Objectives:
1. Understand what empathy is;
2. Internalize the importance of being sensitive to the feelings of your fellowmen;
3. Demonstrate empathy in your everyday dealings with your fellowmen.
Overview:
Empathy works so well because it does not require a solution, it requires only understanding. Empathy
is an essential factor in building and strengthening relationships. Being able to feel what others feel
encourages us to open ourselves to others and make a connection with them. We also feel the urge to
actually do something to help them out.
Lesson Proper
What is Empathy?
The term “empathy” is used to describe a wide range of experiences. Emotion researchers generally
define empathy as the ability to sense other people’s emotions, coupled with the ability to imagine what
someone else might be thinking or feeling.
3 types of Empathy
Cognitive Empathy
Cognitive empathy, also known as ‘perspective-taking’ is not really what most of us would think of as
empathy at all. Cognitive empathy is basically being able to put yourself into someone else’s place, and see
their perspective.
Emotional Empathy
Emotional empathy is when you quite literally feel the other person’s emotions alongside them, as if
you had ‘caught’ the emotions. Emotional empathy is also known as ‘personal distress’ or ‘emotional
contagion’. This is closer to the usual understanding of the word ‘empathy’, but more emotional.
Compassionate Empathy
Compassionate empathy is what we usually understand by empathy: feeling someone’s pain, and
taking action to help. The name, compassionate empathy, is consistent with what we usually understand by
compassion. Like sympathy, compassion is about feeling concern for someone, but with an additional move
towards action to mitigate the problem.

3. Demonstrate justice and mercy in everyday life situation.
Overview:
We are not perfect neither are our fellow human beings. We will always commit mistakes and other
people will not always live up to our expectations. We can, however, deal will their errors and
shortcomings by bringing them to justice or showing them mercy. It all depends on our careful
consideration and wise judgment.
Lesson Proper
What is Justice?
Justice is the quality of being fair and reasonable. A system of reward or punishment. A Judicial
System.
What is Mercy?
Mercy means having compassion or giving forgiveness towards someone who one has the power to
punish. It forebears punishing even when justice demands it.
Justice and mercy are two different concepts that are often expressed in the same sentence or phrase.
They are seen together but are very different sentiments. Justice seems harsh and pedantic and is also linked
to the judicial system and the righteous laws of the land. Mercy, on the other hand, is soft and
compassionate, a virtuous quality of human kindness.

Lesson Proper
What is Friendship?
Friendship for most people is a combination of affection, loyalty, love, respect, and trust. The general
traits of a friendship include similar interests, mutual respect and an attachment to each other, and in order
to experience friendship, you need to have true friends. The emotional safety provided by friendship means
not having to weigh your thoughts and measure words. True friendship is when someone knows you better
than yourself and takes a position in your best interests in a crisis. Friendship goes beyond just sharing time
together, and it is long lasting.
As the saying goes, ‘Anything is possible if you have the right people beside you.’ It means when you
have good friends in your life, the goals of your life become easier to achieve. Friends are an important part
of one’s life, as they are there for you in your problems and hard times. Life without friends, will not be an
easy one.

Objectives:
1. Understand the difference between emotions and feelings;
2. Examine how emotions and feelings affect our lives:
3. Apply managing emotion skills to character-building situations.
Overview:
Our emotions, especially intense ones, can make us do unexpected things. That is how commanding
and influential our emotions are when it comes to our decisions and actions. In a fit of anger, for instance,
we may say things that we don’t really mean and hurt others, and it is only when all of the anger has been
spent that we regret our actions. Therefore, it is important to manage our emotions well by learning more
about them and seeking guidance from those with enough wisdom.
Lesson Proper
What is Emotion?
Emotions are the most present, pressing and sometimes painful force in our lives. We are driven day by
day by our emotions. We take chances because we're excited for new prospects. We cry because we've been
hurt and we make sacrifices because we love. Without a doubt, our emotions dictate our thoughts, intentions
and actions with superior authority to our rational minds. Negative emotions, like rage, envy or bitterness,
tend to spiral out of control, especially immediately after they've been triggered. In time, these sorts of
emotions can grow like weeds, slowly conditioning the mind to function on detrimental feelings and
dominating daily life. Ever met a person who's consistently angry or hostile? They weren't born that way.
But they allowed certain emotions to stir within them for so long that they became inbred feelings arising all
too frequently.
1. Don't react right away. Reacting immediately to emotional triggers can be an immense mistake.
2. Ask for divine guidance. Faith is our saving grace in our darkest moments.
3. Find a healthy outlet. Now that you've managed your emotion, you'll need to release it in a healthy way.
4. See the bigger picture. Every happening of our lives, whether good or bad, serves a higher purpose.
5. Replace your thoughts. Negative emotions bind us to recurring negative thoughts, creating cycles of
downright negative patterns.
6. Forgive your emotional triggers. Your emotional triggers may be your best friend, your family members,
yourself or all of the above.

Week 5
Many people use the terms “feeling” and “emotion” as synonyms, but they are not interchangeable. While they
have similar elements, there is a marked difference between feelings and emotions.
Feelings. Both emotional experiences and physical sensations — such as hunger or pain — bring about
feelings, according to Psychology Today. Feelings are a conscious experience, although not every conscious
experience, such as seeing or believing, is a feeling, as explained in the article.
Emotions. An emotion “can only ever be felt…through the emotional experiences it gives rise to, even though
it might be discovered through its associated thoughts, beliefs, desires, and actions.” Emotions are not conscious but
instead manifest in the unconscious mind.
Robert Plutchik's theory defines that the eight basic emotions are:
1. Fear → feeling of being afraid , frightened, scared.
2. Anger → feeling angry. A stronger word for anger is rage
3. Sadness → feeling sad. Other words are sorrow, grief (a stronger feeling, for example when someone has died)
4. Joy → feeling happy. Other words are happiness, gladness
5. Disgust → feeling something is wrong or nasty. Strong disapproval[2].
6. Surprise → being unprepared for something.
7. Trust → a positive emotion; admiration is stronger; acceptance is weaker.
8. Anticipation → in the sense of looking forward positively to something which is going to happen. Expectation
is more neutral
