Terrorism and its Effects on Globalization and its effects on Belize

    Globalization has played a huge role in helping terrorism spread. For example the development of better communication has helped terrorist groups grow. Communication also allows multiple countries to be involved in one terrorist group. For example, Al Qaeda has multiple members stationed all over the world. Terrorism can also disrupt the economy. When groups, like Al Qaeda, make threats, or go through with attacks, it is usually a statement on how much power the group has over civilians.

            Terrorist attacks are usually centered on one area, but they affect citizens all over the world. For example, the September eleventh attacks on the U.S. killed not only Americans but citizens from around the world who were in the area's where the attacks occurred.
