Latin American Happiest People
On march 20 it is international happiness day. Who are the most happy people on earth? Many people may say citizens of Denmark or Switzerland are the happiest because of the famous World Happiness Report that the United Nations releases but Gallup’s report that Latin American are the happiest people in the world. So who are the happiest people? well that depends on your definition of happiness. If you think happiness is how you see your life or, in survey speak, how you rate your life today on a scale of 0 to 10, then the Danes and Swiss are the happiest people in the world. If you think happiness is how you experience your life through laughing, smiling and enjoyment, then Latin Americans are the happiest.

    So factors leading to happiness can be various, but one of them is definite. Publius Ovidius Naso, or simply Ovid, a Roman poet, said that a happy person is one who protects his beloved. I totally agree – we get true happiness only if we love and take care about who we love. Love is the most powerful…

    The level of happiness of people in this cluster can vary from HPI 27.1 to HPI 55. The average HPI of this group is 41.9 but the range of HPI is 27.9.

    Happiness, I believe, isn’t just something that happens or comes. Roko Belic controversially argues in his documentary film Happy that poorer countries like India are easily surpassing the U.S. on a list of the happiest nations in the world. Happy begins with a poverty-stricken rickshaw puller in an Indian slum who claims to be happy, very happy, in fact. Director Belic takes us to various countries, examining different people in various economic situations, and with the help of some “happiness science,” evaluating their level of happiness. Throughout the movie, Director Roko Belic illustrates that it isn’t what we do that makes us happy, but it is the people and the relationships in our lives that brings us happiness and everlasting joy.…

    The people who seem the happiest often have the most mortifying side of them. I mean no one can ever be THAT happy. Its just not possible, not in the world--the society we live in today.

    woman in latina culture

    Women in the Hispanic culture are pressured by family and the men in their lives to be successful in both school and taking on the traditional rolls of a housewife. The Hispanic community is so focused on making sure Latina students become great mothers and wives that they disregard the more important and prosperous ways to succeed in life. However, women are stepping out and obtaining college degrees and making strides in changing the traditional gender roles. Latinas are becoming more aware of the economy stimulating women to challenge their traditional roles and soar above the expectations.…

    ABC News 20/20 documentary, “Happiness, how to find it, understand it, and achieve it” by Bill Weir. Happiness is what we most want in life. Happiness cannot be bought, paid for, or found. It must be created. Happiness is a choice. Create your own happiness. Many people aim for happiness. Some through money, marriage or department stores. Our goal in life is to achieve happiness. Bill Weir reports on how to get happy, how we are hard wired for unhappiness and the extremes people will go to achieve happiness. Abraham Lincoln says” Folks are usually about as happy as they make their minds up to be.” Weir also visits the happiest places on earth, and these countries might surprise anyone.

    Latin Americans Research Paper

    There are many times in the course where I have seen Latin Americans respond to events different than North Americans would, but the different reactions mainly came from the indigenous people. The example I saw that was most prominent is “Huaorani time”. The Huaorani live in the now, when they say it is going to be two hours more, it is going to be more around eight. They don’t think about the future all they think about is the here and now. They do not save food, or when they do other Huaorani come and take it because they do not understand why have food if you are not going to use it. They do not take time for granted whereas we do.…

    Pursuit To Happiness Paper

    Each country has their own way of viewing happiness and what should make their people happy. I find this to be a misconception. We are all individuals and we all see things in a different way such as what makes us happy or feel fulfilled inside. People who are viewed as happy in our country today are also seen as being rich, having a loving family, and a great occupation. Our society is attracted to material things, rather than spiritual ones.…

    Daniel Nettle Happiness

    As a species we are fascinated by the pursuit of happiness, holding it as one of (if not the most) important goals achievable, but how much stock should we really put into this drive? As Professor Daniel Nettle argues in his book, Happiness: the science behind your smile, we are not unhappy because of our environment, but rather because of our nature. Happiness and consequently unhappiness is due in large part to how we address our world. The majority of people rank themselves above the average level of happiness, and when asked how happy they projected to be in the future the bulk of people predicted an increase in happiness. This not only means that most people are happy but most people are optimists. However, people consistently tend to…

    Latin American Working Women

    Since the beginning of time women have been seen as a lower form of a person and were denied rights for many years. It was not until 1848 that 68 women and 32 men signed a Declaration of Sentiments, which demanded equality with men before the law in education, employment and that women would be given the right to vote. Although women were allowed to work they were not treated or paid equal wage as the men were. It was not until 1963 that John F. Kennedy passed and signed the Equal Pay Act. The Equal Pay Act required private employers to give both men and women equal pay for equal work.…

    Latin American Diversity

    Over the past several decades, the United States has become a much more diverse country. Immigration from most if not all countries throughout the world are the reason for this. A large portion of the immigrants that make up our country are Hispanics. Hispanics aren’t just made up of one group of people, but rather several groups from different countries of the world including Cuba, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Central America, and South America. They differ in many ways from one another including but not limited to their method of entry into the United States, the color of their…

    Happiness vs Unhappiness

    Conventionally, the upper two categories are Happy, and the lower two are Unhappy. Thus happiness and unhappiness get measured at the same time. Out of every five adult Filipinos, four are happy and one is not. That is probably a little over the world average, for those who go for international contests. For me, what matters more is progress over time.…
