WHY IS TERRORISM AMERICA’S PROBLEM “You know‚ one of the hardest parts of my job is to connect Iraq to the war on terror” said the previous president of America‚ George W Bush in 2006. This encapsulates the American war on terrorism. Aimless‚ flawed and biased.

things about American society have changed in the past sixty years. The 1960’s were a time of counterculture‚ and many people rebelled against what had been socially normal in years past.

In some ways‚ the social norms of the 1960’s are still similar today; during the 60’s‚ birth control became popular‚ drug use was very common‚ and people tended

"Victim"‚ what is a victim? Webster’s definition of a victim is "one that is prayed upon and usually affected by a force or agent." my definition of victim is someone who has had a terrible thing happen to them.
