Millions of years ago, human even ate their fellowman to survive in the unawareness. In the modern
world, however, people still kill each other violently by terrorism. There are many different types of
terrorism, for many different purposes but they all have serious consequences and are extremely
difficult to be solved completely.
Terrorism is humanity's obsession owe to its unforeseeable effects on people, environment and
economy. First of all, thousands of people have died or injured every years because of terrorism such
as the 9/11 attack in USA killed approximately 3 000 people and left a forever hurt for American.
Moreover, once living in a violent country, people tend to have unstable mentality and particular crisis.
With regard to the environment, our Earth is being destroys every day in order to provide people with
energy for creating their weapons. The omega bombing in Northern Ireland and the gas attack in
Tokyo, which constituted the most lethal form of bioterrorism ever committed, not only killed people
but also poisoned the environment. Finally yet importantly, million of dollars is used to get over
terrorisms consequences and build programs to prevent this problem as well. Human property such as
homes, cars and so on, evidently, also return to dust after the bloody attacks.
With terrorism being so secretive and having no forewarning, it has been a real problem to deal with.
Everyone must join hand to create a peaceful world for themselves and next generation. Schools along
with parents should teach children how to deal conflicts in such a friendly way instead of fighting
violently. It is important for mankind to rise their awareness towards terrorism. They need eliminate
religious and racial discrimination so as to avoid attack which cause of hate towards a race, nationality,
or religion. Furthermore, good intelligence is very necessary to root out serious terrorist threat. Every
government should strengthen security in the airport as well as public gathering places. Additionally,

they also have to supervise strictly the sale and transportation of weapons such as guns, knives,
biological bombs, etc.
In a nutshell, terrorism has become a global threat and needs to be controlled from the grass root level
to the international level to make the world a better place to live in. Even though there is no way to
totally eliminate terrorism, I strongly believe that human can get over this problem by behaving
peacefully and politely with each other.
On the evening of 13 November 2015, a series of coordinated terrorist attacksoccurred
in Paris, the capital of France, and its northern suburb, Saint-Denis. Beginning at 21:20 CET,
three suicide bombers struck near the Stade de France in Saint-Denis, followed by suicide
bombings and mass shootings at cafs, restaurants and a music venue in Paris.[7]
The attackers killed 130 people,[2] including 89 at the Bataclan theatre,[8]where they took
hostages before engaging in a stand-off with police. There were 368 injuries,[4] 8099 serious.

Seven of the attackers also died, while authorities continued to search for accomplices.

The attacks were the deadliest on France since World War II,[9][10] and the deadliest in the

European Union since the Madrid train bombings in 2004.[11] France had been on high
alert since the January 2015 attacks in Paris that killed 17 people, including civilians and
police officers.[12]
The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) claimed responsibility for the attacks,[13]
[14]

saying it was in retaliation for the French airstrikes on ISIL targets in Syria and Iraq.[15][16] The

President of France, Franois Hollande, said the attacks were an act of war by ISIL[17][18]
[19]

planned in Syria, organised in Belgium, and perpetrated with French complicity.[20]

In response, a state of emergency was declared,[18] and temporary border checks were
introduced.[21] On 15 November, France launched the biggest airstrike of Opration Chammal,
its contribution to the anti-ISIL bombing campaign, striking ISIL targets in Al-Raqqah.[22] On 18
November, the suspected lead operative of the attacks, Abdelhamid Abaaoud, was killed in
apolice raid in Saint-Denis, along with at least two other people.[23]
