Something very important to name in this chapter is the fact that we should take into consideration others’ point of view when we want to understand their acting. To me that sometimes turns difficult to do because we consider that the way we think is right, and that there is no another one.
Personally I try to do that in order to understand some things but it doesn’t mean that I will do them completely.
We choose to consider somebody else’s point of view which would or not conditionate our actions or we can choose to ignore other’s feelings, thinking. And we come back again to something very crucial in our lives: choosing.

What do you mean when you say "we can choose to ignore other people's feelings", Laura? If I'd understood you correctly, you had just said this was not a valid option (in your previous entry)...
And how important can this ability to empathize be for a teacher? Can a teacher choose to think "their own point of view is the only right choice"? What are the dangers?
Big hug,

What I wanted to say is that we sometimes have to take into account other peoples` feelings because the things that we do may affect them (positively or negatively),so in a way we have to take into consideration how they may feel about our behavior. However, most of the times our behavior does not benefits everybody. That is, WE CAN NOT PLEASE EVERYBODY!!
As regarding the last questions, I think that is highly dangerous for a teacher to think that his/her point of view is the right because that would led learners to feel that their opinion does not worth because it is not correct according to the teacher`s .
Hi Lau!
You've written: "it's highly dangerous for a teacher to think that his/her point of view is the only right one"
I just wanted to tell you I agree completely, and think this also applies to anyone with some degree of authority... I wish all teachers, parents and governors never forgot this!!!
Love,
Gladys
