Description:
Sympathy, the surge of concern or compassion for others that we so often experience, may seem to be a natural, reflexive reaction. Yet as Candace Clark reveals in her unusual and fascinating examination of this emotion, people are not born knowing when, for whom, and in what circumstances sympathy is appropriate. Rather, they learn elaborate, highly specific cultural rules that guide when to feel or display sympathy, when to claim it, and how to accept it.
