Places worldwide that host much diversity within their populations should utilize it as a resource to promote tolerance in the future.

Online radicalization is the process
by which an individual is introduced to an
ideological message and belief system that
encourages movement from mainstream
beliefs toward extreme views, primarily
through the use of online media, including
social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, and
YouTube.

Therefore, law enforcement agencies should
use community policing principles to address
and counter online radicalization.

Radicalism and extremism can be found on the Internet, as well as in many other places. If on the Internet appears sites with ambiguous content that calls for violence and discrimination, if there is an inappropriate dictionary, it can be radicalization or extremism.

There are various online sites with many different content that we visit every day. If the things we read on the sites have violent content or suspicious data then we can notice that it is about radicalization and extremism.

Identifying online radicalism or extremism can be recognized by what our interlocutor, friend shares, lays, and is contrary to our traditional beliefs and beliefs.

It is very important to anticipate the recognition of radicalization at the right time with a comprehensive dialect, and at the same time to reveal the interlocutor with his ideas that are not with our traditional convictions.

How to report and disseminate warnings about radicalism and extremism?
First we can tell the people who are sharing radicalism/extremism to stop that or we can tell someone who really will take care of that to stop . If radicalism/extremism is affected on us somehow we have to tell are parents or the police i don't know.

Radicalization (or radicalisation) is a process by which an individual, or group comes to adopt increasingly extreme political, social, or religious ideals and aspirations that reject or undermine the status quo or undermine contemporary ideas and expressions of the nation. The outcomes of radicalization are shaped by the ideas of the society at large; for example, radicalism can originate from a broad social consensus against progressive changes in society or from a broad desire for change in society. Radicalization can be both violent and nonviolent, although most academic literature focuses on radicalization into violent extremism (RVE).There are multiple pathways that constitute the process of radicalization, which can be independent but are usually mutually reinforcing.Radicalization that occurs across multiple reinforcing pathways greatly increases a group’s resilience and lethality. Furthermore, by compromising its ability to blend in with non-radical society and participate in a modern, national economy, radicalization serves as a kind of sociological trap that gives individuals no other place to go to satisfy their material and spiritual needs.

Young people may be vulnerable to a range of risks as they pass through adolescence. They may be exposed to new influences and potentially risky behaviours, influence from peers, influence from older people or the internet as they may begin to explore ideas and issues around their identity.There is no single driver of radicalisation, nor is there a single journey to becoming radicalised. The internet creates more opportunities to become radicalised, since it’s a worldwide 24/7 medium that allows you to find and meet people who share and will reinforce your opinions. Research tells us that the internet and face-to-face communications work in tandem, with online activity allowing a continuous dialogue to take

Social media sites, like Facebook, Ask FM and Twitter, can be used by extremists looking to identify, target and contact young people. It’s easy to pretend to be someone else on the internet, so children can sometimes end up having conversations with people whose real identities they may not know, and who may encourage them to embrace extreme views and beliefs.Often children will be asked to continue discussions, not via the mainstream social media, but via platforms, such as Kik Messenger, Whisper, Yik Yak or Omegle. Moving the conversation to less mainstream platforms can give users a greater degree of anonymity and can be less easy to monitor.People who encourage young people to do this are not always strangers. In many situations they may already have met them, through their family or social activities, and then use the internet to build rapport with them. Sometimes children don’t realise that their beliefs have been shaped by others, and think that the person is their friend, mentor, boyfriend or girlfriend.

The internet has always been a place where you could see the very extremes of society. Unfortunately, it seems like that may be one of the more toxic aspects of everyone's favorite technology. In recent years, we have been seeing a large rise in political and religious extremism on the net.The impact of internet extremism isn't hard to see.People fueled by online propaganda and echo chambers are beginning to incite violence against innocent people in reality. Politicians are beginning to side with online hate groups in both overt and underhanded ways.
Online, attackers on both sides of the political spectrum are beginning to attack those who disagree with them. (Though, it seems like most people who are launching attacks are on the far right.)

Facebook is fighting extremism on the net by blocking posts involving hate speech, violence, and other extreme beliefs.
It's pretty obvious that one of the most common ways that hate speech gets propagated is through social media. No one is more aware of this than social media giant, Facebook. Facebook is now leading the pack against extremism on the net — at least, on a social media level. Due to mounting government pressure, Facebook has begun to speed up its process when it came to investigating and also reporting content that could be linked to religious extremism, terrorism, and political violence to authorities. Representatives believe that they may be able to prevent attacks from happening by stopping Facebook communications in their tracks.

And YouTube is currently one of the biggest recruiting groups for the Islamic State and other extremists. Therefore, it shouldn't be shocking that YouTube's commitment to fighting extremism on the net involved removing content related to terrorism and right wing ideologies. The company has definitely not been lax about it, either. Within six months of YouTube's promise to remove extremist videos from the platform, around half of all videos labeled as extreme in ideology were taken down. Moreover, any extremist videos that are left up on YouTube are demoted, and video creators are no longer allowed to make money off views. Those who click on them also have to acknowledge the warning notice that the videos contain supremacist, misogynist, or extremist attitudes.

Online radicalism or the extremism represent safe social networks that people are using with terrorist targets. They use safety with what they are free to consult for their terrorist targets around the world. Those social networking sites they use on a very cruel way. They endanger the safety of people, spread fear, confusion, insecurity and so on. Social mediums like face-book, you-tube, twitter and corporation Microsoft announce that they are forming a word working group that will unite forces for eliminating terrorist content from their platforms. But their elimination or prevention can never be complete, because there always can be made a new profile with a new content.

Angela Desanoska said

Warnings about radicalism and extremism can be reported through the tools of each social network. With what you choose the appropriate report and you send it to the base of the social network where the report is being analyzed and depending on the content is removed from the social networks or remains on the social networks. You can also warn your friends through social networks about the dangers of radicalism and extremism. Those same friends if they feel threatened by any content that represents radicalism can report it which increases the chances of it is being removed from social networks for a relatively shorter time period.

There must be tolerance and understanding among all people which would rule peace and tranquility throughout the world. Every person needs to demonstrate understanding to other people and to show respect for their attitudes and opinions. In order to achieve understanding among people, there is a need for mutual communication, but for that communication to take place without conflicts, tolerance is needed from both sides. Tolerance is achieved through patience towards the opinions and attitudes of the other that we do not agree with. If we are patient, they would not lead to conflict between the two sides. If a tolerant discussion takes place between the two sides, the chances of detecting a common solution to resolve the conflict without major consequences are greater.

Online radicalization to violence is the process by which an individual is troduced to an ideological message and belief system that encourages movement from mainstream beliefs toward extreme views, primarily through the use of online media, including social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.
1A result of radical interpretations of mainstream religious or political doctrines,
these extreme views tend to justify, promote, incite, or support violence to chieve any number of social, religious, or political changes. In many cases, online radicalization does not occur after viewing one video or reading one online post but happens gradually. The factors that influence a specific individual can change
for him or her depending on the time or circumstance. Moreover, while the factors that influence radicalization differ from person to person, so too does the radicalization process itself. Individuals can move back and forth between stages or remain static while factors and levels interact and influence one another.

Political and religious groups can provide a sense of family or support that children may feel is lacking in their lives. This desire for security could also be due to poverty, unemployment, social isolation or feelings of rejection by their own faith, family or social circle.
In some cases the trigger may be an event, either global or personal, such as being a victim or witness to a race or religious hate crime. Young people may also join these groups as a result of peer pressure and the desire to ‘fit in’ with their social circle.
However, it should also be remembered that not all young people that experience these factors adopt radical views.

You can identify radicalism and extremism if the website is about some random topic, the way somebody is speaking about it and from the things that are being said about some topics

Liljana Ristovska said

at 9:19 am on Oct 30, 2017

You can avoid threads of radicalism and extremism by blocking a person that has said or done something about the topic, you could also report it to your parents and also be very careful about the websites that you visit

Marina Poposka said

at 10:54 pm on Oct 30, 2017

When we use social networks, we should be careful with the vocabulary. Not to use words that ignites hate or violence or can insult other people’s emotions related with religious, political or sexual orientation. We should be polite and choose words in communication.

Marina Poposka said

The internet provides access to endless streams of violent propaganda inspiring others to action, glorifying extremist lifestyles, or perpetuating the spread of hatred and intolerance. The difference between protected speech and illegal incitement can be a very fine line. The internet affords extremists a veritable playground for spotting and assessing individuals who are receptive to a specific grievance or ideology and for sharing radical thoughts and beliefs.

We can еasily recognize extremism/ radicalism if there is post who talks about religion, political or other things that can cause hate between people or the worst war between them. The keywords about this is like dead, kill someone, war etc. The internet has always been a place where you could see the very extremes of society. Unfortunately, it seems like that may be one of the more toxic aspects of everyone's favorite technology. In recent years, we have been seeing a large rise in political and religious extremism on the net.The impact of internet extremism isn't hard to see.People fueled by online propaganda and echo chambers are beginning to incite violence against innocent people in reality.

If we notice some site with extremism or radicalism interests we should report it. The same thing we should do with the person in live, ex: our teacher have different opinion about something so he is trying to change our opinion and cause hate or fight with some group. We need to share the information with others in order to they won't understand it in a wrong way.In countering radicalisation, volunteers also have a role to play. Negative stereotypes fuel hate-filled action and volunteering has the power to break stereotypes and promote understanding and tolerance of differences, thus preventing extremism.

Kate said

Along with outright injustice and violence, discrimination and marginalization are common forms of intolerance. Education for tolerance should aim at countering influences that lead to fear and exclusion of others, and should help young people develop capacities for independent judgement, critical thinking and ethical reasoning. The diversity of our world's many religions, languages, cultures and ethnicities is not a pretext for conflict, but is a treasure that enriches us all. Respect and tolerance are liberating acts, whereby the differences of others are recognized as the same as our own and whereby the riches of another culture are taken as the wealth of all.

The teaching about tolerance and understanding should begin from the homes, because that is where the small children build their personalities and spread to the world what they learned there. Secondly, the schools should provide more projects, examples, situations, acts, short films and with them the students can understand the importance of the good behavior.

There are a number of signs to be aware of (although a lot of them are quite common among teens). Generally parents should look out for increased instances of:
• A conviction that their religion, culture or beliefs are under threat and treated unjustly
• A tendency to look for conspiracy theories and distrust of mainstream media
• The need for identity and belonging
• Being secretive about who they’ve been talking to online and what sites they visit
• Switching screens when you come near the phone, tablet or computer
Possessing items – electronic devices or phones – you haven’t given them
• Becoming emotionally volatile.

Tatjana said

2. We can give warnings for the radicalism/extremism directly to the people who are speaking, writing online on the language of hate. They won't stop sharing radicalism or extremism after the warning; they will continue doing that, so we need to make another thing for reporting. We can tell others if the extremism is affecting directly us. The way of avoiding extremistic or radicalistic way is to ignore people who are sharing that content or simple block them if the case is based on the social media webpages.

Tatjana said

3. Tolerance is the ability or willingness to tolerate the existence of opinions or behavior that one dislikes or disagrees with. Tolerance is also a keyword, very important thing for the humanity. We can tolerate people but in the amounts of normal . Everybody wants to be tolerated by others , so we need also to tolerate others indeed.

EXTREMISM - Extremism can be used to refer to political ideologies that oppose a society’s core values and principles. In the context of liberal democracies this could be applied to any ideology that advocates racial or religious supremacy and/or opposes the core principles of democracy and universal human rights. The term can also be used to describe the methods through which political actors attempt to realise their aims, that is,by using means that ‘show disregard for the life, liberty, and human rights of others small budgets to disseminate their ideas; it allows small businesses
to sell their products worldwide;

RADICALISATION Most of the definitions currently in circulation describe radicalisation as the process (or processes) whereby individuals or groups come to approve of and (ultimately) participate in the use of violence for political aims. Some authors refer to ‘violent radicalisation’ in order to emphasise the violent outcome and distinguish the process from non-violent forms of ‘radical’ thinking.

Goce Gorgioski said

There are a number of behaviours which may indicate a child is at risk of being radicalised or exposed to extreme views. These include;
• Spending increasing time in the company of other suspected extremists.
• Changing their style of dress or personal appearance to accord with the group.
• Day-to-day behaviour becoming increasingly centred on an extremist ideology, group or cause.
• Loss of interest in other friends and activities not associated with the extremist ideology, group or cause.
• Possession of materials or symbols associated with an extremist cause.
• Attempts to recruit others to the group/cause.
• Communications with others that suggests identification with a group, cause or ideology.
• Using insulting to derogatory names for another group.
• Increase in prejudice-related incidents committed by that person – these may include;

We can easily recognize violent radicalization, for example, if someone announces some things that are against the rules of the social network, we should report it to the competent people.

Radicalism and extremism as phenomena are more commonly used in everyday life, and therefore we accept them as something that should not be paid attention. On the contrary, these are words that many should remind in everyday life, and thus distancing people who belong and identify with these words. Many young people, because of the financial situation they are in, increasingly join those groups unaware of the consequences that follow. Fortunately, I have not met such people, but I have listened to the way they promise money, treasures, adventures, unrealized dreams and other beautiful things that young people want to have, to realize them, to experience them, not having the consequences of that. For one thing I know that without deserving no one gives it but so by grace.

For me as a young person, radicalism and extremism as phenomena are more often heard in our lives, and thus we accept them as something that should not be paid attention. These strong words should be warned in everyday life, and therefore we should distance ourselves from people who belong and identify with these words. Many young people, because of the situation they are in, are mostly financially, are increasingly joining these groups unaware of the consequences that follow. Fortunately, I am patriarchically educated and with solid material support from my parents I do not believe in those who promise: treasures, adventures, unrealized dreams and other beautiful things that young people want to have, to realize them, to experience them, without experiencing the consequences of that.
