The 7 Essential Virtues of Moral Intelligence - Virtue 1 - EMPATHY

Virtue 1 - Empathy

This is the core moral emotion that allows students to identify with other people's feelings.  This virtue helps kids become more sensitive to the needs and feelings of others, be more likely to help those whe are hurt or troubled, and treat others more compassionately.  It is also the powerful moral emotion that urges kids to do what is right because they can recognize the impact of emotional pain on others, stopping them from acting cruelly.
