As we know, the notion or sect that wants social and political change or renewal by means of violence or drastic to its roots is called Radicalism. People who have a radicalism mindset are often seen as political extremists in any form, both left and right.

Right extremism (Religious Fundamentalists) is a term that refers to a segment of the political spectrum which is usually often combined with conservatism, classical liberalism, and right-wing religious groups.

While left extremism (Communist) is a group that is usually associated with socialist or social democracy. There are many understandings of "radicalism" one of the explanations is the understanding that can have an influence on the socio-political conditions of a country.

Today, radicalism is closely related to the concepts of extremism and terrorism. The notion of radicalism itself requires changes, replacements, and penetrations of a community system to its roots

This understanding itself has drawn a lot of opposition in various countries, because this understanding is considered contrary to the philosophy of life of the nation and the path taken is the path of violence. Radicalism itself can occur in various aspects of people's lives, both social, religious, economic, and even political.

If you look at the history of radicalism, there is a long history of radicalism in the world. Before it was known as radicalism, the history began with the use of the term radical.

The term radical cannot be separated from a character named Charles James Fox, then this term is used in relation to the parliamentary reform movement. In the 19th century, there was a radical change in the meaning of the term influenced by the philosophical ideas of anthropocentrism.

This influence clearly makes the term radical closely associated with Marxists or other ideological groups that support fundamental and violent socio-political changes through revolution.

Meanwhile in the United States, the term radicalism is closely related to right (fascism) and left (communism) political extremism. This term later developed and refers to something negative attached to violence or terrorism. Even today the term radicalism is often associated with certain religious groups.

Of course there are characteristics that we need to recognize as early as possible so that we don't fall into something that is radicalism. The characteristics of radicalism are as follows, terrorism and anti-state.

In addition to the characteristics that we can recognize, there are also attitudes that we need to know that this attitude includes radicalism so that we can avoid this understanding. or think that they are self-righteous and think that something different is wrong, exclusively distinguishes themselves from Muslims in general, tends to use violence to get their wishes and achieve their goals.

With knowledge about attitudes that can be categorized as radicalism, it is hoped that we can avoid this behavior. This radicalism is really troubling and we must avoid it in order to maintain the integrity of the nation.

Other things we need to know are the factors that trigger radicalism that can occur due to the environment in which we live, social conditions and even economic conditions, such as feeling injustice and disappointment with the government, then environmental influences abroad which can be a triggering factor. radicalism, getting injustice globally is also a trigger for radicalism, besides the influence of arrogant foreign policy, modern imperialism of superpowers, shallow and narrow understanding of religion also triggers the emergence of radicalism behavior.

With the existence of radicalism itself, of course, is highly opposed by the community and a lot of people worry. Of course, in this case various efforts must be made by the government to prevent radicalism.

However, the government alone is not enough to prevent us, we must also be actors in helping the government with various efforts including introducing general science and religion properly and correctly, understanding general science and religion properly and correctly, trying to minimize social inequality in society, taking part and support peace actions, Take part and play an active role in reporting radicalism and terrorism, Increase understanding of living together, cleverly filter the information obtained, take part in socializing the dangers of radicalism and terrorism.
