4. Thinking about the situation of others is another character trait. What
behaviour is shown when you are thinking about others? How might you be?

For example if a person has a facial disfigurement what behaviour would the
empathetic person show as opposed to those who didn’t have any empathy?

What kind of thoughts would you have if you thought about others?

Could you say which, if any of these qualities could be regarded as ‘good’ or
‘bad’ or both? Could you say why? Please give examples.

5. In the classroom how can you tell when a teacher is being fair? ie. How do you
tell or recognise fairness in people generally? What feeling do you have when
people are fair towards you?
