Nuclear threat and terrorists threats are prevalent attacks still being used to force fear into a society. They are similar in ways by deterring economic growth and forcing governments to reevaluate
and have to manipulate their defensive stance against an attack. Terrorist’s attacks normally occur on a small scale and often times force a regime to retaliate in full-scale war. The attacks on Pearl Harbor and the World Trade building in New York were two recently devastating attacks still vivid in most Americans minds. The attacks mentioned were not only lethal and invasive, but served the purpose to create a panic in the attacked society and lessened the confidence of its government and military. Nuclear attacks have been a threat to American soil and many other countries since before the Cold War. During a nuclear attack there are two levels of failure a society can achieve: partial failure and/or complete failure. Partial failure can result in a controlled attack limiting civilian losses and damages. A full scale nuclear attack would devastate any political regime and most likely end a vast population of all life. Fortunately there have been no nuclear attacks aimed at and carried out toward the United States of America, but the threat is always viable and intent can be found many places. The military and government in place today have taken on an extreme task trying to keep civilians safe from all attacks, but being a free thinking democracy, a melting pot of cultures; terrorist attacks are not that easily avoided. Society has debated whether some of the policies working now to avoid any other terrorist attack are too extreme, but as long as there are factions across the world united to bully another then nothing should be too extreme to ensure the safety of the place called home.
