Internet conflicts and emotional intelligence


In response to a few comments made about recent articles, the point of contention is not with beliefs but rather with ethics or lack thereof. On the internet as with any other social forum it is imperative to be civil at all times. Discussions need not get heated with homophobic slurs and erroneous remarks. Respect for interpersonal-communication is paramount and anything else is intolerable.

In regards to women taking their husbands surname is certainly a personal choice. The article, The name game is lame and tame provides new information based on the documentary film Journey of Man. Specifically, it points out how men have a significant biological role in the survival of humanity. The fact that they carry the Y-chromosome indicates, in the era of socialized modern feminism, that their contribution is misunderstood. In the event of a marital union it would be socially cognitive to represent said qualities in the family by adopting his surname.

In contemporary society many women are educated and have successful careers before settling down in matrimony. Therefore, it is practical for women to adopt her husband’s surname as well as maintain her maiden name. Having nothing to do with politics, this would enable continuity if her work is closely related to her name but include her husbands, thus reflecting their union when in social situations.

Open anger in society has unethical implications unless it is reared toward protecting those who cannot speak for themselves like children. In internet forums, the written word fueled by anger is unleashed by anonymity. These concerns won’t be taken seriously unless self-control is practiced. It is a joy to bestow the natural anthropological observations and the hope is to encourage fruitful exchange of ideas.
