    DB 1 “Innocent Amusements” Hartman’s analysis of the “precariousness of empathy” performs as preparation for her examination of how whites have often hijacked the black experience for pleasure, both as an instrument of empathy and with nefarious intentions. This subjection of the black experience for white pleasure is evidenced by minstrel shows that reinforce black subjugation (29), observations made by whites of black “merriment” as somehow describing the slave perspective (34), and the characterizations of the slave as a commodity that wants to be bought (38). After reading this, I began to think about parallels to today. Is the black experience still only legitimized and occupied when recognized by the white dominion? If so, this historical…

    Hartman’s utilization of the white abolitionist John Rankin’s admonishment of slavery through imagining himself and his family as enslaved demonstrates how it actually “inadvertently confirms the expectations and desires definitive of the relations of chattel slavery” (Hartman 19). Hartman recognizes Rankin’s intentions as well-meaning, but argues, “the effort the counteract the commonplace callousness to black suffering requires that the white body be positioned in the place of the black body…” (Hartman 19). This analysis of the “precariousness of empathy” acts as preparation for Hartman’s examination of how whites have often hijacked the black experience for pleasure, both as an instrument of empathy and with nefarious intentions. This…

    The first example of empathy I mentioned was the charitable act of a Mandeville priest. Rev. Tran saw that his friend was in pain and needed something that is very precious to a human being, a left kidney. His fellow priest would never ask him for a favor that great, but Rev. Tran was happy to do it. Through the entire process of tests and even the surgery, he was always very chipper and excited to help his friend. After the surgery, he felt so weak and he could barely get out of bed for three weeks.…

    Imagine giving someone a coat, seeing a lonely stranger at the cafeteria, watching a loved one get emotional in the presence of death, and observing friends cry from laughter at Thanksgiving dinner. Each feeling that accompanies each situation is the result of the direct relationship between individuals—empathy. Whether empathy is used to cognitively breakdown a problem or share emotions with others, the importance of empathy is that it is prevalent in nearly all human interaction. Without it, effective communities, relationships, and even society itself could never form. Now, a recent study by Sarah H. Konrath has suggested a sharp decline in empathy levels within the past three decades.…

    I have been in the dental field for over 20 years and repeatedly I have seen the same challenges transpire, patients not coming back in for treatment and getting lost in the system. This usually happens when the patient becomes overwhelmed by the treatment plan and do not understand where they need to start. These patients then become the ones that only come in for emergency treatments to get out of pain. In the video, Empathy: The Human Connection to Patient Care, it pointed out that as medical providers, we become desensitized to the people we are treating (Cleveland Clinic, 2013). This usually happened when the office is busier than usual, the schedule is over booked, or the office is running short on staff, causing patient to slip through…

This attitude helps to be comprehensive about others' situations and attitudes. “Working with people from other cultures demands a great deal of flexibility, an ability to change our behavior and courses of action according to the situation” (Kabagarama 48). In the building of healthy relationships, flexibility is crucial since it helps to first put into consideration the feelings of the other person in order to make him or her happy.
