Can hapinness be defiend? What factors are important in achieving happiness?


west 1-18  Nov 3, 09, 06:58pm  #
This is an essay ...

SEE BELOW

Some other have said finding the right career path is also important in finding happiness in life.
This is because you will spend a great part of it in that chosen career. Some others feel happiness can be achieved by having a sense of the metaphysical. A spiritual realtionship with the unseen God. A lot of testimonies about this experience is documented in literature.

Hapiness is important although some describe it as temporary because they feel it is greatly affected by your circumstance. They recommend that people should look for the more permanent experience called Joy. Joy they say is feeling upbeat regardless of your situation. Whether Joy or happiness, both are experiences worth dying for.

Hapiness is an experience people wish to have. How to measure or define it has been a controversial topic since because of time immemorial.

This essay considers why hapiness is difficult to define adn important factors important in achieving hapiness.
Hapiness is difficult to define because it means different things to different people. Some believe hapiness is a feeling, while others believe itsit is achieved by reaching a particular status in society. In fact some people think that it is a religious experience, while others believe its that it is your state of mind at a particular time. These diverse opinions on what happiness is makes it difficult to define.

A factor that is key to achieving hapiness is satisfaction. It has nothing to do with your wealth or status in society. It only has to do with contentment. Being satisfied with who you are without caring whose ox is gored. so simple u should rewrite

Many books always agree( whether book can agree? it is an object not a person) on one fact about hapiness in life, that is being with the right marriage partner. It is generally agreed that being with your "twin flame" is the secret key to unlocking happiness with out measure.

Dear thinh,

Thanks for reading through, expected to see some comments. It is actually from time immemorial and not because of time immemorial. It is better to be simple than give complex sentences. I truly appreciate your comments but please leave some comments. Also why dont you attempt it too under exam conditions.

You want a review? You misspelled happiness more than one way, more than twice...
You violated the precept not to refer in your essay to your essay.

Happiness cannot be defined objectively because sentient humans cannot evoke the state with control or understand its nature internally, both of which precede an agreed definition. Faced with the knowledge of his impending death, he is profoundly unsettled about what to feel in life, in view of the temporal consequence of every event. Enduring happiness demands that a person confront eschatological uncertainty or cope by occupying their mind with attention to events deemed significant. Happiness in the form of contentment can be logical or emotional, rational or irrational. As people resolve to different conclusions on the circumstances which should establish a cause for happiness, each person feels uniquely according to concurrent, unstructured reactions and measured responses. If people could agree substantially on the element of input, we'd be closer to a definition for happiness.

hi west, this is my essay, i wrote it about 2 months ago. pl check for me, thanks so muhc

Happiness is considered very important in life.
Why is it difficult to define?
What factors are important in achieving happiness?


There is no double that every one all over the world always pursues happiness, which is considered to be very important in our lives. Thus, What happiness is, how to achieve it is the controversial question. In this essay, I will analyze happiness definition and as well as factors which influence on acquiring happiness.

Obviously, it is really very difficult to achieve a perfect concept about happiness; because, it depends on several different factors such as which places people live in, their cultures, their own views. There are several international researchs implemented during the last few decades; however, researchers have not acquired a perfect definition and have not had the consensus of opinions. Some people link happiness to money, material demands; while, others link to emotions, personal relationships, personal achievement. For other one, the word "happiness" has no precise equivalent in some languages, and other complication is satisfaction.

In real life, there are some factors which influence on the way people can achieve happiness such as personal achievements, personal relationships, their cultures, families and work. For example, in western countries, happiness often seems as a reflection of personal achievement, and they seem unhappy when they cannot achieve the most in their own lives. However, in Asia, people acquire happiness when they do not feel inferior or guilty. Nevertheless, if someone cannot have those conditions, it does not mean that they are unhappy, unsatisfied.

In conclusion, the answers for crucial questions about happiness: what happiness is how to achieve it, depend on many different factors.

As much as possible ensure your first sentence is devoid of spelling or grammatic errors. Thinhtvdhtm, iT IS THERE IS NO DOUBT.....and not....There is no double

In line 2 what is happiness should follow with a question mark.

still in Line 2... i WILL analyze the definition of happiness and not.....I will analyze happiness definition

Research as not had a consensus of opinion....and not have not had the consensus of opinions

The third paragraph, In real life, there are some factors which influence the way people ...and not....In real life, there are some factors which influence on the way people.


It is a good attempt but there are a lot of grammatic errors which could have been corrected by simpling reading through again and again.
cheers

The question of how to measure or define it has been a controversial topic since time immemorial.----> That is just an idea I had... not necessarily better, just something tht came to mind.

Many books always agree on one fact about happiness in life, and that is being...

...factors which influence on the way people can achieve happiness, such as personal achievements, personal relationships, their cultures, families and work. For example, in western countries, happiness often seems as a reflection of personal achievement, and westerners seem unhappy when they cannot achieve the most in their own lives.

Your English is not too bad! It is very hard to express yourself clearly in a language with which you are still struggling! You do very well, and you get your point across clearly. If you add a sentence to both the intro and conclusion, you will be adding definition to the whole essay.

Do you want to add a sentence to the intro -- a sentence that will talk about the MEANING of the observation. What is the truth that this reveals?

Thanks a lot Kelvin for taking time out to read my essay and i greatly appreciate your comments.

I will re-written the introduction again- Happiness is an experience people wish to have. How to measure or define it has been controversial from time immemorial. Little wonder we have very few psychological instruments with good validity and reliability which can measure happiness correctly. Also complicating our ability to measure happiness is the varied meaning it has to different people.

Kelvin what do you think? I will also like to write more essays under exam conditions, if you dont mind i will appreciate if you can help me look through them. Thanks

Topic: Nowadays, international tourism is the biggest industry in the world. Unfortunately, international tourism creates tension rather than understanding between people from different cultures.
To what extent do you agree or disagree ?

International tourism is no doubt one of the biggest income earners for many countries in the world today. Apart from providing employment and better infrastructure, it has also helped in fostering better understanding between people from different cultures.

World cultures are merging; tourism has helped the rapid spread of cultures and enabled a better understanding of cultures foreign. This has helped thaw the tension in race relationships. A visiting tourist lives amongst the people, learns their ways and their local languages. He or she begins to understand why they behave in certain ways. For example my friend Tina, who works as an international student consultant, who visited Africa some years back, finds it very easy to understand the African students compared to her other colleagues because she being in Africa as a tourist and understands their ways. Unlike the others who constantly have problems with them and wonder what voodoo she uses to get them to be good friends with her. It is no voodoo it is tourism.

Tourism has brought about exchange of expertise and better understanding between nations. Recently China and Kenya signed a tourism pact. This pact is to help develop and maintain game reserves in Kenya. This pact will see some Kenyan students and workers going to study in China and Chinese engineers and wild life specialist will have to learn local languages in Kenya. This will only foster a better relationship and a deep understanding between these two countries.

Tourism is big business but it no doubt fosters better relationship between countries and people of different races. I think it is unwise for any country to neglect tourism.

...and made possible a better understanding of diverse cultures.

You are doing very well! I think it would be more powerful if you changed to the present verb tense:
Instead of..
This has helped
write:
This helps...
and instead of:
Tourism has brought...
write:
Tourism brings...

The present verb tense is often more powerful.

Some people think that criminals should be given longer terms in prison , so as to reduce the crime rate . To what extent do you agree or disagree

ANSWER

In this age and time when most governments around the world are thinking of de-criminalizing various crimes and ensuring that prison time is short but corrective, some people are suggesting the exact opposite. Various researches reveal, lengthier prison sentences does not lead to a reduction in crime. I agree with this view for the following reasons discussed below.

Long prison sentences harden criminals rather than correct them. A large study done in Ghana two years ago reveals to us that young prisoners who were handed maximum sentences for crimes committed ended up having careers as con-men. This is attributed to learning new tricks and getting bigger connections in prison. Some of them, who were dependent on one hard drug, had become dependent on several at exit. The converse was the case for those with shorter sentences, who were also afforded the opportunity of seeing counsellors and attending community service.

Giving lengthier prison sentences is not cost effective. The state wastes more funds when it hands out longer prison sentences to criminals. This is because a lot of money is spent in keeping them in prison. You have to secure the prison, pay the workers, feed them etc. However when released the state still as to spend money on security of its people because they go back to crime.
A lot of research has shown that it is better to hand out shorter sentences with compulsory counselling sessions.

Giving long sentences to criminals increases crime and makes the state insecure. It not cost-effective for the government or state, no wonder there is a drive the world over towards harm minimization.

You wrote: the state still as to...

Some of them who had been dependent on one hard drug when they arrived became dependent on several by the time they were released.

It not cost-effective for the government or state; it is no wonder there is a drive, the world over, towards harm minimization.

I don't know how to grade it! However, you do not have many errors! Only the ones above, that I corrected. The rest is correct English. Is that what you wanted to know?
