Multiple Intelligences

Human beings all have a list of skills and devices that are used in our everyday lives so we can solve different kinds of problems that we deal with. People use multiple intelligences since the day they were born into this world. We have never thought about how we use them in our daily lives because they are used naturally. Gardner defines intelligence as "the capacity to solve problems or to fashion products that are valued in one or more cultural setting". Using biological as well as cultural research, he formulated a list of seven intelligences. The seven intelligences include interpersonal intelligence, intrapersonal intelligence, musical intelligence, linguistic intelligence, spatial intelligence, logical intelligence, and mathematical intelligence.

When I talk to my significant other I use Interpersonal Intelligence daily without even realizing it. Interpersonal intelligence is the ability to understand and distinguish the feelings and intentions of others. I live with my significant other so we have to get along with each other in order for our relationship to survive the hardships of being together. There are times when I am seeing the shadows casted upon our relationship so I never see the light, "The Form of Good", as Plato stated in The Allegory of the Cave, paragraph 45. I let hurtful actions and words that my significant other uses to make myself not see the light and stay in the darkness so I will not get hurt from the truth of how the relationship really is.

Intrapersonal Intelligence is in our mind and in our souls from the day we are born. Intrapersonal intelligence is the ability to understand one's own feelings and motivations. Sometimes we have a hard time recognizing our self knowledge of our strengths and weaknesses. President Bush is someone who preys on our weaknesses by altering the light and wanting us to believe in him even if it is a lie

Spatial Intelligence is the way we perceive and imagine. Spatial Intelligence gives one the ability to manipulate and create mental images in order to solve problems. This intelligence is not limited to visual domains. I have seen how President Bush has ruined our country by his greed using spatial intelligence. We went to war with Iraq to kill the evil Saddam Hussein. President Bush has destroyed the entire county and Saddam is still alive, and none of his weapons have been found.

. Logical-Mathematical Intelligence consists of the ability to detect patterns, reason deductively and think logically. This intelligence is most often associated with scientific and mathematical thinking. I have used my Logical Intelligence figuring out Bush's greed has cost Americans $314,822,561,134 just for the war in Iraq. Thirty million dollars was paid to Saddam's sons for turning him in. This war is costing us a ridiculous price of three point nine billion every month. Meanwhile, back at home the federal state and city budget deficits are souring Americans. Americans are suffering so President Bush can impress his daddy and other republicans.

Linguistic intelligence is how language is used and perceived by conformity to standard of rights and mortality as Plato stated in his essay. Linguistic Intelligence involves having a mastery of language. This intelligence includes the ability to effectively manipulate language to express oneself rhetorically or poetically. It also allows one to use language as a means to remember information. An example of this intelligence is how President Bush continued onward with the war in Afghanistan costing Americans almost a billion a month to blow up the entire country to kill terrorist Bin Laden. Bush was not successful and Bin Laden was never found. Listening to the news on television they are assuming he is dead, which no one really knows for sure. It is another way how Bush try's to cover up for his political mistakes and his dumbfound ways of screwing up.

Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence is the ability to use one's mental abilities to coordinate one's own bodily movements. This intelligence challenges the popular belief that mental and physical activities are unrelated. Bush is using Bodily- Kinesthetic Intelligence by using our American troops. Our American troops are trained for these wars with special weapons and skills to fight for what Bush wants us to believe in. Plenty of Americans are still being casted by the shadows that Bush has casted, for he wants everyone to believe in him. They have not seen the light as Plato states. It is going to take the world to knowledge how the idea of good
