Motivational Factors for Spreading the Ideology of Terrorism and Extremism in the Global Media Space

The purpose of this study was to study the factors motivating the spread and instillation of the ideology of terrorism and extremism in the global media space, which is attractive to adherents of extreme views with its accessibility, weak control by the state and law enforcement agencies, anonymity, as well as almost unlimited access to a wide range of users. The objectives of the study are to analyze the causes of extremism and terrorism in the global media space. At the present stage, humanity has entered a new era - the era of globalization and informatization, and people have increasingly been subjected to the forced imposition of the ideology of extremism and terrorism. The goals of extremist-terrorist organizations in the global space were to popularize their ideas and actions, create an atmosphere of fear and intimidation, misinformation and recruit new members to their ranks. Conclusions: We found that the beginning of globalization was marked by the faith of people in the development of a harmonious and just world order, where everyone will be in wealth and well-being. However, very soon it became clear that there was no miracle to wait for and globalization did not bring any positive changes to ordinary people. Once again, large and developed states and corporations that have established their own world order have won. Another crisis rained down. It was he who provoked the penetration of extremist and terrorist manifestations into a wide audience, mainly through a global network. Globalization, which has gone down the path of erasing national-cultural boundaries, has met with resistance from ethnic groups, which in the most negative aspect have shown intolerance towards other nationalities, races and religions. So, a large number of people have become adherents of extremist and terrorist ideology.
