Changing Perspectives: Understanding Empathy Gap and Theory of Mind

Changing perspectives

Empathy gap
 The aim of this presentation is to discuss the difference in view point,
beliefs and values with changing culture.
 My communication with the Bangladeshi woman of 50 who had a
completely different religious and social-cultural background from those
of mine.
 The empathy gaps between us is completely dependent on the
cognitive bias that manipulate out attitudes, behaviours and
preferences (El-Gohary 2016).

Person of focus
 My Person of focus is a woman of fifty who is a migrant in my country
Australia and purely Muslim in religion.
 Initially I had very limited idea that every Bangladeshi people are quite
undereducated especially the women.
 I used to think that the Muslim woman do not get support from their
household ad follow some orthodox ideologies.
 After interviewing her I gained insight about the traditions and
perspectives that guide her in life.
 My point of view has changed a great deal as I have started to
understand the Muslims of the developing country like Bangladesh are
not under educated, orthodox and aggressive as I used to thought.
