Radicalization
METRICS
- Significant event: events wherein the intensity of expression is significant and the subject to which the expression is making its proclamation is one of acute disagreement in situ, or one for which there is general sociopolitical disagreement.
I've continuously found evidence of what I believe to be the radicalization of my brother.
This has taken many forms and has occurred continuously over many years, but it is something for which the gravety was never previously determined. What could have previously been attributed to mild dissatisfaction or the adoption of opinions from his surroundings seem to have, at least as far as my personal determinations have lead me to believe, become motivated by an adherence to ideological principles.
Ideological Principles
It is not easy to make the assertion that one's behaviour is significantly motivated by an ideological principle. Perhaps a de facto standard needs to be specified in order to make the evaluation less absurd. Events that are identified for analysis must meet the standard of metric 1, as declared within this document.
Participants of events meeting this specification are scrutinized on the basis of hostility/irritability, willingness to discuss, perceived motivation of expression, nomenclature and likelihood that the instantiation of the event is not to have occurred as a reaction to publicly disseminated views by the opposing participant.
