SOCIAL: SOCIAL ETIQUETTE
When we communicate and build relationship with others, it is such a satisfying feeling. We cherish these feelings for our entire life time. But lets talk about those who are left to fend for themselves. Those that we forgot along the way in our journey to accomplish our aspirations. Lets talk about those that we may not necessarily like. I think that communicating and developing relationships responsibly should be everyone’s priority. This involves being a certain way. We must keep our discretion when we are out there in the places where people socialize. Although we don’t like a person and we may say negative things about this person to our friends, we must maintain civility. To do this we need to exhibit social etiquette. You keep face by being kind and helpful to a person when directly speaking or communicating with the person you dislike. You at this moment need to keep your biases in check. Ensure that these don’t interrupt your thinking and communication. You need to realize that being alone is a risk and that it is dangerous. Therefore, although we do not like a person, we must always ensure that they are not forgotten and left alone. We must always be responsible and remember what our sergeant says, “no man left behind.” This saying goes far beyond its initial meaning and we must be socially responsible in our actions ensuring that we maintain social etiquette for those that are left behind are at risk of danger whether its danger from themselves or others. We need to look at the bigger picture and realize that each and everyone of us has a place in this world.

SOCIAL: THE PROBLEM WITH IQ TESTS
The IQ test is a test administered to people to determine their intelligence. Those who score high are considered to be intelligent. The problem here is that this intelligence is only measured against the expectations of society. This results in people that are intelligent out of a pool of people within that society. I mean, the IQ test is a test to determine how someone stacks up to what the institution deems is, “smart.” They may be missing or not looking at those people whom are intelligent through their personal experience. This type of intelligence can be tested by plotting a person’s history and basing questions around their experience. This type of testing can determine those whom are intelligently specialized to their chosen task/ (s). The IQ test questions come from society and it is not necessarily the case that someone who scores a high IQ equals success. What determines success is adaptability to one’s personal trials and tribulations. Therefore, success is highly subjective, in that it is up to the person and their conquering of their personal conflicts that would determine their personal aptitude when in relation to their own battles. Just because someone scores a high IQ it doesn’t mean that they have mastered their own personal conflicts. It only means that their thinking processes are above the expectation of society. The mastery of ones own personal conflicts is the real intelligence that is not looked at in our society. It is this intelligence that would evidently lead a person to experience their subjective success.

SOCIAL: WHY SOME PEOPLE ARE MEAN
Have you ever felt the need or have ever been compelled to be mean to a possible crush. This is actually common and it happens everyday. We often overlook this but I feel that it is a crucial part of understanding relations. Im not one to speak but from experience I have noticed that this can affect it in two ways. It could bode well for you or go down in flames essentially ruining what you have been working towards with that person. I have had it both ways and to the extent that someone actually threatened me that they would no longer speak or be my friend. I find that when it comes to these things you have to take the risk or stand to loose it all. This teasing actually occurs because people want to maintain control over the other person. This results in a power struggle. The reason why someone would want such control is because they don’t want to be taken for. People take advantage of those that are too nice and those that are too nice don’t recognize that they are too nice. They say, “kill em with kindness,” but I feel this is just the lefts response to oppress the other side. They do it in such a way as to censor the other person through passive aggressive means. I feel that there needs to be a balance of control when dealing with others. In my personal experience I always try to have leverage. And it is this leverage that is the saving grace of all your hopes. Having leverage allows one to be competitive and aggressive. This leverage allows one to conquer. It gives control to chaotic situations. And these situations can improve ones quality of life if the matters are dealt with elegance.
