Writing about Empathy
Hopefully the class activities have helped you think about what it means to take an empathic stance in your work. Now it’s time to draft your introduction to the Empathy section of your KEEPS portfolio. This piece of writing should address the following questions (please do not “answer” the questions in list form — these are GUIDELINES to the kinds of things that should be addressed.)

• How would you define Empathy? How has this domain been defined for you via LIU coursework and assignments. Be sure to draw attention to where your understanding and the academic standing converge and differ.
• How has this domain showed up in your professional work as a teacher with the DOE?
• What ideas about Empathy particularly engage you?
• What is your understanding of Empathy as it relates to teaching?
• In what way does Empathy manifest in your teaching practice?
• Have your ideas about Empathy changed over the course of the program? How?
• What questions persist for you?

Keep in mind that the domain addresses both the empathy you express in your teaching practice, and in your practice as a masters level student. Reflect upon your strengths and areas of growth for you in relation to the claims.

You are expected to incorporate ideas from the reading that you have done for TAL 971/975 and/or that you have encountered in other courses and contexts (including your personal life.) Be sure to cite sources appropriately using APA format. You must incorporate AT LEAST 3 SOURCES in your domain narrative.

These drafts should be 4-5 pages, typed, double-spaced, using correct APA format.

Kinds of Perspectives ( Copied from the textbook – Perspectives on International Relations, power-institutions-ideas, Fifth edition, by Henry R. Nau )
*Realist perspective – Emphasizing the struggle for relative power, which in turn limits the universality of what is right. It sees the world largely in terms of strong actors seeking to dominate weak ones and weak actors resisting strong ones to preserve their interests and independence. Realist scholars writing about the past do not tell the whole story.
*Liberal perspective – Emphasizing relationships and interdependence among actors in international affairs, how a group interacts communicate, negotiate, and trade with one another.
*Identity perspective – Emphasizing the importance of ideas that define the identities of actors and motivate (cause) their use of power and negotiations in international affairs.
*Critical theory perspective – Such as Marxism, emphasizing the deeper material forces propelling history toward its predetermined end. In the case of Marxism, the predetermined end is communism. In other instances of critical theory, it might be the emancipation of marginalized voices of simply deconstruction of all power relationships. Critical approaches remind us that attempts to understand history through perspectives are always selective and, therefore, biased. Social forces are holistic. They drive social science researchers no less than do the political, economic, and military events that researchers try selectively to understand. These approaches make people skeptical of all effects to select and emphasize specific factors to understand international relations, whether power or identity factors. Critical theories, on the other hand, face a comparable limitation. Even though they insist on studying history as a whole, not by selecting and focusing on specific hypotheses, they have to concede that they can ever tell us the whole story of history. Critical theory can tell us the story of history only from the social vantage point of a particular critical theory scholar.

Discussion: Ethics in the Community

In Chapter 1 of your text, you saw how moral reasoning involves moving back and forth between general, abstract ideas like principles and values and particular concrete judgments about what is good or right, and seeking to find a kind of agreement or equilibrium between those.

In Chapters 3, 4, and 5, you were introduced to utilitarianism, deontology, and virtue ethics. Each of these ethical theories represents different ways of reasoning about ethical questions, based in different account of the principles, values, and other conceptions that inform the “abstract” side of the dialectic.

In this course, and in much of life, the “concrete” ethical issues that receive the most attention are frequently those that elicit passionate responses and widespread debate, affect large numbers of people, involve matters of deep significance like life and death or fundamental rights, and so on. However, as important as these issues are, there is often a limit to how much impact most individuals can have on such matters; instead, the place where ethics and moral reasoning have their greatest impact is in one’s local community. Thus, in this final discussion board, you will demonstrate your grasp of the relation between the abstract ideas in one of these theories and a concrete ethical issue or social problem in your local community.

Engage the community:
Begin by finding an ethical issue or social problem that currently impacts or has recently impacted your local or regional community (such as your neighborhood, town or city, county, school district, religious community, or something of similar scope to any of these).
Briefly summarize the issue or problem, and provide a link to a news article, video, or some other resource that documents the issue or problem so that your fellow students can learn more about it when formulating their responses to you.
Apply the theory:
Next, choose one of the ethical theories and discuss how the moral reasoning of the theory might be used to address or resolve the issue or problem.
Evaluate the reasoning:
In evaluating the application of the moral theory you may, for example, consider one or more questions like:
Does this differ from the way this issue is currently being addressed?
Does it present a better response than another ethical approach would?
Does the theory present an adequate response to the issue, or does it leave significant aspects of the issue unresolved?
Does applying the theory to this issue raise other problems or concerns?
In light of this issue, are there ways the principles or values of the theory might need to be modified from the form that we studied in class?
