the role of empathy in fighting disease

Description

Directions: Expand on your ideas from our Discussion Board posts as well as your Writing Assignment 3 in order to make an argument about the role of empathy in fighting disease. You can  make an argument about COVID-19 or another disease (cancer, addiction, mental illness) in order to consider how and why empathy impacts our response to a disease, including how we fight it and how we respond to people with it. Draw evidence from both readings  as well as your own experiences to develop a working-thesis, as well as an overall argument that you can use to develop your body paragraphs and eventually formulate a conclusion. Requirements:  Draft must be at least 2 complete pages. (Try to worry more about your argument and your content instead of page count. Use your previous writing if you find yourself staring at an intimidating blank page!) Draft must include an introduction and a working-conclusion. (It is alright if these are in progress) Draft must have a thesis (It is alright if your thesis is in progress)Draft must include textual evidence as well as your own personal experiences. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/08/crack-heroin-and-race/401015/ https://harpers.org/archive/2013/09/the-devils-bait/
