When we are watching TV and see the things that are happening now, it is quite clear to all of us that terrorism is increasing in every corner of the globe. Everyday you hear of kidnapping and car-bomb attack; it does not matter which daily newspaper you open, you will find there the headline dealing with traumatic experience of terrorism. Many people are sometimes afraid.

Extensive studies have proved that terrorism occurs when there is social or political injustice and religious conflicts, often when one community faces discrimination. According to terrorists, violence may bring social and/or political change. Countries such as Nigeria, Mali, Somalia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq and Syria have always been the theatre of terrorist attacks.

Further, another source of the terrorism may be the vengeance of weak people because of the bad policy of strong leaders of the world. Palpable example is what often occurs in the USA, in France and in England. September 11th, 2001 is the most destructive day in the long blood history of terrorism. It could be the most important day too, because it led the American president Bush to declare a war that would not end until every terrorist group has been found, stopped and defeated.

To prevent repeated cases of terrorism in today’s world, the government of every country ought to right things and treat everybody without any racial discrimination.

English has had a long tradition of borrowing words from other languages. This tradition began with the conquest of Britain by the Norman – French in 1066. Because these conquerors established themselves as rulers, their dialect of French became the language of aristocracy, of government, and of education. During this period, many French words came in the English language. Another strong influx of vocabulary came from Latin, which was the language of the church. Today, those words derived from French and Latin, though still identifiable, as such, are an inseparable part of English vocabulary and are not thought of as foreign by English speakers. In fact, the first two sentences of this paragraph contain three words that come to us from this tradition : tradition, languages, and conquest.

The Britsh colonial era, which began with outposts in North America in the early seventeeth century, brought English speakers into contact with many other languages. In North America, words from the Native American peoples quickly found their way into the language. Exemples include moccasin (a kind of soft shoe), squash (a vegetable), and succotash (a dish made with corn and squash).

The presence of Spanish colonies in North America led to the adoption of numerous spanish words, such as siesta (a nap) and tortilla (a flat thin pancake made of wheat of corn flour). Asian languages also made contributions. For example, the word pajamas comes from a Hindi work, khaki comes from Urdu, a,d ketchup was borrowed from Chinese.

Words from African languages, too, made their way into English during the time that slavery was an institution in the United States. Okra (a vegetable) and goober (peanut) are exemples.

The results of all of this absorption of new words is a very rich vocabulary that allows users of English to express subtlety of meaning and also formality and informality thought their choice of words.
