Terrorism is an act of violence to bring out fear in a population, you may wonder why people would want to put such fear into a person. Since the 20th century, the term terrorism has been applied in a violent way either directly or indirectly to influence policy or existing regimes. There are three main types of terrorism revolutionary, sub-revolutionary, and establishment. Revolutionary terrorism is the most common form. This act of terrorism wants to seek the complete abolition of a political system and its replacement with new structures. Sub-revolutionary terrorism is less common and is not used to overthrow an existing regime but to change the sociopolitical structure. Establishment terrorism is mainly against anything to do with the government. Besides that in order to generate widespread fear there are things they have to take into action which can be hijacking, kidnappings, mass shootings, car bombings, and sometimes suicide bombings. These choices aren’t just randomly picked, they choose careful selections that they believe will get the most shock from people. A few selections they have targeted before are schools, bus stations, restaurants, and nightclubs. These few locations are known to have attracted the most people, and they watch closely and see when most people show up to these locations so they get the most amount of people at the right times. With when it comes to political organizations, many people have practiced terrorism such as religious groups, revolutionaries, and even state institutions such as armies, intelligence services, and police. So you may have thought terrorism just comes from one place and one group of people when it really comes from all over and is used in many different factors.
