Compassionion For Others Reflection With Other Human Beings Outside Your Family And Friends

Are people born with a complete quandary when it comes to compassion or is it something that has always been there? Barbara Lazear Ascher, born in 1946, writes, “On Compassion.” Having lived in New York City, Ascher is able to take first hand examples from the city to show the affection people have towards each other. Ascher is able to illustrate that compassion is something that has to be taught because of the adversity at people’s heels by including tone, persuasive appeals, and the mode of comparing and contrast in her essay, “On Compassion.”

The purpose of this essay is to question the readers. Ascher wants the audience to analyze themselves to determine the reason behind why people show kindness, whether it is out of fear, pity, or compassion.

Compassion is very important when working closely with patients in the hospital. Compassion means your attitude represents that you truly care about a person and their situation, you can empathize and try to understand

To me, compassion means to show sympathy for someone that is feeling pain; physically or emotionally. Compassion also means to show kindness to one another when in rough times. When an individual shows compassion to someone else, they comfort them, or make them feel better. It can also mean when someone sees need for one, and helps them. For example, a sign of compassion can be donating to a homeless shelter. Therefore, compassion can be expressed in many ways. Compassion is like a contagious illness. If you get it, you give it and if everyone showed compassion, everyone would receive it. Compassion is very important.

To me compassion means to care and love one another. If you hate or dislike someone, that is not showing compassion. Compassion also means to understand if they are upset, for example if your friend has a breakup. I would want to help them get through the breakup and make them happy again.To love someone is a huge part of compassion. Love can make someone feel super special and have compassion. One other definition of compassion is to forgive someone. if you forgive someone they will be happy with you. Being happy is great and it shows compassion.

To me compassion is helping someone through dark or rough times. Showing that you care and are there for them. My Dad (a retired veteran) works at the Veterans Northeast Outreach Center. Every year they hold Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. These dinners, however, are for homeless and/or disabled veterans. Those who can’t afford it or don’t have a family to have it with. Without the center there would be countless vets who have served our country, out on the streets. These dinners are important to them. Compassion is needed in this ditch we call Earth.

Compassion is another valuable attribute of caring. Compassion is the sense of concern for others and their less than desirable situations. According to Perry (2009), compassion is the attention to minute details, generally exhibited in a face-to-face interaction with a patient/client (p. 18) and should be implemented when providing patient care and interventions. Attentiveness goes a long ways to enhance the well-being and quality of care provided to a patient/client. This in turn, establishes trust amongst a nurse/caregiver and a patient/client.

Compassion can have many different meanings. To me, compassion is showing kindness, being caring, and being willing to help others. It is important to show compassion to all people, regardless of their race, gender, religion, living situation, or mental or physical ability.

Ever since I was a young kid I’ve always had a habit for helping others. From early on was I was that adorable little kid going around trying to make everyone’s day better by giving them a hug or helping them when they fell down. Around the same young age I joined the Cub Scouts that helped to foster simple ideas of community service that would go on to fully develope when I made the transition to the Boy Scouts. For much of my time I’ve always just stayed to small things like helping out with community service though the Boy Scouts and later my own eagle scout project, or simply showing small acts of kindness by holding a door open or helping someone pick up their belongings. It wasn’t until recently when I took my first biology class in highschool

Compassion, or caring can be viewed as “nursing’s most precious asset” (Schantz, 2007), a fundamental element of nursing care (Dietze and Orb, 2000), and as one of the strengths of the profession. According to Torjuul et al (2007), it involves being close to patients and seeing their situation as more than a medical scenario and routine procedures. Compassion is to feel passion with someone, to enter sympathetically into their sorrow, suffering, pain or situation and desire and attempt to alleviate the sorrow, suffering, pain or need. Compassion knows when to be the shoulder to cry on and when to be the motivator for life changing health habits. Compassion is; treating not only the diagnosis but the person, the person with feelings, the person who is going to cry sometimes.

My compassion is not a trait that I keep to myself, I show compassion almost everyday, whether it's to a friend, a kid on the bus, or even to someone in my family. I can’t stand seeing someone hurt, it is something that slowly picks away at my heart. Compassion is defined as sympathetic pity and concern for the sufferings or misfortunes of others, but to me, it’s just making sure everyone has a smile on their face. Last year my heart was absolutely broken everyday at lunch when I saw a new fifth grade student sitting alone at his on table. After a week of just watching and observing his behavior as he sat alone, slowly eating his lunch.

Compassion is not a one sided emotion. One does not simply have compassion on someone else and not feel any compassion personally. Having compassion on yourself can boost your self-esteem as well as your spiritual life. I learned about this first hand while I was on three different mission trips to the City of Children in Baja California, Mexico. My heart ached for the children living there, but in all actuality they were, for the most part, happier to be there than the neglected homes they came from. Through all their struggles, they had

First consider the recent study of the biological basis of compassion. If such a basis exists, we should be wired up, so to speak, to respond to others in need. Recent evidence supports this point convincingly. University of Wisconsin psychologist Jack Nitschke found in an experiment that when mothers looked at pictures of their babies, they not only reported feeling more compassionate love than when they saw other babies; they also demonstrated unique activity in a region of their brains associated with the positive emotions. Nitschke’s finding suggests that this region of the brain is attuned to the first objects of our compassion—our offspring.

Compassion is a strength of mine that will be important when working with clients due to the need to understand what it is like to be in the client's shoes. Caring is a part of the threefold mission in social work, so I believe that compassion and caring are a similar, important attribute to obtain. Caring for the client could result in the client feeling more comfortable, which is vital because that could result in a relationship with the client. The Importance of Human Relationships is the fourth core value found in the Code of Ethics, so developing relationships with the client is rather crucial. Ultimately, displaying compassion for the client could potentially cross the bridge of a social worker and client relationship into a more intimate

The construct we will measure and explore is compassion. The definition of compassion includes the “awareness of the suffering of another coupled with the wish to relieve it” (Radey and Figley, 2007). Compassion is a deep sense associated with altruism and feelings that include condolence, pity, and empathy. We got the idea of compassion when coming up with traits that would be beneficial in a social aspect when dealing with others, especially in difficult moments. The trait compassion was focused on when looking at the traits that we believe are important to have when focusing on the concern of others. It is Compassion is an important trait to have because it is strongly tied to other concern and connect to others. It is important to have
