WHY LACK OF EMPATHY IS ROOT CAUSE OF ALL EVILS?
A 23-year-old lady and two girls were taken from Nigeria to serve as slaves in the home of an evangelical Christian who wrote two books on child care. She tortured them if they didn't like her and had them work twenty-one hours a day. Eleven was the youngest girl's age..

She was given an 10-and-a-half-year prison sentence last month by the Judge, who declared, "You are a wicked lady." Without a doubt, you have ruined these two girls' life. They will live the rest of their life bearing the consequences of what you did to them.

First, while empathy is, in my opinion, unavoidable, it should be initiated.
With a very broad scope, science is starting its quest to determine why some people are less empathetic than others. The hallmark of a civilized society is our attempt to comprehend the behavior of others, which leads to the dilemma of whether someone who commits a horrible crime ought to be imprisoned rather than sent to the hospital.

DEVELOPING EMPATHY IN CHILDREN
Empathy is the ability to imagine how someone else is feeling in a particular situation and respond with care. This is a very complex skill to develop. Being able to empathize with another person means that a child:
Understands that he is a distinct individual, his own person;
Understands that others can have different thoughts and feelings than he has;
Recognizes and feels the common feelings that most people experience—sadness, happiness, sorrow, joy, and sympathy.
Is able to view a particular situation (such as watching a peer say goodbye to a parent at child care) and imagine how he—and therefore his friend—might feel in this moment; and
Can you imagine the response that might be appropriate or comforting in that particular situation—such as offering his friend a favorite toy, storybook, or teddy bear to comfort her?
