Why are some people assassinated and others murdered what importance do you need for that?

Answer 1

You almost sound jealous or worried that you won't be assassinated. Well anyways to understand the difference let's look at the etymology or origin of the word first to get a better understanding .
The word 'assassination' (sometimes accredited to Shakespeare) comes from the Old French word 'assassis', hashish eaters who committed murder. The Italian word 'assassino' originally meant hashish eater but eventually came to mean murderer. In Arabic the word hashshashin , again literally, meant hashish eater, in reference to a religious and military order located chiefly in the mountains of Lebanon. Those hashish eaters were noted for carrying out secret murders in blind obedience to their leader, a condition brought on because the members selected to commit a murder, especially of a king or public figure, were first intoxicated with hashish. The term as we now use it still refers chiefly to a murder of a public figure.
To put it in more simple terms anyone of importance that can make a large change (especially in a country) for the good (usually) is a threat and therefore they are assassinated. Assassination and murder are the same thing. Example: John F. Kennedy was killed because he and his brother Bobby Kennedy had the guts to go against the mob, hold off (mind bending technique and a smart one) with the Cuban Missile Crisis and did many more things. They truly were for 'the people' and that meant they were stepping on too many toes and those that would lose their positions and power, careers ruined and less money would be involved not to mention graft! Martin Luther King, Jr., was assassinated because he dared, as a black man to try to bring people together for peace. He was considered a threat. Some actors are murdered because the fan wants them all to themselves, or, they feel betrayed by not getting the attention they feel they deserve from that actor. Re female actors when murdered the fan that has murdered them has an obsession with them.

Answer 2

Assassination is typically used to refer to the targeted killing of a public figure or someone of importance due to political, religious, or ideological reasons. Murder, on the other hand, is the unlawful killing of a person without a specific political or public motive. The distinction lies in the significance or status of the victim and the motives behind the killing.
