Empathy vs Sympathy

I am currently in a Child Life class that preps us for experiences as Child Life Specialists, and we talked about an interesting idea while discussing how to best help our patients: empathy vs sympathy.

There are few things I love more than short, yet powerful videos that make a point quickly. And I think this video did a fabulous job communicating a meaningful message using interesting images, slight humor, and very straight-to-the-point statements. Thinking about all of this, it became clear to me how much the facets model of advertising really applied. It was easy for me to pick out the facets in this video, even though it isn't really advertising a product.

Also, big fat nerd status over here. It's fine.

Anyway, it really is a great video. Take a look for yourself!
