Empathy Flaw Summary

“You never really understand a person until you consider things from their point of view-until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.” (p.30) The novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee includes a plethora of essential themes that make one think deeply. The story takes place in the 1930’s when segregation tensions were high. The narrative is told through the eyes of a young girl, Jean Louise (Scout) Finch. Scout’s father, Atticus is a lawyer fighting a case for an African American man named Tom Robinson. Throughout the novel, both Scout and her older brother Jeremy (Jem) Finch learn many life lessons that are crucial for all children to learn about. One fundamental lesson learned by the children, is the lesson of having empathy.

Human interaction is important in today's society. It allows each of the species to communicate and share what they feel. But, wny for people struggle with the concept of empathy? To Kill A Mockingbird is a great example of the struggles of empathy. People struggle with empathy because they have different experiences.

Trying to put myself into this scenario, makes me happy that I have chosen corretions. Because having to hear this, without being about to help would be very hard for me to do. However people in this feild should know, not everyone can be helped. But you just have to try your best to, help those people you

One of the most important themes in this powerful text is that of empathy and understanding. Maycomb, as is shown in the text, is a society that is clearly split through class, race and numerous other distinctions. In such an environment of inequality, Atticus teaches his children the importance and value of empathy, and of trying to see the world through the eyes of other people.

Discrediting empathy as a valid response to disaster, or creating legal-based norms that encourage citizens to treat disaster relief as a government, not personal, task may also diminish vital informal disaster efforts. Indeed, informal social capital and interpersonal empathy can save lives. For instance, in one famous week-long heat wave in 1995, over 700 Chicago residents died. African Americans were the group most at risk, being 1.5 times more likely to die than whites. But Latinos were the least likely of any group to be victims. Although their “overall level of poverty placed them at a heightened risk of mortality,” they “experienced a surprisingly low death rate.” The discrepancy has subsequently been explained as the result of strong

Everyday we have plenty opportunities to get angry, but what we do with those negative emotions is up to us. In “Things Fall Apart” Okonkwo is perceived as a self-made, well-respected man who much of his life is dictated by internal fear by becoming his father. Often the author focuses on Okonkwo’s image by making him seem like a normal village man who’s purpose in life is to become a superior man who many can idolize and respect making the reader understand the value of men in the village. As the story goes on you see a side of Okonkwo that many see which is what makes Okonkwo an unsympathetic character in the story especially how he treats Ekwefi and Ojiugo. First off, Okonkwo treats women as objects not as human beings.

Entry 1 Question 2: I watched all the videos and read all the articles and they were very interesting and insightful. The video on Brene Brown on empathy brought up some good points about empathy vs. sympathy. That there are four qualities to empathy which are perspective taking the ability to take the perspective of another person, staying out of judgment, recognizing emotion in other people than communicating it, and empathy is feeling with people. How sympathy can be disconnection and people hear you but try to put a silvering lining on the situation. Which empathy is understanding the situation and saying I’ve been there and making a connection with that person. In the Ted Talk video color blind or color brave she was talking about her

As always, it was an honor to represent Pakistan at today's lunch with Dr. Michael Spezio.

individual person displays certain character traits. Some character traits that I feel set me apart from others and that I demonstrate on a regular basis are being sympathetic and considerate. Being considerate means to be thoughtful and careful to how others feel. Being sympathetic means to have an understanding with someone of a common feeling you both have felt. I feel that I demonstrate these traits everyday. For one instance is when I helped out to mentor some of the younger kids on my baseball team.

Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird contains a trend of empathy and compassion. Empathy and compassion allows the reader to connect with the novel. The character who has displayed a sense of empathy and compassion is Atticus Finch. Atticus Finch makes it his goal to instill the feeling of empathy and compassion in his children and his town. During the novel, Scout and Jem develop an emotional intelligence that allows them to realize the situation of others, things such as what other people may be thinking or the way they act. She writes about the involvements which Scout and Jem undertake in learning how to be empathetic and compassionate towards each other and other people. The characters Scout, Jem, and Attics in this novel show the implication of empathy and compassion which suggests how Lee is trying to show race relations in the 1930s. Harper Lee’s novel depicts real life situations. These examples show how this novel decisively grasps the feeling of empathy in addition to compassion in its readers. This novel aids its readers in comparing race relations in the 1930s to present day race relations.

The three fears that I will address are competency, making the client worse, and fear of clients getting too close. The fear of competency seems to be, in my opinion, more an awareness of personal professional limitations. On one hand, until a therapist tries something, they are not experienced in it, on the other, some things should not be attempted by a novice. The therapist needs to understand the limits of his or her own training, and seek to become “competent” (that is, trained and or comfortable) with the things they know they need in their toolkit. The text tells us that no therapist is completely able to get it right, all of the time. This should be a comfort to those who are concerned about this. It also states that new therapists

By using the process of elimination, I determined which empathy training option I would choose to experience. Even in making the choice, there were practical considerations to make that those with the specific circumstances in their lives did not get to make a choice. For them, it was probably something that happened, or maybe that is how they were born. What they do get to choose is how they deal with or make adjustments for their situation. Dictionary.com defines empathy as the psychological identification with or vicarious experiencing of the feelings, thoughts, or attitudes of another.

Last week we had first time contact with client of AHRC people with disability. Computer room was too small to hold 10 participants, 4 educator and us - six students and our instructor. Lecture started late because we were waiting for second group from different rehabilitation program. This is not easy to schedule and be on time for people with different disability, included person with Down syndrome, cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy. Educators from AHRC offer to us to take a sit next to the wall so we can observe teaching lecture “Healthy living, healthy learning”. The room was too small and was no room for my chair on the side, so I decided to take my chair and sit next to one of the participant. That was young boy with

- Empathy: (00:26) When the client stated that he thought he was receiving his money today Katie could have said "I'm sorry, lets take a look at your account and check on that for you. Can you provide me with your loan/phone number?"

The Puritans, who settled in America, believed that every human is inherently sinful unless saved by God, which is a similar belief of today's religions. Most religions believe that God or a prophet of God, will be the savior of the human race from, in terms of Christianity, original sin. This sin makes all humans, by default, sinful beings, this belief varies depending on the "faction of Christianity. This belief, however, conflicts with scientific discoveries in neuroscience and psychology. In both fields it has been found that humans have a natural empathy, or the ability to understand and share the feelings of another.
