Compassion

My core values include honesty, fairness, respect, compassion, and happiness. My core values are strongly consistent with my behavior and work ethics. When I work with students, from my Resident Assistants (RAs) to my hall residents, I believe I am engaged in a leadership process whether as a direct or indirect…

A major way the text illustrates the importance of remaining connected to one’s humanity is through the contrast of Reinhard and the other combatants in the war. Those deeply entrenched in the war exhibit a lack of feeling and compassion and seem to be wholly consumed by the war. Paul Neumarkt, author of the text “The Orgy of Self-Renunciation an Analysis of the Motif of War in Modern Literature,” writes in depth about self-renunciation in war time settings. Neumarkt analyzes three different…

“Woman, You are freed from your sins” Come and sit! She praised God! In the reading, we see an example of Luke’s emphasis on the compassion of Jesus toward sinners and to those who suffer, we see his patience, his friendliness, and his strong desire to seek out the lost. The gospel tells us that the woman’s first reaction is to praise God! Her praising of God is the recognition of the work of God, the mercy which God has shown to her. She knows what it is to feel forgotten, abandoned, mistreated…

lead through peaceful means while staying effective. Raw effective leadership is simple, given that the only real requirement is that you lead, but to lead morally, you must not only be effective, but you must also lead by example with patience, compassion, and strength. Where an effective leader is simply someone who leads others adequately, a moral leader is someone who leads people successfully by focusing on leading their people by example and never wavering in the peaceful…

don’t give at some point and have compassion on those in need, then we are left with a selfish and cheap society. If we all work together as one, wealthy and impoverished, then this guarantees our survival as a human race and ultimately guarantees the formation of a united society. Often times we are too selfish to realize that we all got to where we are by way of assistance. This is clearly evident in Jonathan Swift’s “A Modest Proposal,” in which he shows compassion and care for those in need.…

Stern encounters some fundamental truths about her own mind: she likely has post-traumatic-stress-disorder, she has the ability to intentionally, and unintentionally, be an advocate for others as well as having the ability to feel empathy, love and compassion. For a majority of Stern’s life post-rape, she has suspected she has post-traumatic-stress-disorder and her thoughts are more or less confirmed through a series of interviews and encounters with…

Compassion is easier because the person does not have to know what it feels like to have sorrow or want to alleviate suffering. For example, to emphasize with someone who has cancer without personal experience it is similar to saying that you know what it is like to be president. You can imagine the difficulty of president but you cannot truly know unless you are actually sitting in the oval office. However, you can have compassion on that person. As a person who…

society is that? The assignment that really opened my eyes to the problem was the TED Talk on domestic abuse. I have heard so many people ask the question, “well why didn’t you leave”, that it is nauseating to know that we live in a society that lacks compassion towards these individuals. I honestly did not understand why someone would stay in that type of relationship, but after the talk and how people become trapped in those relationships, I have a much greater understanding and respect for…
