Publisher's Synopsis
Empathy is a force for good! But it doesn't come easily to everyone. This guide explores the concepts of empathy and apathy and how they function in a community. Readers discover the positive aspects of empathy through real-world examples of people, many of them teens, who made a difference in their own communities by researching problems and searching for solutions. The text also discusses what occurs when a lack of empathy exists within a community. Photographs of teenagers engaged in community activities will help readers make a meaningful connection with the text.
