Terrorism is the use of terror, violence, and intimidation to achieve an end. Terrorism also refers to any fear and subjugation produced by this. Terrorism, by nature, is anarchic, and therefore not sustainable as a governmental system. Governments that engage in terrorism to control the populous of their country or another country are engaging in what is generally known as "[[State Terrorism]]." This is different from governments that sponsor terrorist activities and organizations, which is generally known as "[[State Sponsored Terrorism]]." However, these terms, and what they encompass are not generally agreed upon by the international community, and are thus, subject to opinion.

The term is also used to describe violence or other harmful acts committed (or threatened) against civilians by groups or persons for political or ideological goals. Terrorism is the unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons. Terrorists are occasionally viewed as "[[freedom fighter|freedom fighting]]" (see [[Che Guevara]]), but this distinction is almost exclusively a western concept.
