Today, you will watch Roman's talk for a second time (re: Empathy revolution) - only this time, on your own.
Your task is to dissect his lecture step by step.
1) Create a handout (not a slideshow) that walks someone through the lecture, step by step.
2) Start the handout by explaining WHY Roman believes that empathy is needed to create social change.
3) Then, outline the 8 ideas that he suggests that can start an 'Empathy Revolution'. Use subheadings for each of the ideas, and bullet points
