Empathy
The act of awareness and sensitivity to another person’s feelings and perspective
- Strong empathy skills give an individual the necessary tools to understand the perspective of the person being bullied, the person who is doing the bullying, and the bystander who witnesses acts of bullying.
- Strong empathy skills give an individual the necessary skills to make decisions based off of their perspective while including the perspective of their fellow community members.
- A community of empathetic individuals can better respect a diversity of perspectives and backgrounds and create a community of inclusion despite the diversity.
