Globalization and Terrorism - Sunday Bobai Agang - Bog

For good or for ill, amongst all the current scientifically known solar planets of the universe, the earth is the only habitable planet. This planet¿earth¿has incredibly changed. On the one hand, everything on it has been or is being globalized, including terrorism. Our world has concretely become a true ¿global village.¿ That is why it is now possible for more people than ever to collaborate and compete in real time with more people on more different kinds of work from more different corners of the planet and on a more equal footing than at any previous time in the history of humankind (Friedman, 2003). Put another way, the invention of computers, e-mail, networks, teleconferencing, social media, and dynamic new software have all made it possible for those of us living in the 21st century to achieve so much more than many generations before us. On the other hand, the 21st century is witnessing a situation whereby a whole new group of angry, frustrated and humiliated men and women seek to destroy the rest of us.
