Research Blog #11: The Case

The case for my project is the argument of whether or not money equals happiness because from research i have found, the researchers seem to define happiness as money. Some, like the Kent Swift that i mentioned in my last post, feel that money cannot buy happiness and that it is more of what you do in life and who you do things with throughout your life that makes you happy. They believe that there is much more to life and what makes a person happy other than just some large amount of money. On the other hand, other researchers think that if you don't focus on your academics in college that you will not be happy. The reason for this is that if you don't do well in school then you won't get a good, well paying job in the future where you can make lots of money and in the end that will make you happy. If this were the case for the way you want to live your life, that then it would actually be more self-actualizing for you to study all the time and focusing on your schoolwork. Some ways of socialization may even be against a person's well being, and with this it is more important to them to pay less attention to the college life. From information I have found, there is a lot of research supporting both sides of the argument, ultimately creating one case for my paper.
