Imagine that Juan, a foreign exchange student, joins your biology class. During his first week, you chat with him for a bit. Which of the following would suggest that you recognize his needs and feelings?

I. You ask him questions about his home country.

II. You listen carefully as he talks to you.

III. You ask him what his experiences in the United States have been like so far.

I only
I and II
I and III
I, II, and III

Answer :

The answer is I, II and III.

  All three actions (I, II and III) would suggest that you are recognizing his needs and feelings.

 When you ask about his home country, you are getting aware of how the people there live, the hardships, their culture and various new aspects of life you may never have wondered about.

 When you listen carefully as he talks to you, he can feel warmly received in a new country, which is very good when you feel lonely in a new place.

 When you get interested in his experiences in the United States, you can show that his opinion is important.

 Everything you do to recognize someone's needs and feelings is called Empathy.
