Freedom and Democracy In America
Please respond to the following discussion topic and submit it to the discussion forum as a single post. Your initial post should be 75-150 words in length. Then, make at least two thoughtful responses to your fellow students’ posts. If you haven’t recently, please review the Rules of Discussion.
In 2002, Benjamin Netanyahu, former Israeli Prime Minister, said: “Contrary to popular belief, the motivating force behind terror is neither desperation nor destitution. It is hope — the hope of terrorists that their savagery will break the will of their enemies.”
What PM Netanyahu was saying is terrorist use their tactics, which are unorthodox, brutal and inhumane, against a force they couldn't otherwise defeat, in an attempt to break the spirit of those they oppose. Many say the 9/11 attacks against America have played into the hands of those who attacked us. They (terrorists) want to cause fear within the population. According to this week's presentation, the result of this fear is that "[I]n times of perceived severe threats, people will often trade their freedom for even the illusion of safety."
As an example, many would point to the security process we (Americans) must go through, even after many years since the 9/11 attacks, just to board an aircraft.
In your initial post, discuss how did the 9/11 terrorist attacks (and any terror, or threat of terror attacks afterwards) change the way we look at freedom and democracy in America?
Do you agree with the statement form this week's presentation that "[I]n times of perceived severe threats, people will often trade their freedom for even the illusion of safety"?
If so, why? If not, why? If there a better way? What would that look like?
Take a stand and defend your position.
