    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…

Just being in their shoes is not enough, you have to feel the same and think the same. Using this skill set with others can ultimately give you an inside look into this person which could help you in more than just the business world. As a teen, I wasn't emotional or rather was unsure on how to express them. When I entered my first high school English class we read Night by Elie Wiesel, the first book to give the urge for empathy.…

    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 hermit set out of camp at midnight, carrying his backpack and his bag of break-in tools, and threaded through the forest, rock to root to rock, every step memorized. Not a boot print left behind. It was cold and nearly moonless, a fine night for a raid, so he hiked about an hour to the Pine Tree summer camp, a few dozen cabins spread along the shoreline of North Pond in central Maine. With an expert twist of a screwdriver, he popped open a door of the dining hall and slipped inside, scanning the pantry shelves with his penlight. Candy!…

    The Empathy Diaries The first section of the book began to introduce the ideas that Turkle would be revisiting throughout the book, setting the stage for what the book would be about. This section makes the claim that we are straying from good conversation, and need to get back to real, in person conversing. A passage that really spoke to me was “It all adds up to a flight from conversation--at least from conversation that is open-ended and spontaneous, conversation in which we play with ideas, in which we allow ourselves to be fully present and vulnerable, Yet these are the conversations where empathy and intimacy flourish and social actions gain strength.” (Page 4)…

    Growing up in Brooklyn, in the early 90’s was one of the best experiences in my life. I remember the ice cream trucks, corner stores, fire hydrates being opened for the kids especially when there was a block party but most of all, the unity of families and neighbors. Many people will say “Brooklyn, only the strong survive” and I have lived by that phrase my entire life. It showed me the beauty of living in one of the boroughs that makes up New York City and has taught me to be a strong person. It’s not made for the weak.…

    Aspects of empathy, such as emotional contagion, have also been demonstrated in pri- mates. In a classical study monkeys can acquire fear of snakes after watching other monkeys’ fearful interactions with snakes, without any personal experience [10]. Also, an experiment in which peripheral skin temperature was measured in chimpanzees while they viewed an emotionally laden video demonstrated a decrease of skin temperature, indicative of sympathetic arousal, when they viewed videos of conspecifics injected with needles or videos of the needles themselves [33]. However, it has to be pointed out that, on the contrary to what happens in rodents, in primates facial expressions have a crucial role in comunication within groups [34].…
