It is easy to confuse empathy with sympathy, but the concepts are different in two important ways. First, sympathy means you feel compassion for another person's predicament, whereas empathy means you have a personal sense of what that predicament is like. Consider the difference between sympathizing with an unwed mother or a homeless person and empathizing with them—imagining what it would be
like to be in their position. When you sympathize, it is the other's confusion, joy, or pain. When you empathize, the experience becomes your own, at least for the moment. Empathy is different from sympathy in a second way. We sympathize only when we accept the reasons for another's pain as valid, whereas it's possible to empathize without feeling sympathy. You can empathize with a difficult relative, a rude stranger, and even a criminal without feeling much sympathy for them. Empathizing allows you to understand another person's motives without requiring you to agree with them. After empathizing you will almost certainly understand them better, but sympathy won't always follow. Neither sympathy nor empathy is identical to the "I know how you feel" type of response that some people offer when faced with another's expression of emotion. Hearing someone else's account—of falling in love or losing a job, for example—might remind you of a similar experience, but it is highly unlikely that your experience matched his or hers. Furthermore, an "I know how you feel" response can be interpreted as a conversational "take-away" in which you disregard the other person's story and begin telling yours. There is no consistent evidence that suggests that the ability to empathize is better for one sex or the other. Some people, however, seem to have a hereditary capacity for greater empathizing than do others. Studies of identical and fraternal twins indicate that identical female twins are more similar to one another in their ability to empathize than are fraternal twins. Interestingly, there seems to be no difference between male twins. Although empathy may have a biological basis, the role of environment can still play an important role. For example, parents who are sensitive to their children's feelings tend to have children who also are sensitive to the feelings of others. In the first paragraph, the word predicament means a. the ability to predict. b. lack of concern for others. c. a problem or difficulty. d. a preference.
Probably no event characterizes the educational context as well during this time as the impact of the Russian launch of the satellite Sputnik in 1957. Americans were shaken out of their complacency when their arch competitors, the Russians, managed to blast off into space in the first rocket. This event was immediately followed by much fault finding and finger pointing as Americans looked for
someone to take the blame and for ways to explain why our research and development efforts were overtaken by those of a communist country. Eventually the blame centered on schools and their so-called failure to educate children and youth to be thinkers needed for the modern competitive world. Immediately after Sputnik, amid calls for education to be restructured to make our students more competitive, the space race began to gain momentum. The federal government provided large grants to schools and universities to develop curriculum that focused on math, science, and technology. New ways of teaching subjects and innovative practices in education were implemented. The entire nation felt a sense of urgency to prepare the nation's children for international competition. One of the results of Sputnik was an educational focus on technology development. During the 1950s, televisions were just beginning to become fixtures in living rooms. But the advancements that came about as a result of renewed efforts and resources directed toward space research, a new innovation known as computers soon followed. It wasn't long before computers were used in research endeavors by universities and businesses. The computers of the 1960s and 1970s, although not as impressive as the ones that sit on our desks in the 2000s, began to make a difference in the way we lived and educated our children. Technology revolutionized communication, changed jobs, provided new ways to spend leisure time, and affected transportation and manufacturing. The organizational pattern of the first paragraph is a. generalization and example. b. time order. c. spatial order. d. comparison
