarter of the US Department of Defense at the Pentagon, causing great loss of life and tremendous damage. The fourth plane crashed in the Pennsylvania countryside killing all on board but falling well short of its intended target apparently because of the heroic efforts of passengers on board. This carriage which caused.

The collapse of both Trade Center Towers and the destruction of part of the Pentagon killed more than 250 airplane passengers and thousands more on the ground. The newspapers were head-lined: “US attacked”, “America’s bloodiest day”, “Terrorists in jet killed thousands”, “Terrorists destroyed World Trade Center, hit Pentagon in raid with
hijacked jet”. Civilized people around the world denounce the evildoers who devised and expected these
terrible attacks. Justice demands that those who helped the terrorists must be punished. The USA uses all the resources of the country and allies to pursue those responsible for this evil, until justice is done. Everybody mourns with those who have suffered great. Nowdays the 11th of September is observed as A National Day of Prayer and Remembrance, honoring the memory of the thousands of victims of these brutal attacks.


Terrorism Essay, Research Paper

1)It is very difficult to resolve the international problem of terrorism

for several major reasons.

Terrorists usually don’t claim responsibility for their actions until

the fuse is lit, it’s not a case of Jack The Ripper sending an ear to the cops

and warning them who his next victim will be. Terrorists usually do claim

responsibility for their actions after the media is aware that something

happened, this gains recognition for their cause, which is often the reason they

resort to terrorism in the first place. These groups are often underground and

individuals rarely step forward, how can you arrest an entire group that you

Governments endorsing terrorist acts and providing a safe house for them

once they’re on the run just adds to the problem. Hijackers can take their

hostages, get the ransom and fly the plane to the country of their choice. That

country is usually ready to welcome the criminal, for a small cut of the ransom.

Algeria used terrorism as a business to raise capital. By providing immunity,

they became a haven for terrorists. Many Middle Eastern countries resort to

terrorism when dealing with other nations. Saudi Arabia sponsors Islamic

terrorists to lay siege to Egypt. Terrorism is a means of influencing

international relations.

How can you prevent acts of terrorism when those paid to protect the

people are among the guilty? The Ku Klux Klan is a prime example of police

corruption and a government that turned its’ back on its’ people. Dirty cops and

prejudicial governments provided the fuel that burnt black churches of the

Southern States in the past. Many white citizens were not members of the Ku

Klux Klan, but most whites were reluctant to take a stand against the Klan until

the KKK’s acts of violence began to threaten whites who were not white

supremacists. When whites began to oppose the Klan, they went underground and

were thought to have disbanded but they arose again before the first war and

once more during the civil rights movements of the 1960’s. This problem has

arose again as Negro churches have again been targeted by arsonists. The police

have been unable to solve the majority of these crimes.

Hitler and his Nazi Regime could possibly be the worst example of a

government applying acts of terrorism on its people. When those at the top are

corrupt, how can the people defend themselves? Hitler’s methods and ideologies

have made him one of the most feared and hated men in history. Stalin also used

acts of terrorism on his people. His death squads that patrolled the streets at

night and annihilated the homeless was supposedly done for a good cause. I

think that is very questionable.

Negotiating with terrorists can also be bewildering. Recently Prime

Minister John Major of Britain and Prime Minister John Bruton of Ireland were

engaging in peace talks with the Irish political party Sinn Fein. Sinn Fein is

the oldest Irish political party and has been striving for the independence of

Ireland for years. They were founded in 1905 and have representatives in every

major Irish town, they are considered to be the political wing of the Irish

Republican Army. Sinn Fein claims to have genuinely sought after peace but

continuing British bad faith has caused the IRA to act. The British deny these

accusations of bad faith and became puzzled when the IRA broke a long standing

cease fire with a bombing in the urban center of Manchester.

Negotiations can be impossible in the case of suicide bombers. Many

Japanese Cults can not be traced. Though their agents are always caught, they

can never be questioned. Suicide is deemed heroic by the Japanese, the Japanese

cult Aum Supreme Truth used sarin nerve gas on a Tokyo subway to cause terror,

other previous Japanese cults have committed mass suicide at the order from

their leader to avoid interrogation and incarceration. Often these leaders have

some type of mind control on their followers.

Some countries don’t bother negotiating with terrorists. They take a

stance where if the terrorist asks for a million bucks they get squat. The

United States has a policy that is meant to deter terrorist-acts, no

negotiations, no mercy.

2) My position on this topic is anti-terrorism because terrorism is an unethical

method of gaining money or stealing publicity for a cause. Terrorists are

bullies that prey on the fears of the innocent. They drag women and children

into their wars with little concern for the lives that they shatter. They get

what they want by endangering the people that their enemies are responsible for.

The threat of a terrorist bomb is as petty as black mail.

Terrorists don’t need to resort to violence, they should negotiate

first. If they are a developing country crying for help, they should use the

media to get the word out. I am sure that foreign countries would rather lend a

hand rather than dealing with terrorists.

Terrorists are wrong because they target the defenseless, they cause

fear, death and destruction among the public and if they’re not fighting for a

cause, their motives are probably greed.

Terrorists may not directly kill millions of people, but the spark that

started many wars came from a terrorists match, foremost the assassination of

Arch Duke Ferdinand.

3) Seven important questions that could adequately describe terrorism are:

1. What police groups are involved in preventing international crime?

2. Do governments give in to the demands of terrorists?

3. Do certain countries and their governments endorse terrorist

4. What methods do terrorists use and what do they accomplish?

5. Where are felons tried for committing international crimes?

6. Which countries are heavily troubled by terrorist acts?

7. What are the names, leaders and methods of prevalent terrorist

groups globally?

4)Information answering the seven preceding questions:

1. Most countries have their own agencies for dealing with terrorism, but one

global force that deals with terrorist activities is Interpol. Interpol is a

global police agency that links the police forces of the world. They trade

information and relay suspect information amongst each other. This makes it

difficult for hijackers landing in foreign countries to get away. Interpol

relays messages through a central intelligence system that filters down into

the systems of each countries police stations. By sharing information and man

power international crime becomes less appealing to criminals thanks to interpol.

Peru has a new anti-terrorist directorate called Dincote. General Maximo Rivera

Diaz has established this new ?Delta? force to shut down the terrorist activity

of the Shining Path in Lima. Prior to it’s break up, Russia had virtually no

terrorist problem because of the efficiency of their secret service, the KGB.

Now that the former Soviet Union is in shambles, terrorism in Russia is becoming

2. Depending on the severity of the case governments must make a decision on

handling affairs with terrorists, pay them, hold out or send in an anti-

terrorist group to neutralize the situation. One country that stands out from

the rest is The United States of America. They stand by a policy that does not

give terrorists what they want, which would divert greedy terrorists from the

States. Clinton began a harsh anti-terrorist bill as a result of the Oklahoma

bombing. He wishes to make terrorism a priority among the police and other crime

fighting agencies such as the FBI. He wishes to accomplish this by giving these

forces the best surveillance equipment and crime fighting tools available. A

chemical applied to all bomb making chemicals would make bombs apparent at

airport check points and would cut down on hijacking. He also wishes to bar

products from countries that endorse terrorism.

3.Terrorists and governments occasionally work hand in hand. Algeria brought in

large sums of money by housing terrorists. Hamas is terrorist group working in

the Middle East. It was formed in 1987. They conduct attacks on Israeli military

and civilian groups, disrupting politics and causing explosions. The group is

large, with thousands of sympathetic supporters. They also receive aid from

Saudi Arabia and Iran. The Palestine Islamic Jihad is a similar group working in

the Middle East. They act to form an Islamic Palestinian State and to destroy

Israel through a ?Holy War?.. Their strength is unknown but they have been linked

to Syria and Iran. The Palestine Liberation Organization(PLO) has been around

since 1969. Yassir Arafat became the chairman and still holds the position today.

This group has a more global range of actions, but is basically striving for the

same goals and also has ties to middle eastern nations. Another group banded

with Saudi Arabia is The Tigers Of The Gulf. It is highly secretive and little

is know but it is anti-American, and it is aided by Saudi Arabia.

4.Terrorists use a broad spectrum of methods to get their jobs done. Most of

them either gain recognition for the terrorists cause or throw a kink in someone

else’s plans, this would usually further the terrorists cause, for example

assassinating a rival political leader would give your leader a better chance.

Assassinations by terrorists are usually aimed at someone in the spotlight that

the media will react to. It is also often a member of the terrorists rival or

someone close to him, like the assassination of the Czar and his family in

Russia. Guerrilla warfare is also considered an act of terrorism, this would

almost classify the Vietnam war as a terrorist’s war. Bombing is also a

preferred method of destruction used by many terrorist groups, at the front of

these is probably the IRA. Bombs leave little evidence and a large margin for

error. Hijacking and kidnapping are also strong ways for terrorists to make

demands and gain money. Kidnapping can be used to push the buttons of

influential people and hijacking works as kidnapping with an escape route. Both

of these are often used to trade the hostages for the freedom of imprisoned

group members. Threats and propaganda are also widely spread by mainstream

5. International terrorists don’t care about police jurisdiction, but it does

make a difference. Committing a crime in one country may have altogether

different punishments than those of a different country, as the boy who was

caned in Singapore found out all too well. The internationally renown guerrilla

troop and terrorist, Carlos The Jackal, was captured and arrested on bomb

related charges. He is from Venezuela but has caused trouble in several

countries and they all want his hide. France is the lucky country that gets to

punish him because he was captured and convicted in France. The criminal is

charged in the country that he commits the crime in, they often seek citizenship

in foreign countries to gain protection, much like the two men in Canada that

are wanted by Bangladesh for committing murders. Both men are now Canadian

citizens and refuse to return because they fear they will not have a fair trial.

Canada has to make a decision now on whether to honor The Country of Bangladesh

or to honor the rights of the two men.

6.Every country has some degree of terrorist activity, be it large or small. The

Middle East seems to be a hot spot for terrorist activities, maybe due to many

of the nations’ roles in hiring terrorists to join their side than to perform

dirty work for that government. There are also many disgruntled minorities that

use terrorism as a way to get what they want. Japan has it’s own problems with

cult-religious groups that resort to terrorist acts. These groups are often

related to suicide bombers and such, kind of a modern day kami kaze. Areas of

Europe also suffer from high rates of terrorist activity, many stemming back

from the territorial and religious disputes of times long ago. Monarchy seems to

be the enemy of the majority of European terrorists. The States also gets its

share of terror, some domestic but much from overseas, their policies help keep

the levels low. More people die in bath tub accidents than from terrorism in the

States. Canada is even scathed by the knife of terrorism. The FLQ was Canada’s

most dominant and violent terrorist group, though short lived they created a

stir in Francophone relations with the rest of Canada.

7.-The Shining Path is a highly organized terrorist group with coordinated

tactics, but a low violence level. Their leader, Abimael Guzman, was captured by

the Peruvian government. Guzman’s capture has lead to the re-election of the

countries’ president Alberto Fujimori.

The Provisional Irish Republican Army(IRA) is active in Northern Ireland but

carries out it’s actions in Great Britain. They often rely on bombs to get their

point across, their main goal is the independence of Ireland from Great Britain,

and the unification of Ireland. The Northern Irish(IRA) want freedom and

independence for themselves and their Protestant religion while the Southern

Irish don’t want to leave and wish to remain united with Britain. The IRA was

falsely accused of being hand in hand with the Nazi’s during the war. The IRA

does have ties though, they are allied with the Irish political party Sinn Fein

which handles the groups political affairs and negotiating.

The Red Army Faction is a German based group which originated in the 1960’s.

Their ideology is a combination of theories from both Marx and Maoism. The

result is a commitment to armed struggle. The group announced that it would end

it’s terrorist activities in 1992. While the group was active they engaged in

bombings, kidnappings, assassinations, robberies and has targeted both German

and American governments. They were even bold enough to attempt to assassinate

the head of NATO, Alexander Haig. The RAF has several hard-core cadres that

carry out their terrorist missions as well as a large civilian following that

spreads the groups propaganda. The group has survived over the years despite the

repeated capture of it’s highest ranking members. The RAF has ties with several

middle eastern terrorist factions and a very strong tie with GRAPO of Spain.

They are attempting to destroy western capitalism and promote world wide Marxism.

The True Teaching of Aum/Supreme Truth of Aum is a Japanese based faction that

was formed in 1987 by Shoko Asahara. It was recognized as a religious group in

1989. It was headquartered in a small farming village near the base of Mount

Fuji. It contains five branches scattered among 130 sites. It’s membership is

estimated 10,000 in Japan, 30,000 in Russia and about 100 in Manhattan. They

practice a doctrine of Hinduism and Buddhism and they follow a goddess named

Shiva, lord of destruction and regeneration. They believe the world will end

some time in 1997. They were the group responsible for the sarin gas attacks on

Tokyo metro systems that hurt thousands. The groups current leader Shoko Asahara

5)Some would say that terrorism is a valiant deed, the ultimate sacrifice for

ones cause, the only thing that a terrorist sacrifices is the lives of the

innocent, the terrorist is a butcher of human rights. Others would also say

terrorism is an act of retaliation, well two wrongs don’t make a right. If a

terrorist organisation responds to a terrorist attack against themselves with

another act of terrorism, what do you think the other groups response will be?

This situation is currently occuring in Great Britain, the Irish accuse the

English of something and act, the English deny it and accuse the Irish of

commiting unwarranted attacks and responds. This conflict has been raging for

years and no end is in sight since the ceasefire was broken. What if a

developing nation has no resources or commodity to trade to the rest of the

world, wouldn’t you take foriegn hostages to make enough money to feed your

country? I believe that foriegn countries would rather help to solve the crisis

before it reached the stage where terrorism would be put into effect.

Negotiations prior to the problem’s begining could benefit both sides of the

6)Three case studies that would provide further insight into the world of

terrorism would be:

The FLQ’s affect on Francophone relations with the rest of Canada. Did the

kidnapping and assassination of government officials gain anything? Did it

actually hurt Quebec’s dealings with English speaking Canadians or was it

neccesary? How long did the FLQ remain active and how many members did they

have? Did the Front de Liberationd pour Quebec have the people of the province

The IRA has been battling for it’s freedom for years. Does each bomb they place

bring them closer to freedom or does it push their goal further apart? Would

peaceful negotiations reach their goal faster or is violence their last resort?

Finally is freedom worth that much? Thousands of lives have been lost over a

grudge between nations, could it all have been avoided with a little bit of

Japanese religious cults have even less mercy than the brutal terrorists of the

west. Can you blame a terrorist when his actions are being influenced? Should

religious cults be shut down before they reach the terorrist stage? Chemicals

used to make bombs and gas like sarin could be marked in the manufacturing stage,

could this avoid the entire probleb?

7)Terrorism is a terrible deed, sometimes committed in the name of a not so

terrible cause. I feel terrorists use their cause to gain the sympathy of the

people, the masses can add to success of a terrorist groups cause. Compromising

values to achieve a goal is wrong, many terrorists act because their human

rights were disturbed, what are they doingwhen they take hostages? Sometimes the

cause is good but the method is always wrong if terrorism is resorted to.


We can"t call today"s world a safe world. Many dangers come from nature, I mean floods, earthquakes and so on. But people are also dangerous for each other.
Unfortunately, there are some people who don"t stop at anything to achieve their aims. They even think "the more victims the better". Our country was one of the first to have terrorist attacks. I mean the attacks in Moscow when two apartment houses were destroyed. There were acts of terrorism in all parts of the world at the end of the 20th century: in Japan, in England and in France.


But certainly the day that shook the world was the 11th of September 2001. Two American planes had been hijacked by terrorists. The first plan slammed into the north tower of the World Trade Centre. The second crashed into the south tower of the World Trade Center. And soon the towers collapsed . It was unbelievable, it was a nightmare. Words fail to describe what I felt when I watched TV: some people jumped out of the windows, others waved their handkerchiefs helplessly. Thousands of people were killed and hundreds of people injured . There also were hundreds of victims in the planes themselves. The acts of mass murder as president Bush said, were intended to frighten the nation. Certainly terrorist attacks shook the foundation of the highest building but they didn"t shake the foundation of America. Though as I think they made the country more aggressive. I mean the war in Iraq. There were many victims there too - peaceful women, old men and children.
Of course, it is necessary to find those who had arranged the terrorist acts in New York. They say that Osama bin Laden had been coordinating terrorist attacks against the USA. If it is true he should be punished. The acts of terrorism show that even strong countries having nuclear weapons are not protected against terrorism.
It seems to me that good people all over the world should join their forces and fight terrorism. Only together we can win. The government of all countries should have special funds for fighting terrorism. Certainly, the police in Western countries and our milicia should work better in order to prevent terrorist attacks. We had a very bad example in Moscow when armed terrorists entered the building where the performance Nord-Ost took place. Many peaceful people suffered. There were more than a hundred victims.
I wish our world were safer and we all felt more protected.

Today"s world is often called the computer world. We cannot imagine our life without computers. The first computers were developed during the Second World War. They were used to break the codes, used to send secret information.

Our world is really a small world. Modern transport facilities make it possible to reach any part of our planet within a few hours. People have to communicate and solve common problems in all the spheres of political life, economy and culture. Communication is an interaction of cultures. The knowledge of each other"s culture and traditions is very often important for successful business and political talks. We, Russians, very often surprise our foreign partners by our behavior and manners.

Unemployment is a very urgent problem today. Years ago when a man left school he learnt some job and did this job all his life. He could be sure that his job would be needed to his dying day.
