Empathy is the basis of all morality and social life. The best and most appropriate time to learn empathy is childhood. Parents are the main ‘teachers’ in this case. The lack of empathy makes a person selfish, cold, inhumane and as a result they often don’t experience guilt, identification and…

Contrary to Euripides and Morrison, I personally believe that empathy causes partial judgement and should not influence the process of reaching adjudication. Both playwright and author intend for their audience to feel sympathy for each filicidal mother by portraying them as forlorn because of the stress misfortune has inflicted. Through doing so, they seek to build a convincing case that each woman was justified in murdering her children by living within oppressive time periods that disregarded her personhood; Medea was ostracized for actively seeking vengeance upon her husband who hastily replaced her with another in bed and Sethe was denied connate autocratic parenting and was subjected to abuse and rape under the constraints of slavery.…

According to the article it states that, “Sharing emotions and empathy", "Motivation to overcome difficulties and optimisms" and extroversion correlated proportionally with them. The function feeling correlated proportionally with the factor "Sharing emotions and empathy" and it correlated inversely with the factor "Recognition of nonverbal expression of emotion of the other people”. The article simply explains how one can use his or her emotions to complete task in many different forms. For me this article in this paragraph applies to me. I tend to use my emotions for decisions at times, and I definitely motivate myself with my emotions in order to motivate others to feel the importance of what he or she is…

When it comes to human suffering, shared outrage is not the only emotions that we experience, another reaction is compassion. Psychologists Paul Slovic, Ilana Ritov and Tehila Kogut suggest that part of the problem is that people tendency to experience compassion is quite limited in breadth. Psychological research from Adam Galinsky and Gerben van Kleef found that even…

Thus, every intense emotion has a physiological counterpart in the body -- a "body felt sensation" that corresponds to an emotional feeling -- giving rise to the so-called "mind/body" paradigm. When you are happy, sad, or calm, you are physiologically very different, and the related body felt sensation varies accordingly. For our purposes, we shall consider that an "emotion" has two parts: 1) vivid imagery that is processed by the limbic system, and 2) an accompanying "body felt sensation" that is engendered by the reptilian brain. Perhaps the simplest example of how this works is to consider a romantic emotion, which conjures up vivid imagery supplied by the limbic system, which is accompanied by unique body felt sensations, courtesy of the reptilian brain. Among other things, numerous biofeedback studies have poignantly demonstrated this connection between the mind and the…

Empathy is a significant and influential part of the healthcare system. It is important for health professionals to include a true understanding and compassion to their patients; moreover, psychologically a person is more capable of getting through a health problem when they are approaching their issue in a more assured approach.

According to Kasley Killam, effective communication is associated with higher patient satisfaction, better adherence to medications, lower likelihood of mistakes, and fewer malpractices. Based on research, effective physician-patient communication results in more positive health outcomes for the patient (Killam, 2014). The…
