Why am I interested in civic intelligence?
The term "civic intelligence" is one that I have not encountered prior to this class. Since this was the first time I had seen or heard of it, I was not sure what to think so I researched the term.
- civic
- (adverb) of, or relating to a citizen, a citizenship or community affairs
- intelligence
- (noun) meaning the ability to learn, understand or to deal with new or trying situations. It also could mean the ability to apply knowledge to manipulate one's environment or to think abstractly as measured by objective criteria[1]
So combining the two terms into one, "civic intelligence" means a citizen, citizenship or city's collective ability to learn, understand or deal with new or trying situations. This is a broad term that encompasses nearly every spectrum of human life. Therefore, civic intelligence is an ongoing process that effects every job or duty, effecting every person.
