| Synopsis: |
Terrorism has become one of the most pressing concerns of our day. For over a century, some radical groups have used terrorist attacks to draw attention to their causes, using violence to get their voices heard. Although the purpose of these groups is to grab the attention of a government and force it to consider their demands for change, the people caught in the middle of a terrorist attack usually know or care little about the political reasons behind the violence. In some parts of the world, terrorist attacks, such as bombings, are almost a way of life. After the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, Americans became very concerned about terrorism as well. For those whose lives have been forever changed by terrorism - someone who has survived a suicide bombing in Israel or Palestine or someone who lived through the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City on September 11, 2001, for example - the political reasons for the attack are secondary to the effects on their lives. Even if you never experience a terrorist attack, the stories of those who have and how they have coped afterward can teach you things about your own life and the things that you face everyday. |
