Abstract
The study aims to investigate the issue of growing extremism with reference to the wider theme
of societal factors as a reason for this growing menace. Society is responsible for developing
particular behaviours amongst dwellers. Their attitudes are shaped up by multiple influencing
factors around; it may be political, economic, or it may be merely an influence supported by
culture. This study explores the said factors within two dimensions; 1. the effects of cultural
and social identity on human behaviour; and 2. the influence of uncertainty on growing
extremism and crimes. Quantitative data was collected from a highly educated segment of
society from all over Pakistan. To obtain the data, a Likert scale was administered amongst
research participants; who are working as educational leaders, teachers, scholars and
tertiary level students. The findings of the research are thought-provoking and setting a
direction to work forward and to dig up more.
