Acts of terrorism• Are usually committed by groups who do not
possess the political power to change policies they view as intolerable.
• Terrorists plan their acts to get as much media exposure as possible.
• Media coverage magnifies the terrorist act by spreading fear among a mass audience and giving attention to the terrorist cause.
• The attacks of 9/11 assured a worldwide television audience.

• What was the government’s response to the September 11th attacks?
• If the Islamic religion preaches peace, why do you think so many terrorists use it as justification for killing innocent people?
• Do you think the U.S. is doing a good job fighting against terrorist groups? Why or not? Is there anything else we should be doing?
