make you want to read an article?
like an attention grabber
The Federal government captures a prisoner of war and tortures them for information, an Islamic militant builds and then detonates a bomb strapped to himself, and a man plans out and rapes a women. Which, if any, would you consider to be a terroristic act? Undoubtedly you, as many, would consider only the Islamic suicide bomber a terrorist. Every word has varying meanings amongst cross-sections of the population, each subtly different than the other, but in essence the same. It is this essence that the true definition of a word needs to capture, and what many have struggled toward and researched for years.

make intro shorter.
A prisoner of war is tortured for information, a militant straps a homemade bomb to himself and detonates it in public, and the rape of a woman is planned and carried out. Which, if any, would you consider to be an act of terror?

I was debating making it shorter that but the teacher is somewhat anal about having a legitly lengthy introduction paragraph...not just a quick one or two sentence intro to catch someones attention
