You believe in achieving transformative social, political, and economic change through revolutionary means to create a more equitable and just society.
Radicalism is a political ideology that advocates for fundamental or drastic social, political, and economic reforms, with the aim of addressing perceived injustices within society. The term "radical" originates from the Latin word "radix," which means "root." This is reflective of the ideology's intent to address issues at their root cause, often proposing sweeping changes to societal structures.
The history of radicalism dates back to the late 18th century, during the Age of Enlightenment. This period was characterized by a shift in thinking, with…

How can radically different cultural traditions teach us about the benefits and challenges of diversity?
I dont know what this means, but everyone should be treated with respect for one another.
@9JPLNWCWomen’s Equality2yrs2Y
Differing cultures provide insight to the mindsets of others and the societal differences that others experiance. However, this can be challanging given personal belifs or the definition of normality for individuals.
@9JPFBRC2yrs2Y
it can teach us that some of the things that we did were wrong and that is how we can learn to make sure that we don't repeat history.
@9JNZD5T2yrs2Y
They open us up to a whole new world we've never heard of before or seen. And some people choose to reject it, while some embrace it
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How does the idea of a high school student inventing something revolutionary challenge our expectations?
@9JDGZQF2yrs2Y
I believe our "expectations" should be if something revolutionary is created that we should appreciate it no matter who invented it.
@9JDGSH22yrs2Y
i don't expect much from highschoolers, what are they gonna come up with that actual politicians can't?
@9JDG3QQProgressive2yrs2Y
People don’t expect Highschool students to care so when a student is extraordinary than it is eye opening
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
In which ways do radical movements bring attention to issues that might otherwise be ignored?
@9HKB8RM2yrs2Y
radicalism can help shed light on topics that would most likely get ignored
@9HKB9XJ2yrs2Y
radical movements bring attention to issues because a group of people are getting together and fighting political movements together and that gathers a lot of attention now in days.
@9HKBD7C2yrs2Y
They bring issues into the spot light and can be effective if done in a safe way.
@9HKBMPW2yrs2Y
they bring attention to issues by completing political or social reform.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
If you could implement one bold change in your school, what would it be and why?
@9L8FQN8Independent2yrs2Y
Technology Usage
Teacher Training
Cultural Activities
Motivational Guests
Student Counseling
School Maintenance
Parent-teacher Communication
Activities Outside Classrooms
@9SWH8D71yr1Y
Phone ban in all grades for incoming kindergarten students. That or a gym class similar to that of the 60s, segregated by sex for better performance.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Have you ever had to defend a 'radical' idea in a school project or presentation?
@9LFR3JZ1yr1Y
I had because they were saying bad things towards a person's belief which I believe is not right.
@9LFQGF41yr1Y
Radical politics denotes the intent to transform or replace the fundamental principles of a society or political system, often through social change, structural change, revolution, or radical reform.
@9LFQMZW1yr1Y
transform or replace the fundamental principles of a society or political system, often through social change, structural change, revolution or radical reform.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What's a current event that you think may lead to radical changes in society?
@9HKB8WV 2yrs2Y
I believe the rise of the internet age, coupled with rising populism and disconnect between the establishment and its citizens have all led to an increase in radicalism across the board.
@9HKBQDG2yrs2Y
people think you have to be on one side of the spectrum and not on another side.
@9HKB66V2yrs2Y
It might change other people's views and make them believe in what the foreigners believe
@9HKDCM62yrs2Y
Probably the overturn of roe v Wade because it caused massive outrage between women and increased feminism.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How do you think our planet's environmental challenges might benefit from radical thinking?
@9HYYLY82yrs2Y
Because the need for change is so dire, I think radical moves to decrease atmospherical temperature would be beneficial.
@9J4RZ7PRepublican2yrs2Y
Radical action against climate change will not stand. Although I believe there needs to be action taken against climate change, radical action will only infuriate, and not persuade, people who are opposed. Instead, climate change needs to be addressed in a more subtle way, indicating that the fate of future generations, including our children, could be at stake if climate change is not combated efficiently.
@9HYYZQX2yrs2Y
I believe that if we conserve the energy we put into electrical appliances and factories, the environment that we live in currently would not be polluted which decreases the climate change problems affecting us today.
It depends on who the majority is, either it will help or hinder the situation.
@9HYZD5K2yrs2Y
I think that compromise is the only solution to environmental challenges, so radical thinking will not help. It will only further seperate the people and corporations.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
If someone called your most passionate belief 'radical,' how would you feel and respond?
@9HYY8Q5Women’s Equality2yrs2Y
I would probably be upset but I wouldn't ne rude about because everyone is entitled to their own opinion
@9HZSXYX2yrs2Y
I don’t disagree with the response I just think that radical isn’t a bad thing and it means different things to everyone.
@9HYYBQP2yrs2Y
I wouldn't really make a big deal out of it or even care
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Could you justify using radical means if it led to a positive outcome for the majority?
@9HKBQ8L2yrs2Y
I think it can be justified but only in extreme situations
@9HKBCZRRepublican2yrs2Y
Radicalism towards a positive outcome is perfectly fine if someone abides by their morals and by laws.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What's an example of a change in your life that felt radical at the time, but now seems normal?
@9HT5WFX2yrs2Y
Radical changes in my life occur all the time, because life is ever changing and growing. an example would be when I got my licence, that was a huge change for me but now I drive every day and its a very normal thing.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Have you ever felt that a cause you believe in required a radical solution more than a conventional one?
@9HT5WFX2yrs2Y
the only cause that I believe needs a radical solution is the citizens of the united states protecting their god given rights. Many different people and organizations, not just around the world, but in america itself are constantly and consistently trying to take our rights away through many different means, and it is the constitutional right of the people to overthrow the government and start over when this happens. which would be a very radical situation, however it needs to happen.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Have you ever felt a radical change was necessary in your personal habits for the betterment of your health or well-being?
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Have you ever been inspired by someone's courage to embrace an unconventional path in life, and what did that teach you?
@9KM84652yrs2Y
I was inspired by the courage of Alice Paul that she went on hungar strikes and endured prosecution to achieve voting rights for women.
@9KM7WXM2yrs2Y
I have been inspired by the ability of others to break away or "stick it to the man", it's taught me that I don't have to be a cog in a machine.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Why do you think some people fear radical ideologies, while others are drawn to them?
@9HK9C2C2yrs2Y
Because radicalism is too far and people who are radicalize are more likely to commit violence. Other people who are drawn are likely outcast who need to turn to something.
@82YT87Q 2yrs2Y
Mob mentality and frustration. If you can make people hate someone as a community, you can garner favor as their savior.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What historical act of bravery has inspired you to stand up for your beliefs, no matter how unconventional?
Martin Luther King's speech affected a lot of people and how they can speak their beliefs no matter others opinions about it. So I guess MLK changed the way I think about bravery because he stood up when no one would and fought for his freedom.
@9JB93VH2yrs2Y
No historical act has necessarily inspired me to do anything.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
When has saying 'no' to something popular felt like a radical act, and how did that decision shape your values?
@9JQ2Z682yrs2Y
It felt like you shouldn't of had said anything in the first place because then everyone who disagrees will attack me for my beliefs
@9JQ2NP52yrs2Y
whenever i say no to something i know someone else wants me to do and i would do it to make them happy but instead chose my own happiness and do what i want
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How would you defend your support for or against a radical idea in a classroom debate?
@9LJJT4H1yr1Y
I would start off with letting people know that it is okay to believe what they want to believe everyone has their on beliefs when it comes to political and religious belief and then start with what I believe and why
@9LHHSXH1yr1Y
Shouldn't things aren't radical if they involve commen sense.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
If a friend suggested a radical way to solve a common problem, how open would you be to trying it, and why?
@9J7V33P2yrs2Y
If a solution fits the problem then I do not see why it would be a problem. Now, if the solution is something that would harm other people or put them at risk then that should not be an option.
@9J7TYJ92yrs2Y
It would depend on how radical it would be, I could always come to a compromise with them and then might try it because the experience of doing things to create memories is something that we cannot take back because this is our only life.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Can you spot a trend or pattern in society today that you believe is calling for a radical response?
@9HYRQJXIndependent2yrs2Y
Teens speeding and dying after a horrible car accident.

@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
When have you challenged or wanted to change a family tradition because it no longer fit modern values?
@9L87V2V2yrs2Y
I don't want to pursue a traditional heteronormative family structure
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
If the opportunity presented itself, would you participate in a protest for a cause you're passionate about, and why?
@9KHG48L 2yrs2Y
Participating in a protest for a cause one is passionate about can be seen as a form of civic engagement and a means to effect positive social change. Here's why:
1. Amplifying Marginalized Voices: Protests allow marginalized communities and individuals to have their voices heard and their concerns acknowledged. Participating in a protest allows one to stand in solidarity with marginalized groups, advocating for their rights and demanding justice.
2. Challenging Power Structures: Protests can challenge existing power structures and systems of oppression. They can draw attention to inequali… Read more

When has a new technology felt like a radical disruption in life, and how did you adapt to it?
@9JPMKRH2yrs2Y
Scrolling has affected schools and the education environment, by lowering attention spans.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Reflect on a time when a small, 'radical' act of kindness from someone unexpectedly improved your day.
@9KB66KQ2yrs2Y
I work on a military base and on this particular day it was not going well. This soldier asked me about my day and complimented me, it just made the day better.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What’s a belief you hold that others in your circle might see as radical, and how does that shape your identity?
@9K8V9G4 2yrs2Y
Cultures are different. If it was otherwise - there would be no war, no immigration and no borders. If there is something to secure and take, than it has to be. I personaly expirienced difference in cultures as a ukrainian who contacted many people from the west and Russia at the same time. They are very different and I can specifically point were one culture is superior to another.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What's an instance where you or someone you know went against the grain for something you firmly believe in?
@9JBL2HD2yrs2Y
I make it a point to maintain people of sanity, as I firmly believe if you think something against me at that point it must have justification
