"Society does not place enough emphasis on the intellect---that is, on reasoning and other cognitive skills."


If society does not place enough emphasis on the intellect, can we enjoy the relaxation of modern life fulfilled with conveniences from various scientific achievements which are result of human’s intellect? Intellect has help society develop more rapidly than ever of human history. Nevertheless, many societal problems come to us with the emphasis of intellect, while non-intellect ---- mainly the emotion ---- can help to decrease the harm.

First, intellect is one of the most significant factors influencing the development of society. Looking around of us, from automobile to airplane, telephone to television, computer to internet, and etc, we are surrounded by big and small intellectual products. We even can hardly imagine what our lives would be like without these manufactures. Thinking about whatever scientific achievements, each of which is busting the flame of human’s intellect.

However, too much emphasis on the intellect might bring about many problems. Taking school education for example, where concentrate one’s most part of intellect cultivation, if teachers only imparts knowledge and cognitive ability to pupils whereas neglecting the health emotion cultivation, the students would probably work like a machine when they enter the society, without ability to get well along with others, corporate enjoyable with members in a team, and relieve depression whenever necessary. Such graduates would not be accepted by companies for they are what said the incapable ones with high school credits. In addition, the fact that society emphasizes the intellect would lead to heavy stress to individuals. Nowadays, many new physical phenomenon like depression, anxiety, and overstrain which are results of high level intellect work, have not been simply some kind of feeling but indeed substantial diseases. These diseases are eroding our bodies when we are self-satisfied with our intellect products.

As intellect can not solve these problems, emotion might be an effective way. Positive emotions such as friendship, happiness, optimism and so on, would assist people defeat difficulty; ease one’s stress in working place and so on. Capability of exerting proper emotional skills also could be propitious to prevent one from depression, depravation, or anti-social. Nowadays, when facing to numerous graduates with high intellect quality, lots of companies increase emotion quality tests in order to select real competent candidates. Because a high emotion level can help one not only exerts his/her intellect ability more efficiently and usefully but also cooperate with others more felicitously and correctly. A firm must be favor of stuff with smile on the face and minds in the head but one like a maniac or an unmeaning machine.

Both intellect and emotion should be emphasized by society which must find an optimal balance of them. In a sense, intellect skills are like branches of a tree while emotional skills like leaves. Without leaves help to complete photosynthesis, the branches will loose vigor and the tree would no doubt die. Without emotional skills help to control one’s mood, intellect might not only lead to diseases but also a confusion of society and finally even lead human beings to road of death. Similarly, without intellect skills, people will certainly not enjoy such a wonderful and modern life with profuse spiritual world.

In sum, intellect and emotion are a duality constituting our mind and therefore perform an important function on the society. To advance the social productivity, it is significant to balance the development of both intellect and emotion. So, emphasizing intellect is undoubtedly rational with the precondition that corresponding emotion must also be emphasized.
