Suicide terrorism is growing in popularity as an extremely violent
tactic that many terrorist organizations are using to advance their
aims. The modern use of this tactic began in December 1981, has
increased in frequency to over 600 attacks per year, and has spread
to over 30 countries. Fifteen identifiable campaigns account for 98
percent of all suicide attacks. The relatively sudden increase in
this lethal form of terrorism has lead governments, leaders,
scholars, and others to search for answers concerning the causes of
this phenomenon. While most research on suicide terrorism has
focused on the organizational and individual level, the importance
of culture and social systems has been underestimated. Culture
influences people by helping to program the mind of children prior
to the age of 10. This programming includes shared values and norms
of behavior. In a collectivist culture, one that promotes the
interests of the group over the interests of the individual, the
values of loyalty, honor, avoidance of shame, and preferring the
opinions of the group can have significant influence on
individuals' behavior.
