Overview
Week 5 Discussion: Chapter 3, Responding to Terrorism Dr. Jean-Marc Akakpo I must admit that some of you are doing a wonderful job exploring the topics in these chapters. I will not mention any name, however, you know yourself. Chapter 2 was rich and full of topics that some of you have not seen before. Now you are experts in these conversations. I can only hope that during your Thanksgiving dinner you will have something to talk about. This week’s topic is not an easy one. I remember in graduate school, it was very complicated and difficult to talk about “Terrorism”, for several reasons and the first was the definition of the term. I hope you will also enjoy the reading and I cannot wait to see what you get out of it. As you are doing so perfectly every week, pick of the following chapters:
1. The Evil Scourge of Terrorism: Reality, Construction, Remedy: Noam Chomsky, pg.140 And then complete the step below: ➢ What are the main ideas of the topic of your choice? ➢ Define the key terms used by the author ➢ What are the strong points of the topic of your choices? ➢ Give real life example that can be applied to your topic
For your 3 reply posts to your classmates: ✓ Summarize his or her ideas in your own words ✓ Ask questions for clarification if needed ✓ Be sure to define your terms and to support your answer with references to the course materials (and the videos) and/or the readings for this week. ✓ Give real life experience to support your response.
