I need assistance with answering my discussion

I need assistance with answering my discussion question: In your opinion– and in your own words– what is empathy? (Another way to think of this is– What are we doing when we are empathizing with someone OR What are the components of empathy OR What is the process?) Explore what needs to be taking place when we attempt to empathize with someone. Why is it difficult for so many of us to empathize? If you were to teach empathy to a group of college students, what would you do and what would you say? You may use materials in this unit to help build your “lesson plan,” but feel free to look further into quality online resources. Remember, though, your audience is college students and you want your work to be original with only minor support from online materials. Be creative! Gather your thoughts and ideas and upload them here in no fewer than 15 sentences per prompt. Then review what your classmates are sharing. What are some of their thoughts and ideas? How successful do you think they might be with their “lesson plan?” Finally, respond to at least 3 of them by giving quality insight and perspective. Take your time. Remember, this is the heart of this class… your communication with others.
