Instructions:
Drawing on content from the following modules: Emotional Intelligence and Culture

your paper:
• Emotional Intelligence and/or Empathy

You should have already spent some time thinking about these themes and how
they relate to your development while participating in the discussions. You are free
to add other content that you feel address the core question of this paper. Pull in at
least two scholarly citations to support your ideas. This paper should be between 3-
5 pages, double spaced, APA style and proofread.
