A radical experiment in empathy - Sam Richards
Published 2 weeks, 4 days ago
Description
By leading the Americans in his audience step by step through the thought process, sociologist Sam Richards sets an extraordinary challenge: can they understand -- not approve of, but understand -- the motivations of an Iraqi insurgent? And by extension, can anyone truly understand and empathize with another? (Filmed at TEDxPSU.)
Talk by Sam Richards.
