In the article, State Actors in an International Definition of Terrorism from a Human Rights Perspective, Bruce Broomhall suggests that the way terrorism is defined currently may be insufficient to fully encapsulate the intricate aspects of the activities that occur under the title of “terrorism.” The article highlights the principles of international humanitarian law as it pertains to terrorism on an international level, rather than domestic. According to Broomhall, terrorism consists of acts such as hostage taking, genocide, war crimes, and the indiscriminate targeting of civilian individuals in an attempt to make a large impact or bring attention to the cause ...

According to Milgram’s (1963) findings authorities have substantial power over individuals, and his findings can explain the nature of the holocaust as a consequence of enforced obedience. Blass (1999) argues that obedience rates have not declined since the original experiment, so any attempt to reproduce the experiment will probably result in similar findings. While moral convictions change over time, obedience remains consistent, so it is possible to conclude that people lose their moral convictions and personal decision-making abilities once they are exposed to pressure from the authorities.
The experiment was repeated several times in different societies with different ...

The Israeli-Palestine conflict is one that is incredibly complex and borne of sophisticated and difficult-to-resolve religious, political and cultural differences in the Middle East. The area has been subject to substantial examples of violence, imperialism, and religious extremism to the level where the conflict has escalated to near-unsolvable levels. However, the history of the divisions that take place in the West Bank and adjacent areas must be understood and explored, in order to solidify our perceptions of how the conflict was created. Here, the Balfour Declaration, Henry McMahon's Letter to Ali ibn Husain, and the British Mandate for Palestine ...
