In this episode, we explore the rise of youth radicalization and the potential for online platforms to play a role in the radicalization process with Jack Wippell, an expert in extremism and radicalization. Jack shares insights into the factors that make individuals susceptible to radical ideologies and the impact of social and emotional learning (SEL) in preventing young people from falling prey to dangerous online influences. We discuss the prevalence of radicalization, the characteristics of those who hold extreme beliefs, and the challenges of navigating the online world. Jack highlights the importance of SEL in developing critical thinking skills, emotional intelligence, and empathy to help young people navigate the complexities of the modern world.
