Perception of Terror

Description:

In the global world as we know it today, multiple events are happening. Since 9-11 the world has not been the same as before. The US is constantly fighting their war against terror, the UK is helping them in a way and also ather countries are contributing to this war. But what if terror is not this big as it looks like.

As the human opinion about events is formed by the media, the information distributed to the media might not be correct. What would happen if the great world leaders would try to convice us that terror is a great thing, yes indeed, they would use the media. All the messages you hear are from all sorts of media:internet, television, radio, news paper and so on.

If all these messages were fake, would anyone know the truth? No, probably not. But can they do it. Naturally the media is also fed by the people. They listen to interesting stories and the more interesting the earlier it gets to you. Governments are creating this messages, wouldn't you believe it as the White House or the British Parliament gives a warning of terror?

But how does this reflect upon the normal world? Well they create a certain perception of terror. We ought to believe that terror is a big thing but maybe it isn't.

But on the other side. With this ongoing excuse to fight war, they create a war. The terrorist are possibly not in cells but are single people with an idea. They are driven to each other by the feeling that is created by this perception of terror. We created them.
