Introduction
Tears are part of our life and crying is important as laughing. All people can be covered with emotions and become sad. When something goes wrong, people usually express their feelings by crying, which is healthy for mental health. Some people need help when they cry, and some people do not require it, and it is crucial to find the right approach to the person before helping resolve oppressive issues.
Crying teacher
Teachers are always role models for their students, and they usually influence them positively. However, it is not possible to stay in a good mood every time, and each person has their emotional breakdowns and days when they want to express their emotions by crying. Sidgwick (2019) explained Abraham Maslow’s theory about human nature and that not all people can help in critical situations because this kind of empathy was not received in childhood. In the Hallway scenario, the crying teacher does not give any signs of help, and it is necessary to analyze all current factors and what the help might cause.
The difference in age, status, and social position play a huge role, and at the beginning of the talk to the teacher, it would be applicable to ask if she needs some help. The appeal might be rejected, and without additional pressure, some extra help might be provided again. Ethically, it will be correct to follow the teacher’s requests, and in case of refusal of help, it is important to leave her alone.
Conclusion
People always need to treat others ethically and, in difficult situations, try to help no matter what attitude is directed toward some people. Good always returns, and in pick situations, you might become a lifeboat for someone in a breakdown condition.
