Description:
The paper explains the principles of the social conflict theory and contends that present U.S. policy in the United States and throughout the Middle East is serving to further drive the desires of terrorist groups to use acts of violence. The paper discusses how those involved in committing acts of terrorism do not seek to enter into any talks or discussions but seek to be heard, acknowledged and to exact their revenge on those who they perceive are to blame. The paper argues that in order to end terrorism, the American government must address the grievance issues in those societies that are experiencing terrorist acts.

From the Paper:
"The United States has undergone many legal transformations since the occurrence of September 11, 2001, such as no-fly lists, and a general trampling of basic Constitutional rights of U.S. citizens. This compliance or passivity relating to many injustices of the U.S. government is much of what has driven terrorism in the United States in that the masses of U.S. citizens have ignored many acts of the U.S. government and military operations in the Middle East. Therefore, according to the social conflict theory the terrorist attacks in the United States were a way of reflecting negative attention on the U.S. Government for its actions in the Middle East by the terrorists committing the attacks."Sample of Sources Used:
