“…Philosophical and psychological interest in empathy was revived in the 1990s with the discovery of mirror neurons. These neurons and circuits of neurons within the cortex and limbic system are activated either when we perform certain actions or feel certain basic emotions or when we see other people perform an activity [19][20][21]. Empathic communication results from myriad processes occurring in the brain [22].…”

Empathy and compassion have become a major focus for international research and appear to be important concepts in human development. There are several definitions and models of empathy and compassion available in the literature. Based on theoretical foundations, a new model of empathy – compassion - love is proposed in the present article. This new model emphasizes the evolution of the concept of empathy, which, at higher levels, takes the form of compassion, which will then be transformed into even higher universal love making empathy and compassion a creative and significant process for the gradual evolution of individuals. In addition, emphasis is placed on ICT tools that contribute to the development of empathy and compassion.

“…En la otra cara de la moneda, acepciones que se sobrepongan a los sentimientos supramencionados necesitan ser observadas con moderación, pues se admite que ambas emociones, positivas y negativas, cumplen funciones sui generis con igual grado de importancia para el adulto mayor (23). Es también relevante saber que una comprensión equívoca sobre los fundamentos de la empatía clínica podría levantar bandera roja para el riesgo de fijar un carácter apático, frío y poco profesional, impidiendo el goce de una real atención integral en la vejez (22).…”

La atención integral a la salud del adulto mayor es considerada una de las tareas más dinámicas y complejas para los sistemas públicos de salud y de asistencia social. Esta revisión narrativa constituye un ensayo crítico-analítico, de reflexión gerontológica sobre la práctica empática en la producción de actos de salud direccionados a resolver los problemas socio-sanitarios del segmento poblacional envejecido. Con tal visión, se propone una comprensión conceptual y práctica de la empatía, a través de la identificación de sus potencialidades y limitaciones en el contexto de la clínica geriátrica-gerontológica. Comprehensive health care for older adults is considered one of the most dynamic and complex tasks for public health and social care systems. This narrative review constitutes a critical-analytical essay of gerontological reflection on the empathic practice in the production of health acts aimed at solving the socio-health problems of the aging population segment. With such view, a conceptual and practical understanding of empathy is proposed, through the identification of its potentialities and limitations in the context of the geriatric-gerontological clinic.

“…Finally, allegiance relates to the spectator's moral evaluation of characters based on factors such as their actions. In this level, sympathy with the character may form by how the spectator, "…evaluates them and whether she sides with them" (Tobón, 2019) which results in an emotional response. In addition to the structure of sympathy, Välisalo (2017) discovers 11 more categories of character engagement with one of them being identified as "physical and personality traits" which further emphasises the significance of personality as a factor for evoking sympathy by the spectator.…”

Re-inscribing Budi in Contemporary 3D Malaysian Animation Characters in Geng; The Adventure Begins (2009) and BoBoiBoy: The Movie (2016)

The success of Malaysian 3D animation films, Geng; The Adventure Begins (2009) and BoBoiBoy: The Movie (2016) in attracting local reception is partly due to their portrayal of the diversity of Malaysian ethnicity, traditions and moral values which the local audience may find relatable. Although these films portray modernity, the values represented are based on the traditional Malay concept of Budi re-inscribed in the characters’ personalities. The concept of Budi in this paper employs the academic study of Lim Kim Hui (2003a) and it includes my attempt to argue that this traditional asset can be re-imagined in the contemporary digital form which can be analysed through the main characters’ personalities in the selected films. Personality is one of the key principles of animation introduced by Lasseter (1987) for the 3D animation format and with it, helps shape characters to be unique and recognizable as depicted in their behaviours, habits as well as interaction with other characters. In addition, I employ Smith’s “structure of sympathy” to explain the spectator’s engagement with the fictional personalities portrayed on screen. The concept of Budi re-inscribed in characters of contemporary 3D Malaysian animation films proves that traditional values are not lost in modern times. Animation films are mostly watched by younger audiences, therefore Budi as a traditional moral concept can be sustained and disseminated to the younger generation in digital form.
