Cause Effect

Lack of emotional intelligence might bring subsequent effects within a community. The very first symptom of this phenomenon is the widely-spread prejudice between groups of different races, ideologies and beliefs. Consequently, intolerance is slowly built up within the community. The last stage of the chain reaction is embodied in a visible action: the act of discrimination, which in extreme cases can take many forms, such as sweeping, terrorism, genocide and civil war. For example, after the 9/11 attack, people throughout the world, including Australia, have become highly prejudiced towards the Muslims. Starting with undesirable gestures, such as exchanging glares between the Westerners and the Middle-Eastern-look, the clash peaked in the racist riot in Sydney in 2005 which was as well triggered by media provocation. With this example, it may be possible to draw a conclusion that vulnerability to external provocation, a form of lack of emotional intelligence, may cause harmony disruption in the community.

This is a very mature analysis within a well-organized paragraph.
The progression of your ideas is clear, concise and logical. Only a few problems in language use detract from the excellence of ideas here. For example, look at this phrase: "...such as exchanging glares between the Westerners and the Middle-Eastern-look,..." Do you see the problem?

In any case, thanks for your effort!
