Briefly write about an instance when you felt that you were not heard, seen, or respected, because of your age, gender/gender identity, academic interest (e.g. being called a nerd), professions, race, ethnicity, physical appearances (short/tall/skinny/chubby/natural hair, etc.), relationship status (single, mother, father, older sibling, youngest sibling, middle child, etc.), interests and hobbies (being called a geek, tech nerd, etc.). Why do you think you were not heard, seen, or respected.
2. Now, briefly write about another instance when you did not hear, see or respect another person because of who they are (same reasons as mentioned above. Why do you think you did not hear, see, or respect?
3. How will you engage in empathy in future? Why is it necessary in communication

Please post constructive comments and not just, “I agree with you”, “I think you are correct” (10 points).
