Question

Hello I need help please the history is The Limits of Empathy. By David Brooks 2011.

Answer 1

Answer:

12. B. While empathy encourages caring feelings towards others, it alone does not

drive people to act on their feelings in the same way as a sense of responsibility.

13. B. “Empathy makes you more aware of other people’s suffering, but it’s not clear it

actually motivates you to take moral action or prevents you from taking immoral

action.” (Paragraph 4)

D. “It has become a way to experience delicious moral emotions without

confronting the weaknesses in our nature that prevent us from actually acting

upon them.” (Paragraph 10)

14. A. The author compares how likely empathetic people are to take moral action

with people who have a sense of duty.
