Document Summary
When politicians are really worked up, they sometimes accuse one another of turning terrorism into a political issue ( the politics of fear ,2007). Over the last couple decades, the term terrorism has been going through problems of meaning, over what terrorism is and what is not. The use of terrorism in politics, has had significant impacts on the various decisions made by the public. The use of terrorism in politics, has drawn a connection between terrorism and political violence. Political violence is the use of violence outside of state control that is politically motivated. This form of political violence can be induced by fear; the public can be manipulated into fearing acts of terror. This can result in the up rise of violent acts that are politically motivated. Terrorism uses its power of allegiance to come in and take control of events. Terrorism strives to target a mass audience by inducing fear and uncertainty to accomplish, what they want.
