Module 4. Emotional intelligence

The relevance of IQ in measuring a person's excellence is being frequently questioned nowadays. Emotions are recognized to be critical units of everyday activities in different contexts whether you attend an interview, make a presentation or call off a date. To handle all the challenges successfully you need to demonstrate enough level of emotional intelligence by managing your feelings, empathizing with others and building communal networks.

More importantly, emotional intelligence skills are being cultivated in modern schools and are subsequently requested while applying for a job position. Remarkably, the skills of being sympathetic and helpful or staying stress-resistant are all developed through communication.

 Module 5. Emotion Concepts

Our obvious ignorance of  exotic emotion concepts in the cultures of  far-away countries such as  Ifaluk (Micronesia) "song" for very approximate English "anger" doesn't prevent us from failing to discern the relation of an emotion to its wording in the world-known languages. One of the possible ways to explain it is non-translatibility or culture specific expressions for "universal" emotions.  But many a scholar conform it to the linguistic relativity, echoing the Humboldtian romantic viewpoint that "The diversity of languages is not a diversity of signs and sounds but a diversity of views of the world".
