Introduction

Humans usually understand other’s emotions and their actions. For example, they can feel sorrow when they see someone in pain. Or, they can understand why someone did some acts even when they are not in that situation. And as ‘Harvard Sampler’ says that human ability is both innate and acquired, empathy ability is as well. It is true that a person's empathy ability is influenced by his or her experience and environment, but I argue that empathy ability is more likely innate so it is hard to change.

There are three supporting reasons. First, feeling other’s emotions is not just invoking memory from the brain but it is closely related to certain human brain action. And, people who innately have disease 'Altruism' cannot truly improve their empathy ability. In addition, the empathy among nonhuman animals can support my argument.
