Isn’t
it funny when a group of people sees intelligence as some sort of a malfunction?
Are they trying to point out that stupidity is better?
Intellectual
functioning is determined by many factors. However, a primary source of this
capacity is mental ability or "intelligence”. Intelligence refers to the
ability to reason, plan, think, and communicate. These abilities allow us to
solve problems, to learn, and to use good judgment.
When
the ability to reason, arrive to a wise decision and think become difficult, it
is understood that the person is having significant limitations in intellectual
functioning. But with the aid of an adult or a professional, the limitations
can then discarded to wider possibilities. Thus, the importance of education
where holistic competencies are developed.
There
is a long-held belief that average people are happier than smart people.
Society, by statistical necessity, needs to focus on the majority and is
therefore built and designed for "the average" (Jabeen, 2020). With
this concept, there are those who grimace on intellectuals and accuse them of
persecuting the average people by pushing them to their limits.
Harvard
researchers emphasize the importance of cultivating intelligence, as they
reinforce each other and lead to optimal brain and cognitive health. Because cognitive
health is increasingly recognized as a key component of overall health and
wellness (Bart et al., 2018).
A
brain training activity doesn't always have to tedious and stressful. Much
research has found that creative outlets like painting and other art forms,
learning an instrument, doing expressive or autobiographical writing, and
learning a language also can improve cognitive function based on a Harvard
Health Publishing article.
It
has been proven that learning poverty is happening at present especially in the
local scene where result of large-scale assessments glaringly place us among
the least learners.
This
learning poverty will increase when people are not encouraged to think and
learn. This will erode economy and values in the future.
It
is NEVER a mistake to aim for intellectual development. Mediocrity which leads
to stupidity is.
