What is the difference between apathy and empathy?

It is basically the name of inaction, not being concerned about what is happening around. If you feel disinterested with reference to your education, your family, your friends or the environment around you, it means the situation is alarming and you have apathetic behavior. Whereas empathy is one's ability to recognize, perceive and feel directly the emotion of another. Empathy is often characterized as the ability to "put oneself into another's shoes", or experiencing the outlook or emotions of another being within oneself.
