Problem and solution

Nowadays, it is of great important to enhance the awareness of the importance of emotional intelligence among undergraduate students. To acchieve this, many things can be done by NUS and Engineering Faculty. Firstly, Engineering Faculty can add some general education modules(GEM) about emotional intelligence to help students learn the importance of emotional intelligence. Moreover, some bonus marks of such modules can be set. By learning such GEMs, undergraduates will obtain the knowledge of emotional intelligence comprehensively during their study process. However, it may be not an effective way to help undergraduates. The undegraduates may just cram to the exam but ignore the details. Secondly, clubs about emotional intelligence can be set to help undergraduates. Through interesting acitivities and conversations, many undergraduates will benefit from them and be aware of the importance of emotional intelligence. However, as there are many clubs in NUS, this club will easily be ignored. Hence, its function will be limited. Lastly, NUS can print various brochures about emotional intelligence. It is certain that a number of students can get them. Obviously, most of them will learn about emotional intelligence. However, the cost is relatively high. To sum up, NUS and Engineering Faculty can take several measures to help students learn the importance of emotional intelligence.

Cause and effect

Undoubtedly, emotional intelligence is one of the most indispendable features in daily life. It is a bridge of communication and a tool to keep oneself in a appropriate mood. Without the help of emotional intelligence, we cannot exist in a multicultural country like Singapore. Firstly, if there is no interpersonal communication, many deviations in cognition and mind cannot be eliminated. It is well known that there are several religions in Singapore. As they are all related to the belief and spirit, they may result in serious conflicts without proper commincation and understanding. Then, a harmonious society will collapse because of the escalation of religious conflicts. Therefore, without appropriate communication, the congitious deviations will exist and result in unexpected ending. Secondly, self-control is also of great important in a multicultural society. Obviously, there may be many things that you cannot understand with your value and cognition. When you encounter such things, you need to force youself to accept them to keep a stable and harmonious society. If everyone cannot tolerate others’ habit and thus insult mutually, the society will also be unrest. Hence, self-control is also an important thing in a multicultural society. In general, we need emotional intelligence in a multicultural society like Singapore.

Comparison between Peter the Great and Emperor KangXi

As we know, Peter the Great and Emperror KangXi are both famous politists in history. They contributed to Russia and China a lot and forged the power of these two great empires. However, the ways under which they lead their countries are different and thus the two great countries was influenced to a great extend. Firstly, Peter the Great was a creative leader willing to bring in new technologies and ethos,while KangXi was a conservetive ruler with a strong desire to block new stuffes. When Russia was under the rule of Peter the Great, the national institutes for science and technology was built. In additional, the fundamental of many new courses was established, although most of them were related to millitary demand. In contrast, KangXi was afraid of new technologies that may undermine his rule. Therefore, he blocked all commercial and scientific communication with foreign countries. Besides, Peter the Great was enthusiastic at expanding the so-called Great Russia Empire,whereas KangXi just wanted to solidify his rule of China. Because of Peter the Great, Russia was implicited in the confliction with Poland ,Sweden and Turkey. As a result, Russia grabbed the hegemony of northern and middle europe tightly and becomed much larger. By contrast, KangXi tried to soften the rebellion in China with political methods. Only when it was the very time would he depended on millitary power. From above-mentioned points, we can conclude that these two famous emperrors are different, although they are both wise emperrors.
