Sample Answer
America and Terrorism in the 21st Century
America is known globally for upholding our principles of human rights and democracy. Always finding comfort in intervening in foreign conflicts by assuming the role of cop for the world, keeping everyone safe and free from harm. Unfortunately, The United States is not so well equipped to take care of this as we often lack the appropriate resources needed to be effective.
With the terrorism of the 21st century, we have seen WTC, 9/11, The Boston Marathon we have witnessed here in America all have the same common ideology.
That is the common vein that global terrorism is almost impossible to stop by the very abstract nature concept that it is built upon. It is evil violence that is executed in a premeditated fashion against mostly the innocent. Success will be seen in a compilation many successes over time as we value the support that comes when we support our Allies.
Our success to prevent terrorism will come not only by military force alone. It will take our newly formed department of Homeland Security and all the plethora of resources that follow. These include Federal government, State government, Tribal nations and even representatives from Federal agencies. By working together, we form a united front ho assist in the prevention of terrorism and in the hopes of thwarting them following through with any future acts that would harm America.
