essay on A Terrorist is Made Not Born

 This is not a complete essay: Just only for your idea

A terrorist is made not born. No new-born baby comes from the womb with the desire to kill innocent people and create terror in a population. It is the programming of a system of beliefs, or ideology, into the subconscious of that child that forms the mind of a terrorist, and all ideologies have that horrible potential. The danger of believing is hardly understood, because we have been conditioned to accept that it is a good thing, but it rarely is. In fact, all belief systems are potentially deadly, especially in the new world we are now living in that requires nations to live with evaporating borders and in tight relationships in which our mutual survival is determined.

We can all see how fast our world is getting smaller, how quickly we are becoming a global community, like it or not. Blending a family isn't easy, because the most critical piece of putting together a blended family or global community is our personal belief systems and how they affect our relationships with individuals and nations.

Belief systems are such an integral part of who we are that they are barely visible on the conscious level. Every belief system is alwaysconnected to some degree of emotion. Because of this, every belief system contains the seed of violence. There is no such thing as an innocuous one, just as there is no such thing as an innocuous gun or can of gasoline. Under the right circumstances, they can all destroy.

What are beliefs, and how do they affect ones mind?

1) A belief is the acceptance of someone or something solely based on the word of another who is seen as having more authority.

2) A belief system is a cohesive, fixed set of beliefs that has a life of its own within a group and gives life to that group.

3) A belief system is not based on proven fact otherwise it would be
considered knowledge; and so, by its very nature, it must be systematically defended and protected.

4) A belief system, at best, can only tolerate non-believers, because to do
more would jeopardize its own integrity and existence.

5) By its nature, then, any belief system is potentially divisive and volatile.

Religions, nations, and other ideologies have very different systems of beliefs that guide and govern their daily live and have often clashed with each other throughout recorded history. Because of this, the possibility that the peoples of the earth can actually develop a working relationship in the intimacy of the small space in which we are increasingly finding ourselves is very limited without a fundamental change in how we view our beliefs.
