Ilya Ogandzhanov
Terrorism is a method used by radical groups based on intimidation and forcing the authorities to make the necessary decisions by taking hostages in public places. Having become one of the central problems of the 21st century, terrorist activity annually claims the lives of many people on the planet, brings many billions in losses and, despite the accepted law enforcement measures, the statistics of terrorism is growing inexorably.
The most terrible display of this phenomenon is from terrorism. The spread of terrorism in the world involves the recruitment of mercenaries from various countries through social networks, the development of an extensive structure of underground branches in many states.
History of development
Since this phenomenon is commonly understood as any acts, including monarchs, all kinds of riots and conspiracies, we can assume that there was terrorism back in ancient world and in the Middle Ages.
Most historians associate its emergence with the activities of the organizations formed in 1820 in Italy - the "Commora" and the "Brotherhood of the Carbonari".
The first group was created to bribe or intimidate prison guards in order to release them. The second was to protect the disadvantaged peasants from the lawlessness of the landlords. Despite the fact that the tasks of these organizations were strikingly different, they used the same methods to achieve the goal - murders, intimidation, explosions.
This is how terrorism appeared in the world in the 19th century, and soon numerous parties and movements began to use this effective weapon for their own purposes. Further development terrorism in the world occurred very rapidly. For example, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, terror was widely used among various currents of Russian revolutionary parties - nationalists, socialist-revolutionaries, Bolsheviks.
IN THE USA long time(from 1865 to 1993) the far-right terrorist organization Ku Klux Klan operated against the African American population of the country.
Over time, there has been a transformation of terrorism. IN modern world In addition to such types as nationalistic, religious, ideological and political terrorism, informational terrorism has also appeared in the world. It manifests itself in cyber attacks on information resources (websites) with their hacking, dissemination of misinforming information through the media and contributing to the formation of the necessary views.
These methods allow not only to deal with the consequences of terrorist attacks, but also to prevent them. Their methods are implemented by such anti-terrorism organizations in the world as Interpol, the UN, NATO, the EU.
An important fact is the strengthening of counteraction to terrorism in the world by vigilant citizens, thanks to which many explosions and other illegal actions were prevented.
Also, not the last place in anti-terrorist measures is occupied by such legal means of combating it as licensing the activities of parties, movements and religious communities, banning sects and organizations that incite ethnic hatred, restricting or prohibiting the issuance of permits for firearms.
Conclusion
The statistics of terrorism in 2017 has already been replenished with new cases. Despite all the measures taken, the problem remains relevant. To the question of how to save the world from terrorism, there is no answer yet.
Numerous socio-economic aspects contribute to the development of this phenomenon, as well as human nature, which contains the desire to own a large number of material values, power and territories, hatred for those who differ in skin color, religion.
The death rate and the number of injuries received from terrorism over the entire period of its existence can be compared with a dangerous disease. Until a "cure" for this disease is found, the statistics of international terrorism will be replenished with new acts of violence, hostage-taking, bomb explosions, taking away more and more human lives.
