Today, within the framework of the TDM–16 program, a seminar for faculty members and students was held on the topic “Issues of Preventing Radical Ideology” in Room 316 of the Faculty of Philosophy and Political Science. The event was organized by the Deputy Dean for Social and Educational Affairs, Beibit Boltekovna Ayazbayeva, and Candidate of Philosophical Sciences, Associate Professor of the Department of Religious Studies and Cultural Studies, Zhanna Urinbasarovna Kantarbayeva.
The seminar was dedicated to discussing issues of ideological security in contemporary society, the reasons for the spread of radical views, and ways to prevent them. The main objective of the seminar was to reveal the essence of radical ideology, scientifically explain its social, cultural, and psychological factors, and identify the effectiveness of preventive work among young people. It was noted that under the conditions of globalization, the expansion of the information space, the influence of social networks, and the crisis of spiritual values create a favorable environment for the spread of radical ideas.
During the seminar, the concept of radical ideology was analyzed from philosophical and political science perspectives, and its differences from extremism and terrorism were explained through concrete examples. In addition, the mechanisms through which destructive ideologies influence the consciousness of young people, as well as the dangers of false religious and political slogans, were thoroughly examined. The speakers emphasized that radical views are often closely linked to factors such as social injustice, low levels of education, and weak critical thinking skills.
Special attention was paid to the importance of preventive measures. In particular, the role of educational and upbringing work within the education system was highlighted, along with the significance of the humanities—including philosophy, religious studies, and political science—in shaping the worldview of young people. Open dialogue, the development of a culture of tolerance, and the promotion of national and universal human values were identified as key tools in preventing radical ideology.
The seminar was conducted in a discussion format, allowing participants to freely express their opinions and ask questions. Both students and faculty members agreed that in combating radical ideology, not only restrictive measures are important, but above all, educational, explanatory, and cultural-educational activities are the most effective.
