¶ … ETA is losing its popularity and standing among the Basque. There should be a section outlining who they are, and why they became popular in the first place. Sections on the steps the Spanish have taken to deal with ETA should be more detailed. You say five different ways that the Spanish have attacked the financial arm of ETA without providing any detail on what the Spanish did, or why this matters. So four of those sentences are just filler. Some of your sources provide a lot of detail (Watson and Whitfield in particular), but I do not see evidence of that detail.

On the pedantic side, the writing needs substantial work. There are several typos, grammatical errors and instances of poor sentence construction. Some examples are "supported by statics," misuse of possessives ("1980's"), and things like "The ETA continues to be a group that has had an effect on the society of Spain." The latter starts in the current tense, then shifts to the past tense. There are several sentences that are entirely superfluous. The first sentence under "Discussion" doesn't even make sense. If you are trying to say that there are three reasons why the ETA has seen its support among Basque people decline, just say that. Keep it simple.

Lastly, the work is not cited properly. APA requires in-text citations. The format used was not APA. Please refer to the following: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/

Overall, I am disappointed. I do not feel that I have learned anything about why ETA exists, the threat that they once posed, or how this threat has been neutralized in anything other than general terms. I feel that this report is short on analysis -- it's just a few basic facts presented, which I could have read in the newspaper.

At times terrorist succeed and at times they fail. Some times they have larger and long-term goal and some times they have short-term aims. For example, a group hijacking a plane wanted some immediate results like release of the prisoners or financial gain but blowing a plane into a building would definitely mean that terrorists wanted something big out of it. Sometimes terrorists want to just cause panic and

Global Jihad, a Myth or Reality The Jihad is often associated with a certain Muslim fight against the unfaithful, one that has been going on for decades now and which is unlikely to stop in coming years. However, despite this sustainable development of the notion and everything it entangles, it cannot be stated without a doubt that this is an obvious reality. This assumption is made based on the fact that

Terrorism in Western Europe That terrorism, be it transnational or domestic, impacts negatively on the overall well-being of economies is a well-known fact. With that in mind, governments have overtime embraced numerous counterterrorism measures in an attempt to mitigate the adverse effects of terrorist activities. In this text, I concern myself with terrorism in Western Europe. In so doing, I will limit my discussion to two countries in Western Europe where

Jewish people believed they were promised land of their own, and the Palestinians believed that they would be given a defined homeland as well. However, the governments making these decisions were outside the Middle East and were acting in their own interests, not the interests of the people living in the areas affected. When the United Nations recognized Israel as a political entity after World War II, it did

Some rates had even decreased. Maritime shipping rates grew by 5 to 10% on average in the two weeks after the attack, but that rise was soon reversed. Airfreight rates, however, were about 10% higher in late 2001 than before the attacks. Due to the abrupt slowing of cumulative demand starting in 2000 and the decline in fuel costs after the terrorism, there should have been a steeper falling

" (2003) During the 1850s Bilbao was drastically changed by rapid industrialization and by the 1860s planned was a new city in which the former method of building houses without a design for the streets was changed and "the new area of planned prosperity was more orderly." (Zulaika, 2003) Zulaika states that the: central economic ideology was utilitarian laissez-faire - industry should be self-regulated and government reduced to a minimum. The
