Abstract:

Civic education is essential to determine the attitudes and principles necessary for a democratic society. Civic education is a strategic tool to prevent and counter increasing Radicalism and extremism. One of the aims of this research is to investigate the contribution of civic education to the suppression of extremism and Radicalism. A literature review will analyze the basic ideas of citizenship education and how they influence our understanding of human rights, tolerance, and respect for diversity. The research focuses on instilling civic principles to build critical thinking and distance each individual from radical perspectives. In addition, this research will investigate implementing civic education to prevent Radicalism and extremism. To overcome the threat of Radicalism, related parties, such as schools, government, and society, should be actively involved. Hopefully, this research will provide in-depth insight into how citizenship education can help combat and stop the spread of radical ideology. Citizenship Education will also provide relevant policy suggestions on how citizenship education can increase its role in building an inclusive and safe society from the threat of Radicalism and extremism.
