Sometimes terrorism ends – pick a group and discuss how they’ve gone away.
Paper must be 2 pages of written content (This does not include title page, abstract, or bibliography), and must cite at least 3 quality sources
As you are working on your research paper I want to caution you again the “history trap”.  Many of you will be profiling specific groups or organizations – please do not spend the bulk of your paper going over the groups actions.  We (the graders) know the groups you are referencing  –  you may discuss actions as they are relevant to your prompt – but don’t have a full page on this history and achievements of the terrorist organizations. We (the graders) are focused on your ability to answer the prompt – not providing an extensive history of the groups.  Don’t fall into the history trap when writing your paper – it will cost you.
You can have a stance – ie why torture doesn’t work – but that must be backed up with loads of research and citations and presented in a neutral, non-passionate, and clearly defined way.
Use specific examples and case studies. Use written work by experts in the field (FYI – unless your topic covers an area you’ve worked and published in for 15+ years you are not yet an expert).
Use “real” sources – like Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), Congressional Research Service (CRS), Rand, Foreign Affairs, etc. – stay away from websites that are far right or far left wing, or materials that are self published.
