The concept of social intelligence by Daniel Goleman

The term social intelligence often mean that the extent one can do social relations and transactions with others. Surely this ability has become prevalent that the ability of human life will indeed be difficult if not interacting with others. Then how to describe social intelligence, or social nature which later became the concept as intelligence or value of more than usual?

Then in the brain which part, a social intelligence in value? I'm interested in then quotes from the book of Daniel Goleman's "Social Intelligence". In order to illustrate how social attitudes and in the value of an intelligence. Because in the book also connects with the brain system, which is then described that there are certain parts of the then part is called the social brain.

In Goleman's book has been told that when there is a second attack the United States (U.S.) to the State of Iraq, a group of U.S. troops went to see a figure of Iraq to a mosque, in order to coordinate the technical distribution of food supplies. But locals who happened to be clustered, suddenly frightened by the situation, thinking that these troops will take force leader (figure at the start) and will destroy their mosques. So that the tension (anxiety) occur, because people feel that they are threatening situation. Then rastusan resident waving waving in the air and shouting. The commander lieutenant colonel Christopher Hughes. Thinking fast, and he ordered his soldiers to kneel, and then ordered to direct the gun to be directed to the ground troops. After that proceed to the three orders to the troops to smile.

In this situation, there is a change. The original crowd of people tense, changed and some of them smiling. Some residents patted the soldiers when the colonel ordered the troops to retreat while still smiling.

A quick decision like this, a social calculations performed correctly and within a relatively short time. The colonel found and decide the most appropriate measures and quick to change the tense and dangerous situation, and can make the scenario very quickly that what about people who can calm the crowd. A well-measured firmness.

In a story related to social intelligence that the colonel can take advantage of the neural circuitry of others (humans) also have it. That normally or naturally in neural circuitry, when meeting with a stranger who was friendly (threatened), the neural circuits will lead to fight or flee, but rather examples of the above story and then decided to make smarter decisions, a decision that is not easy to do by the average person. A scenario is very quick with a more intelligent decision. Well, maybe this is a simple description of the concept or meaning from social as intelligence.
