Youth leaning towards extremism/violence 

• • Ms. Hilaria – Recently came across News about extreme violent actions led by the youth for unreasonable situations frequently. Thought to discuss this in the common forum.

• • Mr. Gokul – Politicians provoking many youth to take extreme actions for their party/individual’s benefits. 

• • Mr. Saravanan – The reason behind every political extremism is the foment of party/leaders benefits. Political parties using their followers unlawfully against the law. Political parties are merely prompting violence  among people to prove their some form of supremacy over belief, position, idea or course of action. 

• • Ms. Trillia – There is huge corporatism behind invoking extremism among people. People get manipulated towards severe/violent actions for the so-called frame of popularity. Meme is a powerful corporate’s tool and it’s used vitally in provoking youth, children and even adults towards indictable movement.

• Mr. Suresh – Case 1. Self extremism is not the result of a single unfavourable situation rather it’s a consequence of a series of failures or discords. Case 2. Provoking extremism in others for one’s favour. These two cases are strongly desist by intellectual learning and practice.
