SECTION -1
The issues which affect the functioning of the whole world are counted as a global issue. And
since the world and its population is growing into a global village every small activity is having a
very significant impact on the other areas, as the terrorism and violence effect is a worldwide
problem which cannot be limited to any one country. The core problem is terrorism and it makes
a negative impact on developed and emerging countries. Many countries use terrorism as the key
to fighting with their opponent countries but the whole world is affected by the same. Poverty is
a big problem which born terrorism in almost all the developing countries.
SECTION -2
In spite of all the good things that are happening in the world, there are still many that create a
global issue. Terrorism is the violence done by a group of people for political purposes to the
common and innocent public. The terrorism is being continuously used as a weapon by the
countries like Iran, Iraq and Syria, to expand their territory (Agbiboa, 2014). Like IRA used this
terrorism card on Britain for unifying Ireland. The pairs attack ruined the world peace, not only
the peace was disturbed but the tourism of the country, safety, security and world stability was
also affected by this. PLO used terrorism in Israel against Israel tourism in the year 1960s was a
very threating move to the civilians. The countries that assist these Palestinian terrorists are not
only creating threats for themselves but are increasing threats for all the countries in the world
(Agbiboa, 2014).
Terrorism is a major issue in the developing countries, the countries who are not economically
stable and where the power index is high face the problem of terrorism. Poverty plays the main
role in promoting terrorism; governments are unable to fill the gap of employment rate and
education to youth. There is a poverty line which defines the criteria of being poor is $1.90 as
standard set in the year 2015, and 1.3 billion people are categorized as poor and they don't earn
$1.9 per day (Ravallion, 2017). This global issue cannot be controlled by the country itself the
measures need to be taken worldwide. The lack of money not only creates problems for food but

also creates health problems, shelter problems which need to be resolved and it will encourage
terrorism (Ravallion, 2017).
Terrorism is creating issues at a global level which reduces the development and growth of the
countries. People who have no works to do, they choose to enter these communities and
organizations like Islamic State, the Taliban, Al-Shabaab and Boko Haram (Forbes, 2019).
According to the Global Terrorism Index (2018), framed by the Institute for Economics & Peace
(IEP) that these communities and organizations are answerable for millions of deaths in the same
context. Some dangerous countries like Somalia, Syria, Nigeria and Iraq deliver their actions for
instability in different countries. In 2017, the Taliban group were accountable for 700 attacks,
and the causality of 3,571 people; they organize their actions through armed assaults and
bombings (Forbes, 2019).
Terrorism is a big global issue, there are still different problems or issues that affect the global
environment like economic stability, inequality and discrimination that born the terrorism and it
existed everywhere (Forbes, 2019). The intensity of terrorism has reduced to a greater extent in
the developed countries but is a big problem in the small countries, and according to UNICEF,
there are still 150 million people who have no work to do no food for eat and no shelter for life,
they manage their lives by taking erroneous step to move towards terrorism. The shocking part is
that there are some countries where the ratio of terrorism joining is increasing instead of
decreasing (Hite and Seitz, 2016).
Violence is a global issue that is common in women and people in LGBT+ category. Violence
not only has a negative impact physically but the mental torture these people face is
traumatizing. Terrorism and different terrorism communities promoting unethical practices that
increase the voidable atmosphere in different countries. This is very common in the countries
like Pakistan, this has been completed to a greater extent and still, there is no hope for
improvement in this issue. Terrorism is a main global issue where it promoted by the terms of
less income, gender and caste issues, religious rumours and conspiracy influences all directly and
indirectly (Hite and Seitz, 2016).
