  1. It`s means to go into someones else of shoes by showing someone kindness and niceness and making them happy and safe. They care about the person who there trying to make feel safe and they don`t worried about them self there care about the person they beloved. I understand other people behaviors because some people have the same feeling at the same time or different times too. Also people have things that happened at home or at somewhere else and does feelings follow people someone else. I can show empathy by sharing my feelings to someone else that are related to the problem. Also I can share nice and kind words and not ugly words to make people feel bad and all of us to do this too. Empathy is important because it can change people feelings in a good way and a bad way. Empathy can change a community because it shares nice words and kindness around the community.

  5. What it means to put yourself in someone else's shoes is when you get to be like them and at how there acting and feeling. A way to show that you understand a person and get how they're feeling is kindness. If you act kind to the person, comfort them, help them feel better and show empathy towards them they'll probably feel better and understand that you understand them. You can show empathy towards someone by making them feel better, showing you understand by sticking by there side and making sure they feel good. Empathy is important and can change a community because without empathy everyone would be acting rude and not showing any love towards anyone. But with empathy you can help people, make sure they feel good and have a wonderful life if you can learn to have empathy for everyone.

  9. What I learned from the performance was never leave a small child alone for a long time, don’t go with somebody you don’t know or trust and whenever you need help, call for someone you trust. My favorite part was when the parents got revenge on the guy who kidnapped their daughter and the Jambo song. What surprised me was that their daughter is so vulnerable because she let him read the story to her and kidnap her. How the performance was like ours was it was both shadow puppetry, both had sound effects, and both had different colors. How it was different was that this is professional, it was interactive, and it was a bigger theater. The show inspired me because now I know that there are bad people out there and that it’s good to have someone to trust.

  10. One of the Black Lives Guiding Principles is EMPATHY! 2/6/20
    What it means to put yourself in other people’s shoes is you should feel the same way they’re feeling especially when they’re going through trauma, loss or grief. When someone one is sad to have empathy for them is by feeling what they’re feeling so that when you interact with them there understand and feel better. How you can show empathy to others is if there your very good friend and they lost a family member and you them you should cry with them as well. Empathy is important is because if we had a friend who died you wouldn’t feel sad for them and wouldn’t feel better. How it can change a community is if a famous person we canal cry for them so everyone will feel sad.

  14. What it means to put yourself in someone else's shoes it to imagine yourself in the situation of circumstances of another person so as to understand or empathize with their perspective, opinion, or point of view. The types of behaviors that show that you understand someone's feelings is to clarify that you understand what another person said , give your full attention to the person speaking, listen without judgement, good manners, acknowledge what the person has to say and don't respond too quickly. See their world to be able to see the world as other see it, appreciate them as human beings, no judgement. To be non judgmental- understand others feelings- to understand another persons feelings- communicate. Understanding- to communicate your understanding of that persons feelings. Empathy is important because if someone is having a bad day you have to look out for them and how you can change. Community is working together, being nice to each other, and helping someone if they are having a rough day.

  16. What it means to put yourself in someone's shoes is because you judge someone, think of yourself in their shoes. For example, sometimes people judge homelessness but there's a phrase called "before you judge me, put me in your shoes". It means to never look at somebody and judge them by their look because maybe they had a hard time.

  20. Empathy is important because it can help us to really understand people and their feelings. Understanding how people feel can help our community because you might not make people upset anymore. Having empathy is also important because it would help people understand each other instead of arguing with one another. Empathy helps our community because it brings us together. You can show empathy toward others by if you see them get hurt you can help them up. You can also show empathy to others by stopping people who are bullying them. You can also show empathy to others by helping them with their work when they need it. You can say kind words to them so that they feel better. One kind of behavior that shows you understand someone's feelings is kindness. You can help them when they need it. Another behavior is happiness. You can give them a smile. The last behavior is loving. You can give them a hug. What it means to put yourself in someone else's shoes is to feel how they feel. It also means you have to think what they would think at the time. It also means you would do what they would do at the moment.

  21. To put yourself in someone else's shoes means you have experienced what they have experienced. You know what they feel like. One way you can show empathy towards others is if they are hurt say, "Are you okay?" and "Do you need a hug?"
    Empathy is important because it shows that you care about them so much. It can change a community because everyone would be kind to each other and no fights and no chaos.
    Behaviors that show you understand someone's feelings are going up to them and saying "I understand how you feel. It happened to me before".
