school community.

Most definitions of empathy include the idea of "tuning in' to the feelings of another creature.
You watch someone else. You observe his situation. You recognize what he must be feeling and
experience similar feelings yourself.
Empathy is, at its simplest, awareness of the feelings and emotions of other people. It is a key
element of Emotional Intelligence, the link between self and others, because it is how we as
individuals understand what others are experiencing as if we were feeling it ourselves.

Another way to understand empathy is to distinguish it from other related constructs. For
example, empathy involves self-awareness, as well as distinction between the self and the other.
Empathy is also different from sympathy, which involves feeling concern for the suffering of
another person and a desire to help.

Why do we need it?

 it helps us understand how others are feeling so we can respond appropriately to the
situation.
 It creates connections between people, bringing them together and helping to forge
friendships and love.
 Allows us to create bonds of trust, it gives us insights into what others may be feeling or
thinking.
 Empathy means that we create a better world.
 Empathy also means that we care about each other.
