Practicing Compassion

Compassion impels us to work to alleviate the suffering of our fellow man, to remove ourselves from the center of our world and put another there, and to honor the sanctity of every single person treating everybody, without exception, with justice, equity and respect.

Compassion has little to no boundries. In almost every great story there is a specific character or a group of characters that help the protagonist because they feel bad for them. Compassion is the most important aspect of a functioning society; therefore, Elie Wiesel’s Night, 12 Angry Men by Reginald Rose, and the generosity of spirit shown by the average citizen after the recent shooting in Las Vegas are all perfect examples.

Dalai Lama once said “Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive.” But how does one learn how to love or feel compassion for others? People all around the world wonder why the feel compassion for others. Most people feel compassion because it helps them understand how others are feeling so they can respond appropriately to a certain situation. Barbara Lazear Ascher, a former attorney and a current author, focused on compassion and how it is developed by people. Ascher’s purpose is to show that compassion is not something that you are born with, it is something that you have to learn and practice throughout your lifetime. A way to practice compassion is when you see homeless. Ascher’s reaches her

The definition of compassion is sympathetic pity and concern for the sufferings or misfortunes of others. Another definition of compassion is from To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view […] until you climb into his skin and walk around in it” (Lee 33). This quote is from Atticus Finch, who is a moral character in the novel. Source A describes two people with lots of compassion. One of the people was very generous and had the opportunity to steal a man’s wallet, yet he chose to help the man by replacing the ruined bills and cleaning up his cards.

Is compassion still present in the world, or has it disappeared completely? The DBQ shows that compassion can be found in everyday life. Compassion is not only found in the real world, it can be found in fiction too, like in To Kill a Mockingbird. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee shows that there is still compassion, even in a prejudiced world. Even though prejudices are used today to justify a lack of compassion, history demonstrates that compassion is alive and well with examples like after the Boston Marathon bombings, in some literature, and how America has a strong history of accepting refugees from around the world.

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.

My dad left for work like any other morning, but he never came back that night. I don’t remember my birthday that year. I spent a lot of time in various hospitals, thinking my situation couldn’t get any worse and that no one could possible understand what I was going through. That is, until I finally looked around and saw people in positions exactly like mine or even worse. I let myself get so intertwined with my own problems, I didn’t take notice to my surroundings. It was during these times spent at the hospital that I really developed a compassion for others. Up until that point I was considerably self-absorbed, but during this period I was enlightened and was compelled with the need to care for others. This trying time for my family sparked a fire in me to not only notice the needs of others but fulfill

Compassion is learned through experience and seeing those less fortunate; it brings out sympathy because one cannot ignore it when unfortunate people are everywhere.

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.”

Often when using the words of empathy and compassion, many people envision them as having similar meaning. While they may share similar circumstances, they are actually quite different. Empathy is more of an emotional response with an understanding of a person’s particular situation; whereas compassion is an emotion that arouses an active response to alleviate a distressful situation. Nevertheless, these dissimilar expressions are paramount in the way people respond to the individual needs of others and how they reach out to others in their local communities. Barbara Lazear Ascher’s essay “On Compassion” not only creatively offers a very detailed description of the day in the life in New York City, but effectively draws a picture of

Raising money and donating to good causes are just some of the many things that I like to do to serve my community, However showing empathy , tutoring, and volunteering are my favorite ways to serve others. Even in the smallest form possible, showing compassion with a servile attitude can positively affect not only the person you’re helping but also

Once the Cas enzyme is selected (in this case Cas9), the gRNA and healing fragment built, these elements will be cloned into the basal viral vector to produce the HPV CRISPR-CAS9 mediated repair plasmid (HCCMRP). It is the hope that this vector once introduced into the epithelial cells with the aforementioned mutation will revert the Stk11 mutation as seen in the (figures 3-4 in appendix). The HCCMRP will be multiplied by PCR and sequenced to confirm the presence of all required components.
