In political issues, there is an inclination to conceptualizing man in terms of behavioral theories due to both the western and the eastern heritage of the Cold War era. As not only psychoanalysis is able to show, behavioral categories alone cannot serve as a backdrop for a rationale of societal phenomena. Instead, taking into account of irrational dynamics is necessary to make sense of human reasoning and acting. In order to understand the spirit of terrorism, an integrative approach of psychological, sociological and anthropological concepts is necessary. Terrorism in a globalized world will prevail in the forthcoming decades unless the vacuum of personal sense-making in neoliberal western societies is filled. This paper will enunciate ten theses that not only take a look on global terrorism but might serve as issues that might have to be taken heed of in societal politics. Societal structure as a grid of objective reality may act as an agent of hidden repression and with that of shrouded violence that will have an effect on people. In any political action in the long run violent actions will evoke violence. So, a step back to a reasonable assessment of social pathology phenomena is to widen the view of violence and terrorism.
