Compassion is one of TA's four pillars. At any time, compassion is an important trait, but especially in a time of crisis - such as the COVID-19 pandemic - compassion is crucial, even life-saving. What are actions you take that show compassion? Remember, acts of compassion can be small as well as large, personal or communal.

About Me

- I have been a language teacher (ESL/ELL, French) for 30 years. I have taught in public and private schools, immersion programs, refugee programs, adult/continuing education, elementary, middle, and high school as well as university. Currently I teach ELL at a high school somewhere in New England.
I think compassion is an important link to maintain human society. At the same time, compassion is also a manifestation of a person's kindness, which helps many poor people get help.
ReplyDeleteThis isn't long enough, Phillip. Anything more to add?

ReplyDeleteThe answer is quite simple. Follow the basis to prevent spreading of covid . It may sound simplistic but contrary. Wearing masks,washing hands,6 feets apart,etc. These small actions would show a big compassion toward society, since there’s some people conflicted with the idea and decided not to follow it.
I think every person in the world who wears a mask during these tough days for the humanity shows some kind of the compassion. That is one really little thing but if everyone wears a mask, our environment can be safe. I personally always try to show compassion for other people. I have a habit of holding the door if someone is behind me and I think that’s small compassion but in other hand big thing for that person behind me.
ReplyDeleteI think there are some actions that look bad things but those actions actually show us their compassion. For instance, don’t show friends my answers seems bad thing but I think it’s a good thing because if I show the answers, they will rely on me anytime. And I’m always keeping in mind that if there are some people who need help, I will help them. Also I think there are so small actions showing compassion that everyone doesn’t notice. I think the best is that I act for everyone even anyone don’t see me. I want to be like that.
ReplyDeletePeople all over the world wear masks for others, not for me, and try to stay home as much as possible and make social distancing. However, there are many people who don't want to wear mask and social distancing. That's why Corona keeps happening. If I show compassion to other people, they will accompany me. If we help each other to keep these things, society will develop further and the This pandemic will end soon.
ReplyDeleteCompassion is really important. When the covid-19 outbreak in Wuhan first started, I donated 100 RMB for Wuhan, and then I donated 50 RMB for 4 consecutive days. I comforted my friend who was suffering from covid-19 and blessed him, hoping that he would get better soon
ReplyDeleteCompassion is a very important trait and nowadays even more. I think not everyone is having it with society now that Covid is with us. What I do is wear my mask when I am not in the dorm, using sanitizer, 6 feet apart, and so on.
ReplyDeleteBut I really believe that we have to have compassion always, not only on Covid time.
The meaning of compassion is to recognize the suffering of others and then take action to help. During corona pandemic, lots of people are getting covid-19. Compassion is one of the most important traits. Therefore, when someone got covid-19 people will feel compassion. When we feel compassion, we are going to worry about someone who is sick. That is action when we feel compassion.
ReplyDeleteWhat specifically do you do, Jun, to show compassion? TG
DeleteI think empathy means that people’s views on something cause empathy. This is one of the most precious human emotions. It allows people to better understand and understand each other’s thoughts when they get along with others.
ReplyDeleteOkay, but what do you do, Steven, that shows compassion (or empathy)? TG

DeleteWhere's your comment, Khoa? TG
DeleteThe compassion is very important expression. There is a kid whose age is only 12. He moved to dorm because the home stay he lived was terrible. So he moved, but he is really too young to live in dorm among the older and big brothers. If they are so careful or always understand him, compassion is not the emotion that he needs. But since he is living hard among them, I play around him and take care of him when I have a free time. Also someday I listen his concerns. So nowadays he looks kind of better and sometimes reliable on me.
ReplyDeleteThe compassion is always important, especially this pandemic. The least things we have to do is wear a mask, keep distance, wash hands. Not only in the pandemic, normal life still needs compassion. The smallest compassionate act like holding the door makes difference. However, I think that people's compassion is disappearing while we are developing to fast. People care about others less, care themselves more.
ReplyDeleteCompassion is pretty important for human kinds because sometimes we use it to help the ones who are in trouble or in a bad condition. I have a lot of compassion for example I always help the young kids in the far mountains by buying books giving old clothes or just by going there and teach them some useful knowledge
ReplyDeleteCompassion is necessary to people because every people can be in the situations that needs other people’s help. So, people who is in that situations can arouse compassion and then that people can help from other people who feel compassion. For example, in India, a person fall into the place between train and platform, so other people who are in the train station push the train to save the person. Like this example compassion is important.

ReplyDeleteDuring the epidemic in China, some people did not have money to buy masks. We will donate masks to those who are very poor and provide them with a safety measure, because we do not want one more patient in the world. There are many migrant workers during the epidemic. There is no way to eat normally without income. We will organize a charity event for them to help them. I think these things are what we should do and are a sympathy.
