What will be an ideal response?


A concept closely associated with radicalization is alienation, a term used in several branches of the social sciences, as well as in other disciplines such as theology. Many sociologists define alienation as a process by which an individual or group becomes separated from the values, norms, and mores of the dominant social world. This leads to self-estrangement. The concept was initially popularized by Karl Marx's work on economic alienation, and many sociologists of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries expanded his approach, focusing on concepts like social isolation, lack of meaning, and normlessness
