The psychological effects of cyber terrorism
Michael L. Gross , Daphna Canetti and Dana R. Vashdi
ABSTRACT
When ordinary citizens think of cyber threats, most are probably worried about their passwords
and banking details, not a terrorist attack. The thought of a shooting in a mall or a bombing at an
airport is probably more frightening than a cyber breach. Yet terrorists aim for mental as well as
physical destruction, and our research has found that, depending on who the attackers and the
victims are, the psychological effects of cyber threats can rival those of traditional terrorism.
KEYWORDS
Cyber security; cyber
terrorism
Cyber aggression has become a daily fact of life in the
21st century, yet for most people it’s still only a reality
in the form of cyber crime – hackers targeting financial
information or other personal details. Politically moti-
vated attacks might threaten them as well, but they
tend to be the concern of governments and corpora-
tions rather than ordinary citizens. The thought of a
terrorist shooting in a mall or bombing in an airport
probably seems far more frightening to the average
person than Russian hackers disrupting government
networks in Estonia or Anonymous breaking into the
police department of Ferguson, Missouri. Cyber terror-
ists, after all, have yet to actually kill or injure anyone.
Yet our research has found this perception of cyber
aggression might not be entirely accurate. The aim of
terrorism, after all, is not just physical destruction, and
depending on who the attackers and the victims are,
the psychological effects of cyber terrorism can be just
as powerful as the real thing.
Defining cyber terrorism
People face cyber aggression on an almost daily basis.
Hackers appropriate, erase, or ransom data, defraud
bank customers, steal identities, or plant malevolent
viruses. In many cases, hackers are criminals out for
pecuniary gain. But sometimes their motives are poli-
tical. Some are “hacktivists,” or cyber activist groups,
like Anonymous, others are terror groups like Hamas
or Islamic State, and still others are agents of national
states like Iran, North Korea, or Russia. They are not
usually after money but pursue a political agenda to
foment for social change, gain political concessions, or
cripple an enemy. Sometimes their means are peaceful,
but other times they are vicious and violent. The lines
often blur. Anonymous will hack the Ferguson police
department just as it will initiate an “electronic
Holocaust” against Israel in support of the Palestinian
cause (Rogers 2014). Islamic activists will use the
Internet not only to recruit members and raise funds
for social welfare projects but also to steal money for
terrorist activities or disseminate information to stoke
fear and demoralize a civilian population. States will
pursue online espionage but also wreak havoc by crash-
ing multiple systems – as did the Russians, allegedly, in
Estonia in 2007, with mass denial-of-service attacks on
gove ...

Based on the course material, examine the potential effects of agroterrorism, as a subset of biological terrorism, on the United States agricultural sector and economy. How significant a threat do you view agroterrorism as broader subset of biological terrorism?
Agroterrorism what exactly is it. Well it is defined as an “intentional introduction of a plant or animal disease with the purpose of causing monetary losses, creating fear, and/or undermining social stability”. (Bergeron 2011; Monke 2006) Based on this definition it looks like that agroterrorism in basic terms is when something is intentionally brought into an organism that will cause bodily harm to others. By doing this it would cause mass panic.
The agriculture and food industry are something that the United States needs to continue stability and life. There is so much revenue that is generated from these industries and introducing a weapon like this would cause many issues. Typically the main threats that came to food was diseases and pests that are accidentally introduced to the food supplies. Introducing a bioterrorism weapon like that to the food supply would cause much hysteria throughout the United States. Maybe even across the world. We need food to survive and so on.
“The goal of agroterrorism is not specifically the death of plants and animals, but rather an agroterrorism event is an avenue to undermine consumer confidence, cause social turmoil and create a host of other concerns.” (Stirrup 2007) With this being said if the consumer has no confidence in what they are selling and the crops that they are planting damaged in a way that they would not be consumed the consumer would then loose funds that they need to survive. With that as well tampering with the nations food supply would impact the publics feelings of certain consumers food chain and cause many issues.
The threat of agroterrorism is a widespread prospective event that may require a vast knowledge base; extensive resources and a fundamental understanding of emergency management response. With all of this being said I do believe that it is significant enough to be considered a way that many people could attack the nation because sometimes things that introduced to plants or animals can go undetected for different amounts of time.

Agroterrorism is one of the most overlooked and yet most dangerous forms of terrorism. When people think about terrorists they don't think about having the food supply becoming contaminated. Peop.
Terrorism is on the rise is the past decade. It results not only in loss of dear ones, loss and damage to property but also deeply impacts the economy of the country and the world both in the short and long runs. This presentation talks about the impact of terrorism on the Indian Economy.
Dialectical Relationship Between Terrorism and Human Security: A Sociological...Rula alsawalqa
This article analyzes the dialectical relationship between terrorism and human security to reveal its dimensions and their role in counterterrorism and to understand what motivates individuals to join terrorist groups. Adopting a qualitative methodological design, data were analyzed through deductive reasoning from the sociological perspective. The findings revealed that terrorist threats to human security could not be addressed through traditional mechanisms alone. They require a new consensus that recognizes the linkages and interdependencies between development, human rights, and national security through a comprehensive approach that uses a wide range of new opportunities.

Chapter 5 Global Terrorism
NONSTATE ADVERSARIES, FUNDAMENTALIST RELIGIOUS EXTREMISM, AND WEAPONS ARE THREE FORCES OF GLOBAL TERRORISM, ALL REPRESENTED BY TALIBAN FIGHTERS IN AFGHANISTAN.
Learning Objectives
1. 5.1Recognize that terrorism is a contentious issue that becomes hopelessly muddled by political and military considerations
2. 5.2Review the factors that are conducive to terrorism
3. 5.3Identify the goals, strategies, and weapons of terrorism
4. 5.4Identify the sources of funds that are used for financing terrorism
5. 5.5Review how terrorism adversely affects individuals, nations, and other groups
6. 5.6Summarize five kinds of terrorism
7. 5.7Examine the different ways of combating terrorism
8. 5.8Analyze the fundamental question about the balance between fighting terrorism and protecting democracy within the United States
The Boston Marathon bombing in April 2013 and the grisly murder of an off-duty British soldier in public in London in May 2013 that was filmed on mobile phones as the terrorist waited for police demonstrate a further shift away from centralized terrorist organizations to lone wolf terrorism. This kind of terrorism is conducted by self-motivated independent individuals. The attacks in Boston and London show how difficult it is to prevent lone wolf terrorism.
Successful U.S. counterterrorism measures against al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula and in Pakistan, combined with failed democratic transitions in the Middle East and North Africa, have contributed to the shift of global terrorism to Africa. Domestic terrorist groups such as Boko Haram, which means “Western education is sacrilege,” in northern Nigeria, collaborate with al-Qaeda. The Syrian civil war, chaos in Iraq following the U.S. withdrawal, and the disintegration of law and order in Libya have strengthened terrorism, most notably the group called the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), which claimed credit for the November 13, 2015 terrorist massacre in Paris.
The growing use of armed drones for targeted killings of suspected terrorists in Yemen, Pakistan, Somalia, Niger, and elsewhere raises many controversial issues. Drones are effective weapons against terrorists. Even though they kill fewer civilians than alternative methods, the loss of innocent civilian lives undermines their use.
Edward Snowden’s leaking of documents showing extensive spying on Americans as well as people and governments around the world by the National Security Agency (NSA) as part of America’s counterterrorism strategy raised global concerns about the basic right to privacy. It also has far-reaching consequences for U.S. security and foreign policy.
Osama bin Laden, widely viewed as the embodiment of global terrorism, was killed by U.S. Special Forces on May 1, 2011, in Pakistan. Despite this significant development, the war on terrorism continues. Think about how the escalation of global terrorism affects our daily lives. This global problem is now virtually inseparable from pe.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

3. What is Man Made Disaster ..?
“ A disastrous event caused directly and
principally by one or more identifiable deliberate
or negligent human actions Also called human-
made disaster”
12. Impact of Terrorism
The most immediate and measurable
impact of terrorism is physical
destruction. Terrorists destroy existing
plants, machines, transportation systems,
workers and other economic resources.
13. Impact of Terrorism
Even if you do not live anywhere near
terrorist attacks, you might still be
negatively impacted indirectly.
This is because all kinds of markets hate
uncertainty, and terrorism creates a lot of it.
14. Impact of Terrorism
There are two obvious industries especially
vulnerable to the effects of terrorism:
insurance and tourism. Not all insurance
companies pay out in the event of
international terrorism or foreign wars, so
the impact is likely less than you might
first expect.
15. Impact of Terrorism
There is an old saying in the study of political economy
that reads "war is the health of the state." It means that
during times of conflict, reactive governments and
nervous citizens are far more inclined to give up
economic and political freedoms in exchange for
security. This could result in higher taxes, higher
government deficits and higher inflation.
16. Impact of Terrorism
The final risk to the economy is political
risk. This is already on display in the
United States and Europe in 2016, where
there has been a rise in skepticism of
foreign cultures, businesses, immigrant
workers and refugees.
