Week4 Pleasure and Gratification/Sympathy and Empathy



In the class on Wednesday, we talked about difference between empathy and sympathy, and pleasure and gratification. Although I never think of difference, Sayaka’s post (thanks to Sayakka!) clarified the difference of empathy and sympathy.
I found nice diagram for the difference of two from same page as Sayaka’s video on web.



Also, Ken introduced difference between pleasure and gratification in our lives. It was interesting and somewhat fortunate for me to hear other people’s gratification in their life, My 3 gratifications were: reading good books, playing the musical instruments, and walking in the park. I was impressed to hear other’s opinions, especially when one of my group members said her gratification is studying because it makes/indicate clear goal of life. I tend to pursue instant pleasure such as laughter and delight especially when a life gets busy, but I strongly believe we cannot achieve our goal in life without gratification!
So, what is your gratification and why?

  1. Hi Moe,

    These are terrific posts. I really liked the Harvard Program on Negotiation link and those stories—so much of it is exactly what we are studying in class. And I watched an interesting video clip on the side that talked about negotiation seating, and discouraged sitting across from one another if you want a good outcome.
