FYI

When others experience failure, empathize. You should use this tip to help those who are down or hurt. When you tune into someone, you feel them. With an empathetic manner, you can relate or understand someone's particular situation, attitude, or emotion. It is natural to respond to other's emotions. In what way will you respond?

Motion Emotion

Today we continued to work on our powerpoint presentation showing animal cruelty to invoke empathy. Emotion plays an important role within our lives. We communicate on a daily basis and through this emotion, we can understand a person's demeanor or attitude. We are able to to help others by recognizing and sharing this emotion. It is important to be empathetic and to share those observed feelings that may be present within another.

"Literacy"

Empathy, the ability to recognize and share feelings (such as sadness or happiness) that are being experienced by another; to emotionally put yourself in another person's place. How well can you read people?

Connect

Organizations such as ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention Cruelty to Animals) provide services and connect abused animals to appropriate families. They investigate and can make arrests for crimes against animals from anywhere within the western hemisphere. Such organizations display pictures of sad and abused animals in order to win over the hearts of future adopters. Websites use quotes such as, "Abandoned and neglected pets need your help today" to entice families to adopt these abused animals.

Red Cross

We started researching groups such as the American Red Cross. This volunteer led humanitarian organization provides emergency assistance, disaster relief and education.
