| Security, Terrorism and
War |
| |
| Security:
The concept of security generally refers to the state of being free
from risk and danger, or care, anxiety and dependence. To be secure
means to be safe and OK. Security could be on a personal level, group
or on a States level. It could also be measured with respect to the
social, economic or political dimensions. |
| |
| Terrorism: There is some disagreement
on what kind of act terrorism is or who is or is not a terrorist.
But the term terrorism generally refers to any criminal act directed
towards an individual, a group of persons or a state with the aim
if intimidating, frightening or terrorizing a person or people who
are usually noncombatants. Terrorism, therefore, works against security.
In most cases terrorism is engaged in for sociopolitical, economic
or religious reasons. |
