'Without emotion, no darkness could turn into light, no justice could turn into action.'
Carl Jung
Emotional Famous psychologists Mayer and Salovey define the concept we call intelligence as follows, after some academic studies they conducted in 1990; 'Emotional intelligence is the ability of a person to recognize his own emotions and the emotions of other people, to distinguish between emotions and to use all this information correctly in the formation of thoughts and behaviors.' A new news we hear every day in the societies we live in reminds me of tolerance, respect and love between people. It reminds us that emotions are gradually decreasing. Accumulation of stress of living conditions leads to depression, anxiety, insomnia and eating disorders. In our modern age, the decrease in emotions between people reduces people's ability to control themselves and cope with difficulties. Especially in our country, the economic crisis, difficult living conditions and personal problems reduce people's power of control and tolerance. According to the study reports made by the Ministry of Health, one in every five people in our country needs professional help while trying to cope with deep depression.
The attention levels of today's children and young people are gradually decreasing and their desire to learn is decreasing. Many of our young people lack energy and prefer abstention. I think many people have heard the words 'children today are much smarter'. However, the truth is that while each generation seems smarter than the previous one, it gradually moves away from love, respect, compassion, empathy and some moral values, and emerges by establishing unsafe and unhealthy relationships.
The concept of EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE, which is also supported by scientific studies, is moving away. I think we all need to listen more. Because we live in a world where there is an incredible increase in acts of violence, abuse and bullying, where people no longer act with human instincts, and where economic conditions put intense pressure on people.
While scientists are looking for an answer to the question 'What directs our behavior?' They reached important conclusions; ‘ THE FORMATION OF OUR BEHAVIOR NDA WORKS IN OUR BRAIN BY FUNCTIONING AS MUCH AS OUR FEELINGS AS OUR THOUGHTS.'
According to Prof. GARDNER's multiple intelligence theory, emotional intelligence; It is defined as 'all the abilities that must be acquired in order to control emotions, establish healthy and harmonious social relationships and live a happy life'.
Emotional intelligence is a person's ability to recognize his own value and power in order to live a productive and more effective life, to understand his own emotions. is being aware of it. Only in this way can people benefit themselves and their environment and feel the courage to contribute to humanity.
