Happiness:
Happiness is a simple emotion that affects everything people do worldwide. I chose happiness because that's what people seem to crave more than anything. Happiness is something that humans (including Americans) need. It is essential. Whether its power, money, fame, or family, we all have our own opinions on what makes us happy.
When we make goals in life, those goals are meant to make us happy or someone else. People strive for happiness because every action or comment made affects them in some way. Happiness plays a positive role in everyone's life. All other emotions like hate, anger or sadness are driven to because of the obvious lack of happiness. Happiness is all about the positive effects of life and the reasons we need it.
An article on talks about a certain kind of happiness can possibly prevent disease, the kind of happiness that doesn't come from money or online chat rooms. It also talks about how you can be tested for a certain kind of happiness along with physical symptoms. My topic asks about this specific emotion more in depth and seemed the most interesting to me.
