Abstract
This paper looks at terrorism and how it has changed over time. A definition of terrorism is included as well as a description of how terrorism is changing. The new terrorist is not the camouflaged warrior with the black armband, toting a machine gun. It is the highly trained, creative programmer who can be anywhere at anytime. The new "weapon" is a computer linked to a network and the ammunition is codes.

Abstract
This paper gives a brief review of literature pertinent to the subject of terrorism and then presents a theoretical model to explain the difference in the terrorism of Israel and the terrorism of Saudi Arabia. It examines the phenomenon of terrorism and what it means in the world today, in particular, in terms of two Middle Eastern countries, Saudi Arabia and Israel. Furthermore, the study posits that state-sponsored terrorism is widespread in both Saudi Arabia and Israel, and evidence is provided to support this hypothesis. After all of this information is presented, the issue of terrorism in these two countries and its interpretation is discussed.
From the Paper
"Another report, by the Middle East Forum, also argues that the traditionally solid ground between Saudi Arabia and the US has weakened recently, as evidence of Saudi Arabia?s state sponsored terrorism has come to light, for instance, the fact that the Saudi royal family give money to Bin Laden in order to ensure they are not killed by al-Qaeda, and the fact that Prince Badar?s private jet was used to evacuate twelve members of the Bin Laden family who were living in the US, following the events of 9/11 (Murawiec, 2002). Murawiec (2002) says that ?Bin Laden is an extension of the Saudi Royal Family?, and that as such, the US has made the correct decision in not keeping up diplomatic relations."

A Balanced Approach to Policy on Terrorism?
The Effect on the United States of Current Terrorism Trends

Summary
From the Paper
"The proliferation of terrorism in poor countries, and its effects on the U.S., is valid. For example, many of the Middle Eastern nations are extremely poor, and the motivation of the people is often religious as opposed to financial (sacred versus secular, if you will). In a twisted interpretation of ancient religions such as Islam, there are those who feel that they are not only doing the will of God by conducting acts of terror on "infidels" such as the citizens of the U.S.,but also that they will be providing for their families because of the huge financial rewards thatwealthy terrorist leaders, such as Osama Bin Laden, promise to the benefactors of a terrorist if or she gives their life to kill Americans, such as in the 9/11 attacks."

Abstract
This paper examines how terrorism is a problem that has plagued the world for thousands of years. It looks at how, having come full circle from its earliest beginnings of the Jewish Zealots to today's Islamic fundamentalists, religion continues to play an important role in driving terrorism. It also shows how even though the availability of weapons has evolved over time, terrorism continues to have the same driving goal, to bring attention to a particular cause.
From the Paper
"Another, more famous, early group were the Assassins. They were an 11th Century offshoot of a Shia Muslim sect known as the Ismailis. Like the last groups we discussed, the Assassins preferred stabbing their victims in broad daylight. Generally speaking, their victims were politicians or clerics who refused to adopt the purified version of Islam the Assassins were spreading. Often these acts were carried out at religious sites and on holy days, to publicize their message. Like many religious inspired terrorist today, they viewed their deaths during such operations as sacrificial that guaranteed them paradise in the afterlife."

Terrorism and Counter Terrorism, 2004.

Abstract
This paper focuses on the way counter terrorism and terrorism have changed since 9/11 and the growing role of the U.S. It also looks at the development of 'modern' terrorism and the possible consequences of the continuing War on Terror. It debates whetherr or not September 11th, 2001 can be seen as a day that changed the face of terrorism. It also discusses how since the invasion of Afghanistan, terrorist attacks have become more numerous and high profile although their basic purpose remains the same, to gain attention. It puts forward the view that what has changed about terrorism since 9/11 is the amount of media attention it now controls.
From the Paper
"As well as presenting a recent point of reference for terrorist activity, the conflicts in Palestine and Northern Ireland also show two different ways of dealing with the problem, certain aspects of which have been adopted by the United States. In the case of Britain and Northern Ireland, the conflict is one of territory and security for those who want British rule. In Palestine and Israel however, the situation is based purely on territory. This difference in the foundation for the terrorist action seems to have dictated the way in which terrorism has been dealt with. Because of the presence of British citizens in Northern Ireland, and the small section of society that is involved in the unrest , it has been British policy in recent years to try and settle the situation through political sanctions and increased security measures to prevent terrorism."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses the book 'Till We Have Faces: A Myth Retold' by C.S. Lewis and notes that Lewis has created a complex novel in his retelling of the story of Cupid and Psyche. The writer points out that it is a novel with numerous themes and meanings, one which is very deep and reflects on the very core of the interaction between human nature and spirituality. The writer relates that speaking largely on the power of God, the Divine, love, jealousy and family among other themes, Lewis creates a powerful character in Orual whose transformation reflects on the very nature of God's involvement in life and on love, spirituality, and holiness within an individual. The writer concludes that Orual went through the process of gaining a face through her conversion and through her realization of her own self-deception, Lewis is suggesting that it requires internal awakening of the divine before true conversion and understanding of God can be reached.
From the Paper
"Orual's conversion, and her own struggles with the divine, is reflective of the challenges humans must overcome to discover God. To find God, one must first find God in him or herself. Only through finding the divine inside, can one truly discover God. With the veil over the faces, to borrow Lewis' metaphor, humans have to face, and therefore cannot see the face of God. The face of God is not for humans to see anyway, because it is so pure and divine. However, there will come a day when we all have faces, as the title suggests, and then truly can we discover God. Ultimately, we must discover the Godliness in us as individuals; we must all undergo the conversion of Orual. The love that humans think they feel is not unconditional and it has to be to discover God. Discovering God is finding heavenly love in oneself, and to discover that one must believe in the greater spiritual powers without empirical proof. Psyche found her true happiness by trusting God, and she had beauty that was limitless. In Till We Have Faces, Lewis depicts how humans must go through a conversion, a difficult conversion in which they find true love in themselves in order to understand the true love of God. Only then, can God be discovered."

Goffman's Face-to-Face Communication, 2007.
An exploration of Erving Goffman's model of human interaction.
1,953 words (approx. 7.8 pages), 7 sources, APA, $ 62.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper identifies and discusses the various aspects of Erving Goffman's model of face-to-face communication, including impression management, discrediting information and group interaction or 'performance team'. The paper investigates these concepts and others as well as the concepts guiding the paper to the ultimate question of 'where or what is the real self?' The paper, considering Goffman's thoughts, attempts to answer this question.
From the Paper
"For centuries philosophers have attempted to explain human face-to-face interaction. It is the human's desire for the fundamental answers of existence that explain this fact. Erving Goffman, a 20th Century sociologist, essentially found face-to-face communication to be a series of dramatic performances, not dissimilar to the performance of an actor or actress in a production. Thus, Goffman's 'dramaturgical' account of face-to-face communication was born. There are several aspects to Goffman's model of communication. Firstly, impression management is an important facet to investigate. Secondly, the relationship between revealing discrediting information and tactful blindness shown by the recipient is an interesting concept. "

Abstract
How do terrorist threats challenge the current international legal framework? Should the current framework of international humanitarian law be altered? This paper reviews existing international law, challenges to those laws, how countries have responded to terrorism vis-a-vis the implementation of new laws, the justifications used by countries to side-step existing laws, and more.
From the Paper
"In the event that national courts prefer not to assume the role of investigating and prosecuting criminals connected with terrorist acts, other jurisdictions may become involved. One, the Security Council of the UN, under Chapter VII of the UN Charter, "has broad powers to take measures for international peace and security." Also, there is the International Court of Justice (ICJ), a court associated with the United Nations, and the International Criminal Court (ICC). According to its charter statement - the "Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court" - this court was set up on July 17, 1998, by a coalition of 120 states participating in the "United Nations Diplomatic Conference of Plenipotentiaries on the Establishment of an International Criminal Court.""

"Terror" in the Mind of God: A Study of Terrorism, 2005.
This paper studies the dangerous influence that religion has on some believers-- an influence that ignites terrorism.

Abstract
Using Mark Juergensmeyer's book "Terror in the Mind of God" as a reference, this paper examines how religion sometimes influences its believers in such an extreme way that they turn to terrorism in the name of God. The paper examines the origins of terrorism, cultures of violence and the future of terrorism.
From the Paper
"Juergensmeyer's ideas discussed in the book go against what most criminological theories of crime causation tell us. Rational Choice theory, which is the theory used almost exclusively in today's criminal justice field, believes that criminals choose to commit crime by weighing the potential benefits versus the potential risks. (Siegal, 107). This assumption that offenders make a rational informed decision affects crime prevention strategies (Siegal, 129). The religious terrorist, however, is in a cosmic frame of mind where moral religious values override any sense of legal right or wrong."

Abstract
This paper explains that the threat of a terrorist attack using biological weapons has become a true threat. It looks at the history of the use of such agents and how they have developed. The writer analyzes how certain cities in the United States have begun preparing themselves to deal with this threat and discusses various prevention programs and procedures currently in place.
From the Paper
"Public health officials should first assemble a coalition of local leaders of church and civil organizations, saying: "You best know your own people and how to reach them; we may need your help in the event of a large epidemic. Let's work together to imagine ways of using your organizations to monitor disease, communicate information, distribute medicine, and organize volunteers." Second, there has to be a means for educating as many people in the community about the steps to take in case of disaster. As with myriad of other problems or potential problems in this country, the majority of people have high expectations on what their local, state and federal governments should do to be of help. Ways of responding to potential situations such as bioterrorism, although it is hoped they will be nonexistent, should be planned in advance. Because of the monumental impact that such an event would have, it will take as many people as possible and more to help. Citizens should volunteer their involvement and public agencies should be pleased to accept the help."

Conclusions
From the Paper
"Terrorism is such a misused word that one person's terrorist is another ones freedom fighter. Bin Laden and his criminal gang were described as 'Mujahideen- the Holy Warriors' by the western media and their indiscriminate terrorist attacks during soviet occupation and pro-soviet Afghan government days were projected as freedom struggle and acts of bravery. The international politics has thus not permitted building a formal definition. The United States Congress has defined [22 U.S.C. [sections] 2656 f(d)(1)-(2) (1994)] "terrorism" as "premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets by sub-national groups or clandestine agents"; "international terrorism" is defined as "terrorism involving citizens or the territory of more than 1 country" [Reisman, 1999]. This definition does not consider state terrorism or state sponsored terrorism, which is often the case, as international terrorism often requires a hideout and a sympathetic or covertly supporting state."

Terrorism Policy, 2008.
This paper looks at definitions of terrorism and their effects on terrorism policies.
944 words (approx. 3.8 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 33.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how a terrorism policy is contingent upon the definition of terrorism prevalent at a given time and looks at the terrorism policies of the past. The paper discusses the serious implications for how we define the word terrorism. The paper also explains that, used too broadly, the definition can limit the ability of legitimate guerrilla organizations to fight oppressive regimes, but used too restrictively, it can make a nation vulnerable to unforeseen attacks.
From the Paper
"The issue of global terrorism has become a major public concern in the past decade or so and particularly since the attacks of September 11, 2001. It is a natural response to terrorist attacks and activity that governments and lawmakers will attempt to formulate policies to deal with the problem. It seems logical to conclude that without clear and consistent sets of policies and procedures to deal with such a multi-faceted and complex problem, it will not be possible to effectively combat it or fight it on almost any coherent level."

Terrorism and Transnational Crime, 2005.
This paper is a literature review of terrorism pre and post 9/11, the relationship of money laundering to terrorism using the Colombian narco-traffickers as a model and the relationship of transnational crime and terrorism.

Abstract
This paper explains that the literature states the necessity of extending the scope of terrorism to include related trends of drug-trafficking, organized crime and unlawful migration to America because these trends serve as breeding grounds to terroristS who have been looking for newer ways to broaden the terrorist funding base. The author points out that the literature indicates that the methodology adopted by the drug mafia in Columbia, to distribute their narcotics at the global level and subsequently to use that money to fund organizations creating civil unrest, has been adopted by the terrorists in the Middle East. The paper relates that literature discusses the actions taken by global institutions at the forefront of global anti-money laundering administration and reviews some fundamentals of the critical anti-money laundering law, such as the constant attrition of confidentiality and the obligation of augmented necessities of carefulness.

From the Paper
"Michael Reisman (1999) gives a fair review of the past and the present actions and procedures of calculated and politically provoked violent non-government groups. Many critics have questioned the unwillingness of the American courts to prosecute terrorist activities that have taken place outside American grounds. Michael reviews the reasons behind the reluctance of the American courts to take legal action in these scenarios. He also reviews the dilemma of the incompetent countries whose soil has been exploited as a foundation for terrorist training and terrorist activities against other countries, particularly the United States. Similarly, Peter Chalk (1998) reviews a number of terrorist events which could have resulted in greater understanding and classification of terrorism and the fundamentals that serve as driving forces for terrorist acts. He concludes his study by creating a model for responding to terrorist actions within the customs of political and social legality."
