Extremism and terrorism are a threat to society. Cyber-terrorism: a threat to the information society

Absolutely natural was the fact that the theme of terrorism in the modern world and its information field is one of the most urgent. Already since 2000, the society has become associated with the Middle East (and in general everything related to Islam) with the notion of terrorism. The threat to the society that banditry carries is very great, but one can not connect them directly with Islam. Since in this case it is not entirely correct to associate the emergence of such groups with religion.

What is terrorism?

Practice and ideology of cruelty, which is based solely on illegal and violent actions that are aimed at making a decision by the authorities, is terrorism. The threat to society in this case is enormous, since the main task is achieved through intimidation and physical destruction of the population. It is worth noting that this is not the goal itself, but only a way to achieve it. In terrorism, the very attitude towards murder is defined as a necessity. Roughly speaking, a certain sentence is imposed on a group of people, a union, a country or an entire religion, which is accused of practically all mortal sins. The only way to solve this problem is its complete physical destruction. This solves the problem, whether it is political, economic or social.

Terrorism is a threat to society! With the help of fear that he sows in society, you can control those people who are influenced. In this case, there is not just a banal extermination or murder, demonstrative executions, head-cutting and other horrible things are being carried out, which intruders fix on a photo or video for subsequent broadcasts, as proof of the seriousness of their intentions.

What is a terrorist act?

A terrorist act is any act (be it an explosion, seizure, arson, etc.), which carries the effect of intimidation of society, creates a danger to human life and the risk of causing property or physical damage. The main goal of such manipulations remains the destabilization of the existing power or political relations in the international arena.

Any country and a single person can be "under the gun" of terrorists if they see the need for it. The definition of terrorism in any country is almost the same.

Backstage games of terrorist organizations

Nowadays, modern forms of terror (as part of the struggle) are used quite actively by many radical groups and organizations. But it is worth mentioning another question. If it's clear with radical people that they use fear as a manipulator of the public mood, then how is it with those who apply pressure not to ordinary people but to the government and heads of state? At the same time, the civilian population remains untouched. Thus, almost any person can be credited to terrorists, that he committed a murder. This is the guile of the heads of many states that can easily declare any organization terrorist.

Countries of the Middle East

Since 2001, to this day, the Middle East remains the most tense place with a large number of terrorist organizations. It should be noted at once, all the gangs and troops that are there, are fighting mainly with the US and the EU countries. This is due to the fact that a large number of countries in the area have long been colonies of the same Great Britain, France, and America. But even despite the seeming independence of these countries, their entire economy is still of a colonial nature. And their true owners are those countries against which the wrath of terror is now directed.

Thus, in order to keep the economies of these countries under their control, the "colonialists" are constantly destabilizing the political situation and since 2001 have been carrying out full-fledged military operations. Of course, all the forces of the East are sufficiently scattered among themselves, have much worse weapons than the countries of the first world, therefore, as one of the most accessible and effective options for influence, they use methods of terror.

I want to say that, in part, the society itself, against which terrorist aggression is directed, is to some extent responsible for this. After all, if citizens allow a person with a clearly aggressive foreign policy to come to power, it is quite natural that after some time they themselves become victims of the regime.

Thus, it is necessary for everyone to be personally responsible for their political views. This is no longer a matter of morality or morality, but exclusively a logical military-political response to a destructive foreign policy towards other states or peoples. In other words, if the tanks are compared to the ground by another city, and the resistance forces do not have the opportunity to respond adequately, they are fighting with the weapons that are available to them.

Terrorism and extremism

More and more often you can hear the phrase "Terrorism and extremism - a threat to society!". Naturally, this is hard to argue with, but first you need to understand the concepts and some definitions.

Extremism is a certain inclination to the most extreme measures and radical views, but a person who is an adherent of such a policy is none other than a theoretician. The terrorist is a convinced practitioner. Any extreme, be it radical reforms in the economy or calls for the killing of "infidels," is utter folly, since such a view of things leaves no room for maneuver or retreat.

When extremism does not bring the necessary results, the next phase is in progress, because these two concepts go alongside, but they should not be confused. The threat to society (both under extremism and under terrorism) directly depends on many factors: which sides of the conflict are involved, their purpose, methods, etc. But be that as it may, although these manifestations of aggression depend on each other, it is still worth catching the fine line that distinguishes them. For example, any terrorist is necessarily an extremist, but at the same time, not any extremist can go on murder.

Terrorism as a threat to Russia's national security

What can be one of the most powerful tools in the struggle of nations in the international arena? The answer to this question is very simple, because with the help of terrorism one country can easily shake the economic state of the second, undermine its spirit and set up citizens of the state against the ruling authorities.

Proceeding from the fact that the positions of the Russian Federation are strong at the moment, and the country becomes more confident in the political arena, some followers of the unipolarity of the world do not want to have such a disobedient neighbor. That is why in the territory of the country, in one part of it, then in another, terrorist attacks begin to flare up.

Needless to say, at the moment there is a large amount of evidence, from which it becomes clear that the US sponsors a huge number of such terrorist organizations operating around the world. All these steps, one way or another, are aimed at weakening Russia, destabilizing all neighboring regions that border Russia. An example of that we could already observe with Ukraine and a military coup in this country. Thus, terrorism as a threat to Russia's national security is a problem that is quite urgent, but it is worth noting that the performer is not as dangerous as his client.

Terrorism and extremism in the Caucasus

As for the Caucasus region in the Russian Federation, for a long time it was the "hot spot". Only in 1997, 1,290 terrorist acts were carried out, and in 15 years - 1,728.

Terrorism is a threat to society! We are against terrorism! Such statements are heard more often in the Caucasus. But there is such a thing as Wahhabism. Supporters of this trend are actively fighting not only with Russian federal troops, but with all of Christianity in general. Especially this confrontation is relevant in the northern part.

Naturally, it would be wrong to say that all followers of Islam are waging an irreconcilable war with the rest of the world. Such methods of struggle can be directed absolutely in any direction. In this case, the background will be successfully adjusted to the traditions of faith and supposedly religious texts, in which this confrontation is described as the Holy War.

The TV does not stop and every day it says that terrorism is a threat to society. News is filled with a huge number of reports from the scene. Having looked at most of them, one can draw a full conclusion that all acts that are somehow connected with extremism and bandit formations are ethnoreligious. In fact, it can be said with certainty that the struggle between Christian and Islamic civilization is in full swing, and terrorism and extremism are a threat to society.

The order of actions during a terrorist act

It can not be said with absolute certainty that modern man is completely protected from this or that manifestation of aggression. The government of any state tries to do everything to protect its citizens from terrorist attacks. But, given that terrorism is a threat to society, emergencies can happen at any moment. The main thing that life can save is the ability to think sensibly during a terrorist act and take the necessary actions in time. It is always important to keep yourself in hand. Such a memo in case of threat of terrorist operations can save your life:

• It is necessary to examine yourself for injuries.
• Before anything can be done, you need to calm down as much as possible, not forgetting about the possibility of a re-explosion.
• In case of injury or blockage under the rubble, you should never try to do anything on your own.
• The ceiling must be reinforced with furniture to prevent the possibility of its collapse.
• Remove sharper sharp objects, if possible, call the rescue service.
• Breathing paths must be covered with a damp handkerchief.
• It is important to help rescuers find themselves, for which it is necessary to give signals.
• You need to scream only when you hear someone's voices, otherwise there is a danger of suffocation.

Information terrorism

Thanks to the ubiquitous "networkization", some non-state structures try to come to the forefront of all world players already known on the field of international relations, which are engaged in provocative activities. It is called cyber-terrorism. The threat to the information society can lead to completely unexpected consequences.

Cyber-terrorism is the deliberate and purposeful use of information to force the top of the state to certain economic, political or religious decisions. An important factor in this attack is the emotional impact on public opinion.

Now, among the already large number of variations in the performance of terrorist acts, the information sphere comes to the fore. Information itself can be considered as a necessary human resource, which, if desired, can be used as a weapon for creating contradictions. Thus, with the cardinal changes in global globalization, the issue of ensuring the quality of its own (meaning national) security comes to the fore.

Undoubtedly, terrorism is a threat to society, the dangers of which lie not only in the banal application of "brute force", but also, if I may say so, "soft power", which is based on the manipulation of the psychology of society. Due to the fact that the role of information in such a war is dominant, many Western countries have been actively developing new orientations to protect (and, perhaps, attack) the information field, from possible threats from outside. This can be called the modern concept of "network war".

Modern terrorism

At the moment, along with the most dangerous viruses and diseases, a special place is occupied by terrorism. The threat to modern society is obvious, and there is as yet no effective cure for these problems in the modern world. Consider several trends that can be attributed to the terror of our time:

1. The increase in the geography of the spread (and therefore of the victims) as a result of the terrorist attacks.
2. The mutual influence of certain factors (economic, political and other) on the emergence, spread or intensification of terrorism.
3. The organization of gangs is increasing.
4. Strong interconnection of various gangs with organized crime (intercontinental including).
5. Increased financing of terrorists by customers.
6. Aspiration of bandits to seize weapons of mass destruction.
7. Terrorism is used as a weapon to interfere in the politics of the country.

Proceeding from the foregoing, we can sum up that modern terrorism is a threat to the individual, to society, to the state, to the economy, to religion and freedom. In any organization of anti-terrorist activities, it is necessary to take into account all its tendencies, which, unfortunately, develop every minute.

IG (IGIL)

Terrorism is a threat to society! This statement is clearly underlined by one organization, which recently became very "popular" due to its shocking video with executions, abductions of diplomats, consuls and the capture of Mosul. "The Islamic State" - IG (IGIL) - is trying to position itself as some "team" of especially cruel and fearless gangs that are based solely on radical Islamism and its Salafi interpretation of Islam. In fact, if you look at all their goals and methods of achieving them, then the same scenario is everywhere. Terrorism is a threat to society, and the harm it brings can only be compared with the Ebola virus, which also grows uncontrollably and affects more people every day. But proceeding from some actions of the IG organization, it is safe to assure that they carry out their atrocities not so much because of religious beliefs, as more on geopolitical predispositions.

The main goal of IGIL is the creation of a certain state in the territories of Syria and Iraq. Terrorism is a growing threat to society, and this can be said by the fact that the peoples of these countries, paradoxically as it sounds, support the intruders. Some experts argue that this is because terrorists are acting cunningly - they always share with the people captured and looted.

Despite the fact that the methods of terrorists have not been fully worked out yet, work in this direction is already bearing fruit. Strengthening of security measures is intensifying all over the world. Terrorism, taking into account some socio-political situations in a number of countries, will somehow lead to a totalitarian-democratic system, the main tools of which will not only be terrorist attacks, but also information. Terrorism is a threat to society. And having considered its subtext, it is possible to say with confidence that this is a natural component of the society of the whole modern world. Of course, with this you need to do something, and as soon as possible.
