In the novel, Hardwiring Happiness: The New Brain Science of Contentment, Calm, and Confidence (by Rick Hanson): 

Part 1: Please summarize the book's key claims, including the overall arguments and evidence for these claims. You do not need to worry about minor details here; the goal is to give the reader a “birds-eye-view” of the book by highlighting its core ideas and arguments.

 

Part 2: In this section, you must identify two concepts. For each connection that you identify, you are asked to: (1) clearly summarize – in your own words – the relevant concept or research finding; and (2) elaborate on how that concept or research finding is connected or applies to the book, and specifically, how it has informed your understanding of the book.

 

Some concepts are:

The four Psychological Barriers to Happiness;
1) The hedonic treadmill: Does pleasure keep its promise?
2) Negative emotions: Good reasons for bad feelings?
3) Affective asymmetry: Is bad stronger than good?
4) Modern environments: Are we throwing fuel on the fire?

The pursuit of happiness: Paradoxes and Puzzles;
1) Uncertainty and adaptation
2) Satisficing versus maximizing
3) Valuing happiness

 

Four Key Types of Questions
1) Conceptual questions
2) Methodological questions
3) Epistemic questions
4) Philosophical questions



As just one example, if you feel that the concept of the hedonic treadmill is relevant to the book, you can focus on that as one of your two connections. In that case, you would: (1) summarize clearly what the hedonic treadmill is by describing the concept and any relevant supporting details (e.g., concrete examples of the hedonic treadmill and supporting evidence); and (2) elaborate on how the notion of the hedonic treadmill relates to the points expressed in the book. For instance, does the book discuss whether people return to a baseline state of happiness after positive or negative life events?
You may focus on any concepts or research findings in making your two connections. 

 

Part 3: In the next part, you are asked to offer an independent critique and evaluation of the main points within the book. Your critique should focus on at least two of these questions:

(1) Do you find the book’s core arguments and ideas convincing or not, and why?

(2) Does the book ignore or overlook important ideas that should be considered?

(3) If you could make changes to the book, what would you edit and revise, and why?

(4) Do you think the book can guide future research in happiness and meaning, and if so, how?

Which system provides better health care?

Socialism was started as a system to protect the laborer from the economic mechanisms of capitalism. Although it does not allow for citizens to reach the economic heights that they can here in the United States, it also is set up to guarantee that the citizens have certain services available to them at all times.

Consumerism

As you have learned in this section, there are several differences between socialist and capitalist economies. Among the most significant of these differences is the high level of consumerism that exists in capitalist countries. Americans, for example, spend 3 to 4 percent more of their time shopping than Europeans. This consumerism in the United States dates back several decades, when it reached new heights in the mid-twentieth century. The trend even received something of an official sanction in 1953 when Arthur Burns, the Chairman of the Economic Advisors Council under President Eisenhower, said that the American economy’s ultimate purpose is to produce more consumer goods.

Consumerism received a further boost from advertisements on television, a new medium that exploded in popularity in the 1950s. In the decades that followed, television commercials, radio spots, magazines, newspapers, and, in recent years, the Internet bombarded consumers with advertisements for an endless array of products. The average American views 3,000 ads in a single day. These advertisements have proven highly effective at creating a desire among the public to buy goods and services in ever increasing amounts. Economists have estimated that consumer spending accounts for 70% of the U.S. economy.

Go online and research social democracy, including some specific examples of how it works in various countries, and then consider the following discussion questions:

1 What examples, such as health care, social security or employment, can you give that may work better in a socialist nation than a capitalist one? What about in a capitalist nation over a socialist one?

2 Which system do you feel protects the freedoms of the individual better? Given an example.

3 As you prepare for life outside of high school, whether it be a job or college, which economic system would you prefer to be a part of right now? Support your answer.
