The Uses Of Empathy And It's Importance

LO: Describe the changes, challenges and needs of adolescents with respect to the 4 dimensions of Hauora.

Empathy: The ability to understand someone else's feelings as if they are you own.

Empathy doesn't mean that you have to have lost something or had something happen to you the same as the person in the situation to empathize. Empathy is not a gift, you have to build up your empathy to truly empathize. Empathy can help people and change their lives even when it doesn't happen to you.

Empathy is important because often you use it without knowing. Empathy can make he difference between friend and enemy.

Hauora Kete Task 2017

What Am I Learning?

I am learning to describe the changes, challenges and needs of adolescents with respect to the 4 dimensions of Hauora.

How Does This Work Show My Learning?

This shows my learning by showing that I know the 4 walls of the whare, Taha Hinengaro, Taha Wairua, Taha Whanau and Taha Tinana.

What Am I Wondering?

I am wondering if there was a 5th wall what would it be and where would it go in the building.

Business & Enterprise so far

What are we learning:

I am learning to be a good entrepreneur. 

How am I progressing with my learning:

• Identifying and managing risks to your business - I identified a risk that our original product wouldn't sell well so I told the group and we changed the product
• Being Creative - We have been creative by making our chosen product one that no one else would make
• Solving and preventing problems without adult assistance - We haven't come to any major  problems yet but with the minor one we solved them ourselves
• Using your resources wisely - We used the resources we were given wisely in the situation we were in
• Working well with others - My group has worked well with other groups when they were in trouble we helped them get out of it
• Seeing things that need doing and doing these without being asked - We have had to be reminded a few times of what to do but otherwise, we haven't done too bad
• Discussing things with your team - We discussed on what we should do for our advert and after that, we did the advert
• Being fair and responsible - I was fair when I took charge of the manager and then realised no one got a choice so I stood down
• By planning and using your time well -?

What I/My company have done so far:

My company is making eggheads. The eggheads are fully customisable and make a great decoration. If you get sick of it then you can take off the shell and eat it. We are selling them for $1.50

What we need to do next:

Next, my company needs to focus on creating our product

What you expect on market day:

I expect to sell a good amount of product and we would be lucky to sell our whole product
