I was updating my Agile Certified Practitioner (ACP) Training slide on Emotional Intelligence and thought of the relationship it has with our humanity. A few clicks later, I found myself reading a passage on Wikipedia on "the virtue of humanity"
The three strengths associated with humanity are love, kindness, and social intelligence. Humanity differs from justice in that there is a level of altruism towards individuals included in humanity more so than the fairness found in justice. That is, humanity, and the acts of love, altruism, and social intelligence are typically person to person strengths while fairness is generally expanded to all.
Emotional Intelligence from ACP
To me, social intelligence is nothing more than social competencies of emotional intelligence. We need empathy and we need social skills. I'm left conflicted from the Wikipedia passage where it says humanity and justice differ. Fairness should be found in both social and individual competencies. It just doesn't have to be explicitly stated.
