One of my favorite lectures of this
semester was Professor Brady's lecture about the difference between
Empathy and Sympathy. She showed us that sympathy is when you
recognize that another person is suffering. On the other hand,
empathy is when you suffer along side of that person. When she gave
the example of losing her father and having empathy towards her
family because they suffered together, I could really relate to this
because I also lost my father and suffered along side my entire
family. This allowed me to understand the difference between Empathy
and Sympathy because I experienced it first hand. I believe that when
you can personally relate to a lecture it makes the lecture that much
clearer and easier for you to understand. Even though Professor
Brady only briefly went over this subject, it really caught my
attention and that is why I have chosen to write about it.
