Children's education in Denmark: All students should receive "empathy education" from an early age-learn to care about others and think from their perspective.
The lower grades of primary school pay special attention to cultivating children's recognition of various emotions. Danish children must participate in the national project "Step by Step", and they will see pictures of different emotions, including sadness, fear, anger, depression and happiness.
Then discuss the feelings when you see these pictures together, and describe them in concrete language as much as possible, not only to describe other people's emotions, but also to express your own thoughts. The purpose is to make them understand that any emotion deserves respect and understanding. ?
Danes also don't accept whitewashing a beautiful world in front of children. Denmark is often rated as the happiest country in the world, so many people discuss what kind of family education can create such a happy mentality. Obviously, talking about an imperfect ending is an important part.
This kind of education makes Danes more empathetic to others and show good quality in dealing with people.
A considerate policy:
1. Pay attention to the welfare, interests and needs of others: you must have some knowledge to feel the same with others. The theme of empathy must be an event or situation that violates the welfare, interests and needs of the target, which also includes any facts related to this adversity.
2. Integration into the common values of mankind: This ability to integrate into the welfare, interests and needs of others also requires the ability to adopt the values of others. Empathy involves the ability to integrate human common values across various interpersonal relationships and cultures.
3. Stop your thoughtful criticism: If you only want to solve the problem when facing the goal, you will not feel the real or subjective feelings of the problem with him. Empathy can only solve the problem after establishing intimate relationship and trust.
This does not mean that you have to agree or accept the viewpoint or value evaluation of your goal. Nevertheless, in the process of empathy, you must get rid of your own evaluation, analysis and evaluation in order to see the subjective world of the target from a subjective perspective. Of course, if the subjective world of the target is abnormal or evil, it may be difficult. This is why most of us have no empathy for child molestation or massacres.
4. Establish contact with the goal: It is a necessary condition for empathy to suspend value judgment and put yourself in the subjective perspective of the goal. It won't criticize or challenge each other's ideas, on the contrary, it will urge the target to develop their narrative in order to better understand them.
5. Using reflection: It can further promote the understanding of empathy, and it is a skill called "reflection".
