Dr. Evangelos Katsioulis, M.D., M.Sc., M.A., Ph.D. is a consultant psychiatrist and psychotherapist running his private practice in Thessaloniki, Greece. Having perceived the importance and impact of internet in our lives, he is also professionally active offering online psychotherapy and counseling for Psycall.com and Shezlong.com. He earned an M.D., Medical Doctor Diploma (2000), M.Sc., Medical Research Technology (2003), M.A., Philosophy (2012), and Ph.D., Psychopharmacology (2015), awarded by the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.
Dr. Katsioulis is mostly challenged by expression, thinking and communication. Therefore, he is involved in writing articles, novels, quotes and screenplays. Since 2001, he is the Founder of the World Intelligence Network (WIN), an international organization targeting the detection, development and appreciation of abilities. Feeling a citizen of the world, he currently lives in Thessaloniki, Macedonia, Greece.
On January 1, 2015, we published an interview. Here, we talk about the educational systems, the gifted, and the main global problem and its solution.
When I asked Katsioulis about the interactions of the numerous systems within society, those integrated concepts with common markers or widely accepted bases in everyday life. I wanted to target the ways in which the world functions and fails to work too.
The political life in which citizens want to organize the public life of the country. The economic system under which people buy and sell with one another. The religious practices and beliefs to motivate and inspire people’s lives. As per individual motivations, and the UN Charter, everyone reserves the right to freedom of belief and freedom of religion.
The corporate monoliths from which multinational and international trade and commerce take place. The educational systems from which values, knowledge, and skills get inculcated and nurtured in the young. Many more interlocked, interrelated, and interdependent systems function in societies.
All topics of intrigue on a large, societal scale. The question related to the proper development of a society from his perspective. Katsioulis opened the response, “I would say no more than what a great ancestor said 25 centuries ago. Plato suggested an ideal society based on the special abilities of the citizens.”
A society built on the more suited person for a particular position. The ablest for a particular function in a society should run that position in the society. For example, the strongest should help with the physical needs of the society.
“…a meritocracy should be in place. We should all contribute to the society well-functioning, if we intend to live in the society and benefit out of it,” Katsioulis stated, “The definition of one’s prosperity should be defined only in the context of the society prosperity. If we act against our nest, how should this nest be beneficial, protective and supportive for us.”
He laments those who only work with marketing skills and great influence. Those individuals with little to no skill except insofar as they can advertise themselves in a positive light and use power at whim. “We often see people who have no other than marketing skills or powerful backgrounds to guide societies, decide about millions of people, control people’s future, when many capable and talented others live in the shadow,” Katsioulis said.
Katsioulis indicated the importance of the individual in a society. That is, the citizen is the crucial element in any society, who should realize their individual and collective power.
“There is no society without citizens, there are no rules without people to follow them. People can claim their right to live their ideal society,” Katsioulis concluded.
