Terrorism has been around for a long time. It has left a very ugly scar on all the victims it has claimed. Today, people might think that terrorists are human beings who can destroy the whole world in a single explosive. However, this is not true at all. They are ‘ordinary’ people just like us but the only difference is their views of life. From their own perspective, they want to change the world by annihilating all bad and weak individuals that disagree with their views or religion.

For individuals, becoming a victim from a terrorist attack can be devastating. Although, people who are drawn into terrorism focus on examining their victims and taking advantage of their weaknesses. In order not become a victim, avoid the predictable routine, such as socialization which is being used on us as terrorism tactics. We can not prevent terrorism but we can avoid it by taking control over predictability.
