Empathy at home and at work
Synopsis
Have you ever heard the saying 'No man is an island'? What do you think this means? This means that no one lives in isolation. Everyone of us needs others to care for and interact with us. We need to belong to a group. We need to be in touch with other people. This interaction is a give-and-take relationship. It is a two-way process. Everything we do affects them and everything they do affects us. This is the reason why empathy is important.
Empathy is the ability to share, understand and feel another person's feelings. You will learn more about this in this module.
This module is divided into three lessons:
Lesson 1 - “ What Is Empathy?
Lesson 2 - “ Showing Empathy at Home
