grad-spiral-of-silence

Apply spiral of silence theory (Noelle-Neumann) to analyze how perceived opinion climate suppresses minority expression. Use this skill when the user needs to understand why certain viewpoints disappear from public discourse, evaluate the role of fear of isolation in opinion expression, or assess opinion climate dynamics — even if they say 'why are people afraid to speak up', 'silent majority', or 'social pressure on opinions'.
