What do you think motivates people to carry out hostages? What do you think they hope to achieve?

There are many motives for hostage-taking. Motives can be identified as two ways broadly. One is acts which seek a specific concrete aim such as obtaining a ransom. Alternatively, another primary aim is to enable the perpetrator to seek revenge and/or to express some pent up frustration, anger or other emotion. Most recently, we have become familiar with politically inspired hostage-taking by terrorist organizations like IS to achieve some political end, such as the evacuation of Iraq by the Coalition Forces. Although it is a contentious issue, some would argue that even western countries have engaged in a form of hostage-taking masked by the euphemism of ‘rendition’ when they had invaded Arab countries. Anyway, they victimize innocent people for their own interest, which cannot be justified for any reasons. Generally, incidents which are not politically motivated tend to have a successful and safe resolution. We should never use others' life for my own sake.
