NATO, a military alliance created in 1949, has played an important role in combating international terrorism since the attacks of September 11, 2001. It uses cartographic, graphic, and iconographic languages to plan operations, monitor movements, and inform the population. The main forms of violence related to terrorism include suicide attacks, kidnappings, explosive attacks, and cyber attacks, with varied causes such as poverty, social exclusion, religious and political radicalization. NATO proposes mechanisms such as direct military actions, cooperation between intelligence agencies, training of local security forces, and prevention and deradicalization programs. NATO's relations with counterterrorism are relevant in political, social, environmental, economic, and cultural aspects, promoting security, stability, and cooperation among different cultures and religions in the contemporary world.

In our Federative Unit, which is the state where we live, there are different groups of people who came from various places, bringing their cultures and histories. Some of these people are called indigenous because they are descendants of the first inhabitants of our country, and others are of African, European, Asian, among other origins. This mix of cultures is one of the things that makes the place where we live so special. Thinking about this and what you have learned about the people who make up the population of our region, write about how the coexistence among these different ethnic groups can influence the formation of our cities, local customs, and relationships between people. In your text, explain why it is important to value this diversity and how it can help build a fairer and more equal place for everyone.
