3. Terrorism

Plain and simple. It doesn't take a lot to instill fear in a population.

Terrorism is the use of violence, threats, or intimidation, especially against civilians, to achieve political, ideological, religious, or social objectives. It often aims to instill fear, disrupt societies, or pressure governments into specific actions or concessions. This definition encompasses both state and non-state actors, though the term is frequently associated with non-state groups.
