(1) Empathy is the ability to understand or identify with another person’s feelings, motives, or situation.

(3) Experts say that empathy is more important than ever because bullying and social tensions are on the rise.

(7) A second example of empathy in action is the preteen who sees an overweight classmate being teased and speaks up in defense of that child. (8) Empathy seems to help overcome fear of the bully and his supporters. (9) Often, just one person speaking up can stop the bully in his tracks. (10) A third instance of empathy in action is the adult who overhears a shop owner or bank customer insult someone of another race. (11) Feeling shock or anger in the bullied person’s behalf, he or she might ask the bully to be respectful or just shut up.
