“A” WORK DISCUSSION
It appears that no country is immune from terrorism, with the most recent attacks occurring in Paris in January 2015. If you had the ability to implement a policy to stop terrorism, how would you do so and protect the rights of citizens?
REPLY TO MY CLASSMATE RESPONSE TO THE ABOVE QUESTIONS AND EXPLAIN WHY YOU AGREE? (A MINIMUM OF 150 WORDS or MORE)
CLASSMATE’S POST
No country is immune from terrorism, but there are ways to help prevent it or at least knowing how to respond will help greatly. The Department of Homeland Security has a campaign, “If you see something, Say something. I think this is a great start to helping individuals feel like it is okay to say something, if they think something is not right. Often people are scared or do not know what to do or how to react when they feel that something is not right. With technology being at and advance level it also makes it easier to say something and get the proper individuals in place to respond or investigate the situation.
According to Spindlove & Simonsen (2013) ” Terrorism constitutes one of the most serious threats to global security”. If I had to make a policy, I would add more security and have just a special department to deal with it also train others outside of the department so that all will know how to respond. There are also different threats, but within foreign I would have restricted air zones and within domestic, without discriminating deeper and more intense background checks on gun purchases. Also, there would be more uniform processes for screening potential terrorist. I am sure that as time changes the policies change also. There will always be room for improvement and different ideas.
