RESPOND TO THE FOLLOWING TEXT:

This video was very interesting, it talked about if animals have moral/ethics like humans. In the being of the video, he talked about the chimpanzees being aggressive and power hungry. He then showed two chimpanzees that had been in a disagreement make up after the fight. I think that a lot of animals can understand some type of right or wrong. In whatever way they perceive it to be. Seeing the chimpanzee getting the chimp use the other chimp shows that he understands that he needs help to get the food was impressive. The elephants had to be the best example of animals understanding more than we think they do. They have the understanding to know they need help but also to know how to trick another elephant into helping them. I think that the video is worth the watch.

"Though the terms "sympathy" and "empathy" are sometimes used interchangeably, Bekoff and Pierce recognize a distinction between empathy as a type of emotional mimicry (feeling what another is feeling) and sympathy as having an emotion on behalf on another (feeling for the other) They also take empathy to come in various degrees of complexity, ranging from low-level emotional contagion, where an emotion is triggered in an individual as result of merely observing a behavioral cue from another (such as a distressed or fearful facial expression), to cognitive empathy, where the individual is able to fully adopt the emotional perspective of another and understand the reasons for it (e.g., understanding that another individual is fearful and what has caused this). The latter requires a rich mind-reading capacity, while lower levels of empathy needn't require any ability to represent others' mental states (Fitzpatrick, 2017).
