So true! I'm reminded of a book I bought called Empathic Intelligence, by Roslyn Arnold. In some ways it's that process of empathic thought isn't it? I love what your presenter said about the relationships we have with those we don't know! Wonderful :) Tracy, thank you too for engaging me in further and deeper thinking. I'm drafting a post in response. I'm seeing lots of connections to the unsettling moments in my workplace (and that's not to say that the unsettling is bad) :) I like your questions Marica.

It relates to a basis principle of philosophy which is "the ability to imagine the other". This really got me thinking on all levels - in relation to my current job working with e-communities but also as a committed teacher/learner. How often do we imagine ourselves in other people's shoes? How often do we as teachers remember what it is like to be a learner? How often do we stop and think about what we are about to do in our teaching and its relevance to those people we are about to share the experience with? Do we really have any idea of who our learners are and what their needs are? The man giving the presentation then went on to say that our real role in society is the relationship we have with the people we don't know! Just some food for thought late on a Friday night. I hope we can talk soon. Marica :-) Hi Marg
