Summary and conclusion

Summary:

The main aim of the study is to compare different types of violence and terrorism. As population is increasing in Bangladesh violence and terrorism is also increasing.

After observing the table and graphs it becomes clear without any doubt that with the increase of population and time violence and corruption by terrorist increase also.

Conclusion

Rules for suppressing corruption and terrorism:

Rules for suppressing corruption and terrorism have been formulated from time to time in Bangladesh. In 1947 some rules of public importance were formulated to make the rules more active. Clusters of similar rules were added in 1957 to those of 1947. Afterwards many additions were made to those rules in 1958, 1960 and 1977.

4.3 Independent anticorruption commission:

In order to prevent activities leading to corruption the government introduced a bill in the 8th session of the national assembly. Threadbare discussion is going on to make the rules suitable to the present need.

Social movement:

Social movement can be initiated in 2 ways:

  • Individual
  • Social

When an individual becomes a victim of corruption or terrorism he may protest against such corruption and terrorism. But isolated attempts to fight against the corruption and terrorism more often than not result into failure.

Therefore all the victims of corruption and terrorism should join together to make collective efforts to fight against corruption and terrorism. To make the movement a success support from the press, mass media, television etc. can play an important role.

Political willingness:

At first we need political willingness to prevent corruption and terrorism. Government and opposition party should be mentally prepared to control corruption and terrorism.

More independence of the media:

The news media of Bangladesh is more independent than any other country of the world. Newspaper can play dominant role to prevent corruption and terrorism. These are

  • Generate media support against corruption and terrorism
  • Determine means to ensure freedom and independence of media and
  • Develop and improve understanding for the media’s potential for preventing and combating corruption and terrorism.

Increase of advantages:

Government employ’s are not paid sufficiently to maintain their family is an honest way. The government employ’s salary should be increased to get rid of this situation.

Conclusion:

Corruption and terrorism is consuming into the vital of the social structure. This brings bad luck to the nation. So we should find out the reasons why they are in increasing trend and to find out ways and means to decrease them. More research needs to be done by the researchers to solve the situation that the country peoples are suffering for several years.
