I have learned a few things about the middle east through a course I took last year called SS9. I don't remember much at all but when I do remember is that the Palestinians and Israelis were always at constant conflict. I know the Middle East consists of several different countries such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Yemen, and Jordan those are the only ones I remember at this point.
I've heard people say multiple things on many occasions ex specially about September 11 2001. "It's another terrorist act" "This will pass and get better over time" Most people I know shrug at the very thought of the Middle east because people automatically think of the Middle Eastern countries and think about terrorism and terrorist acts that have impacted the United States in previous years.
Terrorism to me is just one country that's angry or jealous of another country. I believe that one country thinks they are superior to the other country and they want to prove their point so they make threats against the other country to make them afraid and if that country is not afraid then they act on that threat .
Middle East and Terrorism are combined together as a unit because The Middle Eastern countries attack one another or even go attack other countries outside of the Middle East. Terrorism always has a face and a name and so do the Middle Eastern countries when I say that I mean there is a perpetrator with a purpose and a cause somewhere over in the Middle east but that's just my personal opinion.
I agree with what you said about terrorism, it is just a country that is jelous over another, just like a little kid would be jelous over another kid playing with their toys.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about terrorism probably having to do with some amount of jealousy or wanting power over another country and in my opinion when i think of iran and those other countries in the middle east,I immediatly picture terrist attacks and 9/11.
ReplyDeleteI also liked how you expressed your opinion more then just give facts like most people do :)

ReplyDeleteOverall our post is really well written, but i disagree with one thing. The terrorist attacks have nothing to do with the country itself, its usually a radicalist group that commits the crimes of terrorism. But sometimes a countries leadership wether it is communist or king, the leader could be crooked and support the groups. Also the attacks have reasons of religons beliefs and nothing to do with which country is better
Mandy, Great post! Very comprehensive! Make sure to use capitals for "Middle East":)
