Kurosh-Amitsur radical theories have been developed for various algebraic structures. Whenever the notion of a normal substructure is not transitive, this causes quite some problems in obtaining satisfactory general results. Some of the more important questions concerning the general theory of radicals are whether semisimple classes are hereditary, do radical classes satisfy the ADS-property, can semisimple classes be characterized by closure conditions (e.g., is semisimple=coradical), is Sands' Theorem valid and lastly, does the lower radical construction terminate. For associative and alternative rings, all these questions have positive answers. The method of proof is the same in both cases. In [15], Puczylowski used the results of Terlikowska-Oslowska [18, 19] and hinted at a condition which is crucial in obtaining the positive answers to the above questions.
