Developing Empathy For Others

Look How Far You Have Already Come!

We have reached the end of the first section of this course!  You are making awesome progress!  You have already learned about open-mindedness and self-reflectivness.  It is time to record some of your thoughts about these topics.

Why should I?  When will I EVER use this in my actual life?

Well Mr(s). Sassy Pants, we are glad you asked!  Writing things down helps you to remember them.  It also helps you to organize your own thoughts.  This is the part where you take what we have presented to you, and decide what you agree with and what you disagree with.  This is where you start to build your own house!

We highly recommend that you not skip this step!

Constructed Journal Entry

Open a blank document somewhere.  This can be on Google Drive, on your computer, or anywhere else where you save important files.  Construct a private journal entry.  Where you will write down some of your thoughts and save them for later.  So that you can look at these thoughts again when you complete this course.

Your journal entry should include the following components:

• Write about how you feel when it comes to being open-minded and self-reflective.  Be detailed.  Make a strong argument for why your perspective is accurate.
• If you are in favor of being open-minded and self-reflective, give examples of how these attitudes can help you be more successful.  If you are against these traits, explain why.

You will not submit this assignment to us.  This is just for your own personal records.
