The need for a “De-Radicalization strategy”

(5 votes)

As the level of extremism across our society reaches an alerting level, there is an urgent need for a strategy to de-radicalize. The increased radicalism is a direct result of failed social policies that have created fertile land for the growth of these ideologies.

Legal and legislative avenues must be courageously used in order to address the predominance of these groups and close the spaces in our society that allows extremism to grow.

A successful strategy must use more than the traditional methods such as some verbal statements or distributing books and other materials. It requires concrete interventions on the ground, practical steps to use social policies, education and cultural activities.

In addition, any efficient strategy must also make changes to the academic curriculum that is currently too influenced by regressive ideologies that discourage critical thinking. Our education system inhibits the personality and creativity of our children; it limits progressive thinking and prepares them as receivers for extremist ideologies and radicalism. 

While concrete steps are necessary, the strategy must be based on short, medium and long-term outcomes. Prompt intervention is required to limit the spread of close-minded ideologies in both schools and universities. Additionally, a cultural strategy must be implemented to foster a society of enlightened people with strong culture and nationalism that can help fill the vacuum.

We are facing a need for a genuine cultural revolution in our society. In order to address the extremism in our society we must accept that it is essential to revise social and political policies from social justice to human capacity building and increasing quality of services. At the same time, it is important to start focusing on cultural initiatives such as theater, art and sport as well as other critical thinking activities.
