How does terrorism affect Saudi Arabia and they fight against terrorism

Writing Assignment

Choose an issue or topic related to terrorism. Develop the topic into a fairly narrowly focused “mini” research paper. For example, you could analyze the effects of alternative political environments on the likelihood that terrorism will become a tool of a domestic group. Another example is the assessment the extent to which a particular set of religious beliefs does or does not provide justification for terrorism. Or, for example, how has military action directed at terrorists impacted the quality of life in a nation. Or, compare and contrast two or more terrorist organizations including in-depth analysis of their characteristics. The idea is to choose a topic that is sufficiently narrow and focused so that it is manageable in a 7 –10 page paper. Regardless of the topic you choose, your paper must present some kind of analysis supported by published research.

Analysis involves asking an important question. What, for example, are the most important features of a political conflict that lead to less (or more) reliance on terrorism? Or, which features of a political or religious struggle are common to cases in which terrorism arises as a response to the status quo? Or, are efforts to resolve long-standing issues giving rise to terrorism likely to be successful? Or, what are the major obstacles confronting nations like the U.S. who wish to prevent future terrorist attacks within the U.S. borders? Or, which of the competing definitions of terrorism is most useful for understanding and addressing the threat terrorism poses for Americans?

Identify a minimum of ten separate sources of information (in addition to the course texts)about your topic. The more recent the source – the better. Generally, any source older than 10 years (other than for background purposes) is too old for this assignment. Articles are more useful than books. Conduct a decent literature search in ProQuest. Be cautious when using only WWW sources. They are not all equally credible.

Avoid popular magazines – Time, Newsweek, Psychology Today, Parents Magazine, etc. Similarly, avoid electronic sources for which the organizational affiliation is unknown. Critically review and cautiously use any material from an organization or agency that has a specific agenda, e.g., A.C.L.U., government agency, etc. Seek help from one of the Reference librarians in the Pearson Library.
