First 1-2 paragraphs. Identify 2 examples of uncaring from the movie WIT. Choose ONE of the 2 and briefly describe how/why the example is uncaring. For that one example, briefly describe the outcome and/or response of the person “receiving” the uncaring exchange. (Don’t just say “she looked sad”, or something like that. Instead describe it more fully in terms of whether there was an impact on healing, or curing, or alleviation of suffering, or whatever. In other words, integrate content from the course, previous courses, or other resources.) Then, for that one example, identify and briefly explain which of Hallsdorsdottir’s 5 Modes of Caring Encounters fits the uncaring example. (Cite and Reference)
