Should we (politicians, the media, security forces,
society, academics, the public, and so on) stop using the label
‘terrorist’?

Also, draw on any other course material. Your answer should also
address at least two of the following issues/additional questions:

What are the politics of calling someone a terrorist?
How are accusations of terrorism exploited by those in power?
Marking someone as a terrorist make it “easier” to kill them? Does this matter? Why might it be a problem?
What does the label blind us to?
Is there an important distinction to be made between calling a
person or group “terrorist” and calling an act of violence a “terrorist
act”?
Is the label of terrorism equally applied across perpetrators of violence and contexts?
How does the language of terrorism open up avenues for intrusive security and surveillance on behalf of the state?
Are some acts of violence so heinous that we need a different term for them (i.e., terror)? If so, what is the criteria?
