I think the most important attributes of social awareness are empathy and service orientation. Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of others. Service orientation is the ability to anticipate, recognize, and meet the needs of others. Empathy is important because it allows us to connect with others on a deeper level. It helps us to understand their perspectives and why they might be feeling the way they are feeling. This can be helpful in resolving conflicts, building relationships, and providing support (CCL, 2023). Service orientation is important because it shows that we notice others’ needs, even if they aren’t outwardly expressed. When cohorts notice this, it makes us more approachable and likable, and it can also lead to increased cooperation. I believe that these two attributes are particularly important in my culture (El Salvador), which is a collectivist culture. In collectivist cultures, people are more interdependent and value cooperation and community. Empathy and service orientation are essential skills for building and maintaining relationships in a collectivist culture. In addition to empathy and service orientation, I believe that Self-regulation, is also important in my culture: Conscientiousness: Taking responsibility for personal performance. Due to the nature of everyday life in El Salvador, we must be able to hold ourselves accountable for the tasks assigned from our family structure. We rely on each other for crop harvesting, animal husbandry and food preparation. All the forementioned activities allow families to produce enough to survive and usually sell their surplus for income.
