Conscience is an\u00a0<\/span>inner voice<\/span><\/b>\u00a0that helps in<\/span>\u00a0deciding what is ethical or moral<\/span><\/b>. Crisis of conscience (CoC) is a situation of confusion where either a person is\u00a0<\/span>doing something that goes against his\/her conscience<\/span><\/b>\u00a0or voice of\u00a0<\/span>conscience is not able to decide\u00a0<\/span><\/b>what is ethically or morally correct (value conflict).\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For example:<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>Arjun<\/span><\/b>\u00a0faced crisis of conscience in the beginning of Mahabharat. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Emotional intelligence\u00a0<\/span><\/b>is the ability to regulate emotions of oneself and others while also\u00a0<\/span>using emotions to make better decisions<\/span><\/b>.\u00a0<\/span>Crisis of conscience is an undesirable psychological state\u00a0<\/span>and\u00a0<\/span>emotional intelligence can help\u00a0<\/span><\/b>in overcoming it without compromising ethical\/ moral standards as:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Emotional intelligence helps in<\/span>\u00a0better understanding<\/span><\/b>\u00a0of the\u00a0<\/span>situation<\/span><\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>long-term consequences\u00a0<\/span><\/b>of one\u2019s action\u00a0(<\/span>dispel ethical myopia<\/span><\/b>)\u00a0making\u00a0\u00a0it\u00a0easier to explore desirability and ethicality of any action.\u00a0<\/span>For example<\/span><\/b>: whistle blowing.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. It can help in\u00a0<\/span>reconciling apparently divergent values<\/span><\/b>\u00a0which may be causing the crisis of conscience.\u00a0<\/span>For example:<\/span><\/b>\u00a0EI can blend objectivity of law with subjectivity of emotions leading to\u00a0<\/span>compassionate justice<\/span><\/b>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Emotional intelligence gives\u00a0<\/span>internal strength to individuals<\/span><\/b>\u00a0that can enable them to act with integrity and withstand adverse situations.\u00a0<\/span>For example:<\/span><\/b>\u00a0Crisis of conscience is case of\u00a0<\/span>coerced corruption<\/span><\/b>\u00a0or an\u00a0<\/span>order from senior<\/span><\/b>\u00a0which goes against established ethical standards.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Emotionally intelligent persons are able to\u00a0<\/span>persuade others and resolve conflicts<\/span><\/b>.\u00a0<\/span>For example:<\/span><\/b>\u00a0crisis of conflict for a DM arising due to diverging demands by different communities.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. EI helps in\u00a0<\/span>controlling selfish desires<\/span><\/b>\u00a0resolving crisis of conscience arising in cases like\u00a0<\/span>public vs. personal interest<\/span><\/b>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Despite being important, sometimes,\u00a0<\/span>EI may not be sufficient<\/span><\/b>\u00a0in resolving crisis of conscience. In such cases\u00a0<\/span>laws, rules, regulations and social values<\/span><\/b>\u00a0can act as guides to ethical conduct and help resolve CoC.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
