Terrorism is defined as acts of violence intended to create fear and terror in a community or disrupt the world order. It differs from guerrilla warfare in that terrorism has no defined boundaries and does not aim to seize military or political power. In the US, the PATRIOT Act was passed after 9/11 to improve detection of terrorism but was modified in 2015 due to controversy. There are several types of terrorism including civil disorder, politically-motivated, non-political, religious, and state-sponsored terrorism. Proposed solutions include stopping militant groups, promoting independent economic development, restricting terrorist funding, and providing support to vulnerable communities.
