Abstract

Objectives: The present study aimed to present and analyze a collection of caricature artworks reflecting the artist's standpoint on introducing and addressing terrorism. It also sought to provide insights and recommendations on the potential use of caricature art in countering terrorism in contemporary society.

Methods: Researchers employed a descriptive analytical design, which is the most appropriate scientific method for studying the sample. The methods used were as follows: Survey Method - Gathering, studying, and describing a collection of notable cartoonists' works addressing terrorism. Content Analysis Method - Examining and analyzing caricature works from the study sample.

Results: The study yielded several findings, with the most important being that in most countries worldwide, the majority of cartoonists have committed themselves to countering the widespread terrorism in contemporary societies. However, their efforts are insufficient in light of the growing phenomenon.

Conclusions: Caricature art plays a prominent role in countering the causes of terrorism, even before its emergence. This is achieved through the significant influence of caricature art in shaping the cultural and emotional perspectives of society members. Moreover, caricature art is free from negative beliefs and attitudes that can serve as a foundation for extremism and terrorist activities.
