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 (http://greatergood.berkeley.edu/topic/empathy/definition). One recent study shows that the act of perceiving others’ pain (i.e., empathy for others’ pain) does not appear to involve the same neural circuitry as experiencing pain in one’s own body, suggesting that they are different interactions within the brain. The researchers found that the brain patterns when the volunteers observed pain did not overlap with the brain patterns when the volunteers experienced pain themselves. Instead, while observing pain, the volunteers showed brain patterns consistent with mentalizing, which involves imagining another person’s thoughts and intentions. Click to open full paper :

Critical reasoning or thinking is something where you put your allied areas of knowledge together to arrive at a solution. It also involves reflective thinking. Below is an example to engage children in critical thinking. This example is for children aged between 14 to 18 years. Ex: Bio metric thumb impression machine testing. A company wants to test its bio metric thumb impression machine. This is to check the authenticity of the machine for detecting frauds by comparing the finger prints of a person during the time he is alive and after death. The study tries to establish whether there are changes occur in the fingerprint after the death of a person. A comparative study has to be made on the samples (both live and dead samples), in order to find any possible changes in the characteristics of the live and dead fingerprint samples. A set of dead samples have to be analyzed using various techniques to find the similar properties/characteristics in those samples. Those properties wil

Students fall below their expected level of mathematics achievement for a variety of reasons. When asked why they were not as successful in learning mathematics, many people reply that they “never understood math,” or “never liked it because it was too abstract and did not relate to them. Students are confused by words that also have special mathematical meaning, such as “volume,” “yard,” “power,” and “area.”  Click hear for full read If you cannot open the link, paste the below link to your browser. http://www.education.com/reference/article/why-students-struggle-mathematics/

"Why it’s only when a person hits college that we teach such important life skills as communication. I know I’m biased because this is my line of work, but think about this. Do you know many people with good communication skills? Are most people good listeners? Do they engage in conflict management effectively?
