Intro

 This week, I learned about 'Conflict'. In the time of high school society, I studied about social theory. For details, did not learn, it was a chance that was able to acquire the knowledge of the overall social theory. In the 'Invitation to sociology' class, I also studied various social theory. While studying the details, I was able to associate social theory and social issues. In recent years, While studying about inequality in Korean society, I was focused on the conflict theories, structure.

Reference : Wikipedia

 Conflict theories : Conflict theories are perspectives in sociology that emphasize the social, political, or material inequality of a social group, that critique the broad socio-political system, or that otherwise detract from structural functionalism and ideological conservativism. In the conflict theory, the most prominent sociologist is 'Karl Marx'.  Thought of Marx is interesting. He emphasized the distribution and co-production. In addition, he criticized the power of authority. Through the contents, it was possible to know the cause of inequality in our(Korean) society.

 Terrorism : Terrorism is commonly defined as violent acts (or the threat of violent acts) intended to create fear, perpetrated for an economic, religious, political, or ideological goal, and which deliberately target or disregard the safety of non-combatants (e.g., neutral military personnel or civilians). Another common definition sees terrorism as political, ideological or religious violence by non-state actors.

Discussion

Topic 1 : Why is terrorism seen as such a danger, if so few people have been affected by it?

 I think that Why more afraid of terrorism than die for heart disease is possible to die in situations where we do not know. People who never experienced terrorism are experienced through a medium about terrorism scare. In daily life, They are also think the possibility of being able to experience the terrorism. So, people are more afraid of terrorism than heart disease.
These direct, indirect threats of terrorism make people do not performed daily well, so eventually their life fatigue.

Thank you for reading!!!
