Description

My participation in 21 Toys, The Empathy Toy, gave me the opportunity to think about the meaning of correct formulation, and comprehension that people can perceive the same words in completely different ways. The empathy helps to interpret the feelings and emotional condition among the group. Therefore, empathy helps to succeed in any group activity by creating a non-aggressive atmosphere, proficiency, and well-coordinated group work. As a “Guider” it was very difficult to control the movements of the Builder. Although most of the instructions were so obvious and didn’t require much effort to understand them, still for some members instructions were impracticable. A misunderstanding of instructions in terms of an incorrectly chosen dictionary might be a reason for poor performance of orders. As an observer, I found the task was very interesting because all comments should have been positive only; therefore, not to create a negative attitude for the Builder and the Guider. This task showed that negative words affected the result of the work. My role of being a builder was the most difficult one. To be blindfolded means catching what the Guider implies in communicating and the tone of his voice. Then it is necessary to interpret the feelings and to give a value to any information from the Guider. In my other classes at Seneca College I will apply new skills to build a dialogue, make effective decisions or solve problems in the group. In the future, I will no doubt use improved skills for greater success at work with my colleagues. "21 Toys" gives future students an invaluable experience in communicating with people. Other abilities can also be seen while playing 21 Toys such as - values, weaknesses of participants, and planned actions. How deep should we feel an empathy?...
