Thinking Critically about Happiness Questionnaires

1- I think that if people will use these date collection tools honestly, they will be valid scientific tools. Otherwise people can lie about their feelings, the results of these scientific studies will be false. Moreover, i believe that people cannot explain their feelings but they can show them. So i think that this is not valid way to find out if people are happy or not.

2- I believe that if I did the online survey again, my results will be different because I think these kind of surveys do not show our feeling in long period of time. But it show our feelings at the moment. So I do not think that scientists should do these kind of surveys to see if people are happy in their life or not.

3- I think the second way to find out people's happiness is better for a large group of people because everything can be done automatically by using computers. But they should make studies on the questions to make it easy to people to answer honestly. This way is better and easier.

Thank You.

Female and Male :D

The first statement I have changed my mind about it, is that women speak more than men do. In the past I thought this is the true because I can see that women always talk all the time specially on the phone, they can spend hours only talking. But, after this unit I have read and listened to many evidences that changed my point of view. The first evidence is the study that done by Tannen to see who speak more during the meetings in the workplace. The results of the study surprised me because of the big deference in the speaking time between men and women. The longest speaking for a woman was shorter that shortest speaking for a man. These results completely changed my opinion 180 degree.

Happiness !

Happiness can be defined as a state of feeling can be effected by many different things in person's life. Each person has his own things that can effect his life, it is depending on the personality. In addition to the personality the happiness can appear on a person because of the genes. For me, there are several things make me happy. For example, when I do any work i have to do well. This thing make me feel comfortable, so when I feel comfortable, I feel happy. That's mean, i feel happy with everything make me comfortable. Although this thing is works well with my personality, it might not works the same level with other people. So each person must know what make him/her happy. My level of happiness has changed since I moved to Canada, because everything has changed. Moreover, I don't feel comfortable in the same level when I was in my country. Also, missing my family and friends make me less happy then in the past. There are no secrets of happiness, everyone know how to make him self happy.

Thanks All ,,,

My Research !

I'm thinking about two topics to write about, these two topics I'm interested in, that's why I think I'll do well in these two topics. My first topic is about Fresh Water Crisis, which is about the water problems in the world and which areas in the world have huge resources of water and which areas have shortage. I thought about this topic after I read many articles about it. The second topic is about Apple Company. I'm interested in this topic because they have a very good strategies to sell their own products and how they develop their own company to reach the top place among other companies. However, between these two topics I think I'll write about the water crisis, because everyone would like to know about the water in our world.

These are some questions that will be discuss in the research:

1- What is the water crisis ?
2- How much do people consume water and how much do they need ?
3- What are the sources of the water ?
4- What is the future of the water in the world ?
5- What are the solutions of fresh water crisis ?

Thanks All ,, Nasser
