Q5: What is the relationship between 'terrorism' and globalization? Does trans-national terrorism reflect the deviant/dark side of globalization?

From this essay, I will explain the relationship between terrorism and globalization. Terrorism has always been defined as a very negative ideology and philosophy for western countries, and even until today, there has not been a single agreed definition of terrorism (Seumas Miller, 2009; Aref, 2003). "An author writing in the 1980s listed more than hundred definitions, and since then, there have been numerous additions" (Walter, 2003). Different countries, people and organizations interpret the meaning of terrorism differently. Terrorism is an ideology that promotes fair and equal status in the world. The vision is similar to Marxism, but terrorism uses more violent ways to achieve its goals, and most of the time terrorist will be involved with activities related to bombs, kidnapping, suicide bombing and cause a lot of material damage (Walter, 2003). "The term 'Terrorism' has now everywhere a bad, negative connotation in contrast, for instance, to 'guerrilla,' which enjoys a far more positive reputation" (Walter, 2003).Terrorism occurs for a lot of reasons. It has some internal and external reasons.
