Survey on Terrorism
Let Us Hear Your voice! Terrorism Pre-survey Questionnaire
Please take a few moments to answer this brief pre-survey questionnaire.
The purpose of this pre-survey is to help create a survey instrument free of western ethnocentrism and particularly white, male ethnocentrism.
Terrorists want something. The goal of my research is to discover the extent to which they speak for the societies that they claim to represent.
I want to understand how much popular support there is for terrorism, what fuels popular support for terrorism, and how the United States and the developed West can respond more diplomatically to alleviate the social concerns that drive popular support for terrorism.
My goal is that one day the societies plagued with the violence of terrorism can be free of both terrorism and the perceived social injustices that may be creating popular support for terrorism.
All information obtained in this study will be held completely confidential and used solely for the purpose of creating a less biased survey instrument. Individual responses will be promptly destroyed once the data is compiled.
Why is This Survey Important?
My research investigates potential reasons for popular support of terrorism. Specifically, I’m interested in the correlation between American foreign policy and terrorism.
To what extent does American unilateralism, preemption, and hegemony fuel popular support for terrorism?
This is an important inquiry as it directly relates to my hypothesis that terrorism, regardless of its causes, is ultimately possible only with sufficient popular support.
Consequently, only once a way to eliminate popular support for terrorism is discovered will society be able to eliminate terrorism itself.
My major obstacle at this point is to devise a survey instrument that is nonbiased, non- ethnocentric, and asks the right questions. To do this, I’ve put together this pre-survey questionnaire
With a new administration in office, there is no better time to advocate for the necessary foreign policy changes America needs to make. But in order to do that, we need information.
