Social Intelligence And Social Justice

Social Intelligence and Social Justice helps readers become more aware of the power and complexities of societies and social justice in their everyday lives. Our social intelligence, the sum total of this understanding, shows us how societies and social justice are related to families, beliefs, social classes, and cultures, as well as how we can change societies and ourselves. Increasing our social intelligence develops meaning and purpose in our lives, so that we can be critical about our ongoing world views. As we become more socially intelligent, we are freer and more independent of major social influences, as well as more effective in contributing to the common good. For example, we gain courage to let go of our most contradictory, unproductive social identities, so that we can choose more authentic societal affiliations and work cooperatively with others to build better, and more just, societies. Becoming more objective about societies and social justice, through increasing our social intelligence, makes us stronger and healthier. Furthermore, because social intelligence and social justice concerns are learned, we can pass on this valuable knowhow to others, especially to members of the next generation.
