EMPATHY GAPS
• The empathy gaps can be defined as the limits in understanding of one
person with another person.
• The most important aspect of this idea is that the understandings of human
are ‘state dependent’.
• When a person gets angry it is very difficult to understand what a person
like to be calm, and vice versa.
• When a person completely in love with a specific person, it becomes difficult
to imagine the life of not being in love with that person in future.
• People rarely listens or understands the feelings of the other people whom
the person do not like.
• The areas which lead to the creation of empathy gaps are Culture, Social
conditions and socialization, Political, Educational level and systems,
Experience of life
