4.1 What is Social Awareness?

What is Social Awareness?  The ability to take the perspective of others and empathize with them, including those from diverse backgrounds and cultures. The ability to understand social and ethical norms for behavior and to recognize family, school and community resources and supports. 

Take a moment and think of your circle? Do your friends work in a different field than you? Are they a different nationality than you? Having diversity represented in your daily life can make it easier to use this skill.
