Dear Viewer,
I chose the topic of ISIS for my global issues project. I chose this topic to research
because I wanted to become more informed on the acts of violence committed by ISIS, and how
people have reacted to them. The Islamic State has killed many innocent people, and I wanted to
learn about the origins of the terrorist group and its leaders. I am still very happy with my choice
because I have learned a great amount about the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. The information
I have gathered from many sources was incredible, and the statistics on the number of innocent
people killed around the world by ISIS were very shocking to witness.
The most challenging aspect of completing this assignment was gathering different types
of information from a wide range of sources on the background of ISIS. The terrorist group is
very secretive, and I did not find a great amount of information related to its leaders and how
ISIS came to exist. During my project, I wish I would have looked more into the beheadings
done by ISIS towards United States citizens, and the reactions these murders brought to the
country. I am proud of many parts of my paper such as where I speak about how the world needs
to stop ISIS before they gain too much power. If I had another week to work on this paper, I
would look for more information on how the world is reacting to ISIS in Iraq and Syria, and how
countries have dealt with the many bombings done by ISIS. Before you begin my paper, know
that I had known practically nothing about what ISIS has done in Iraq and Syria, and I have not
included every crime ISIS has done in my paper. I have learned many new things through this
assignment, and I have included a detailed background and a list of some events that I found very
interesting. To achieve unity, I made all my information centered around my thesis statement

about ISIS, and used structural writing to help improve my work throughout the duration of this
assignment.
During this project, I have learned a lot of important facts about the cruelty of ISIS. I
have been informed of many events related to ISIS, and what terror they bring to the people of
many different countries. I have learned how ISIS is gaining their power through violence and
killing, and want to encourage others to become informed on the subject as well. My thesis was
proved to be true by adding information that goes along with the idea of violence related to ISIS.
My research paper contains material associated with the savagery of the Islamic State which ties
to my thesis statement. Overall, the terrorist group ISIS has caused much havoc around the
world, and without stopping their acts of terrorism, the group will continue to show many acts of
injustice towards innocent people.
