Dr. Scott Glenn:  The Act of “Bullying” and the Importance of Emotional Intelligence in the American Society
 
Negative antagonistic behavior such as the acts of passive aggressiveness, sarcasm, ghosting, and being given the silent treatment all can be connected to the term “bullying” and has a profound impact on the United States contemporary society including business, academia, the military, entertainment world and other organizations abroad. What does this behavior involve? Is it physical? Psychological and mental? Why and where does it occur? Who is affected and what is being done? In addition, how can all stakeholders within these arenas prevent this negative action from occurring and who is accountable? 

These questions along with the explanation of the imperativeness of Emotional Intelligence within these environments will be discussed.
