The Importance Of Empathy With Equal Right '

Empathy with Equal Right? “All seats provide equal viewing of the universe.” -Museum Guide, Hayden Planetarium.

Empathy is being able to understand someone's feelings, ideas, and opinions (putting yourself in their place). People have been trying to fighting for civil rights for many years. Even though the Civil Rights Act was passed back in 1964, totill this day, people are fighting to enforce those rights. We all have our motives for wanting equal rights. All these groups that have fought for civil rights are seen as “minority” groups. Why? Because we do not fit the standard look “light skin, eyes, and hair” in other words “white” which meant we are inferior to the mainstream white culturethan them.

Wind-Wolf is a 5 year old indian (native) child was labeled as a “slow learner” by his white teacher.The reason why the teacher called him this is because this boy was barely getting introduced to the western culture. He is coming from an indian background. The father is trying to teach the teacher where Wind-Wolf comes from. The reason he is doing this is because windwolf is being bullied for being different and the teacher does nothing to stop that for example the “the teacher insisted on calling him wind and because of that the class laughed at him causing more embarrassment”. Also the teacher said he is a “slow learner” just because he was taught different not like his other peers. Like the way he was taught to count or distinguish colors, he learned via his mother and aunt pretty much the village and the knowing how many months there are in a year.Lastly grizzly bear just wants the teacher to try to understand why windwolf is a “slow learner” he wants the teacher to know he doesn’t want windwolf to be a dropout because his school wasn’t able to understand his background he doesn't want windwolf to be ashamed of his

So good pay ,opportunities etc.. probably not. In some cases “white” people have fought aside with the minority groups and were able to experience some of the feelings they felt. Which made them realize how messed up they were being treated.So if those people against the minorities were able to feel and understand what they were going through that could have been easier to obtain civil rights.But civil right has helped people now see and try to be more open minded to situations of their own or others.

So empathy has a pretty big deal with civil rights. Having people be able to understand “put themselves in that person situation”. So one can try and be open to and empathic to
