Discussion
In the 21st Century security discourse which one of the following is not considered as existential threats ?
Answer: A
The answer is Riots.
An existential threat is one that endangers the survival of a state, a society or humanity itself. In twenty-first-century security writing, climate change, international terrorism (especially with weapons of mass destruction) and nuclear weapons are all discussed in these terms, because their effects can be global and catastrophic.
Riots are serious breaches of public order, but they are local and temporary and are handled by the police as a law-and-order problem. They do not threaten a state's survival, so they are not treated as an existential threat.
