Diagnosis and Prescription to Combat Global Terrorism attempts to inform you about the undisclosed facts or realities about terrorism that government officials, politicians, and religious leaders are yet to discuss in the public realm. The book discusses terrorism from insights gained in the world’s five major religions (Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Christianity, and Buddhism) and describes how these religions’ culture, beliefs, or doctrines are crucial to enhancing democracy – or infecting the world with chaos, desperation, and uncertainty.
This book brings new ideas from four different schools of thought (Psychology, Political Science, Sociology, and Social Work) to help you digest critical information about the rise of global terror. The book also recommends ways to combat this ill societal phenomenon. The author uses an intellectual ideological microscope to magnify the unspoken underlying causes of global terrorism; he provides theoretical explanations on how religions and cultures impact terrorism as well as have the ability to deter the current divide.
While the contents of this book are exploratory and stimulating to its general readers, it also can be used in colleges and universities in academic disciplines such as Political Science, Religious Studies, Sociology, and Psychology to model the way for a violence-free democratic society.
The author is an emerging thinker in the Political Science, Sociology, Social Work, and Divinity disciplines with impartial pristine views on controversial and sensitive issues that tend to affect humankind.
As a young man, Jeremiah always had sophisticated views on how individual orientations, be they religious, political, or social, had greater impacts in defining the persona of individuals. Thereby, he strongly holds the belief that individuals or groups of people from the same environmental orientation (religious, political, or cultural) would have harmonious worldviews or the same mindsets. With this as the fundamental of the author’s scholarly thoughts, he immigrated to the United States, where he perceives opportunities for higher education that would be crucial in populating his insight about humankind. Prior to coming to the United States, he was the first human rights activist in the Republic of Liberia. The author gave birth to human rights activism in Liberia when he lighted the “Human Rights Candle” at the United Nations Peace Building Conference in Liberia during its 14-year civil conflict.
Jeremiah holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Political Science with emphasis in International Politics; Bachelor of Arts Degree in Sociology; and a Master’s Degree in Social Work from the University of Illinois at Chicago. The author also teaches Human Relations at the Westwood College in Metropolitan Chicago.
The author’s youth in his home country, Liberia, focused on peace building that was channeled through human rights advocacy, his collective social science disciplines, and his polemic arguments on societal ills during graduate studies that indicated a proclivity for world peace in his later life.
In this book, Diagnosis and Prescriptions to Combat Global Terrorism: An Insight in Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Christianity, and Buddhism, the author brings a collection of scholarly insights from his three academic backgrounds to bring current and future global terrorism to a manageable level without perpetuating the loss of human resources from both sides of the coin (democratic torchbearers on one side and the Islamic world on the other).
This book not only offers intellectual enlightenment of the current global divide; it also will be your companion for peace; food for thought for human existence, and a legacy for social harmony.
