How can we determine whether a country is a ‘happy’ country? First, we must ask: how abundant is their economy? How reliable is the government? Are the citizens well-educated, do they have a sense of freedom, are they safe and secure? In order to answer these questions, I have surveyed people from a range of countries, including Australia, New Zealand, Canada, USA, Finland, the Netherlands, Switzerland , Ireland and Brazil. When I picture Brazil i see Paradise and Jungle and that people in Brazil are always happy and friendly.
I choose to look at these countries because they have democratic governments, relatively small populations, personal freedoms and their governments collect taxes in order to provide many benefits to their citizens. It should be noted that some of these countries are multicultural – that is, they include a diverse mix of different cultures and ethnicities, such as the USA and Canada – while other countries are homogenous (in other words, most of the population have similar backgrounds).
I would considered India as one of the happiest people, and country when you of think India you think about Bollywood - vivid colors, exotica, music, beautiful women and the graceful body movements. People were dancing, celebrating, worry-free from young people to older generation it doesnt matter if you are rich or poor. India is one of the fastest growing economies in the world.
The Philippines can also be considered as a happy country. The factors involved in gauging the happiness of the Filipinos included average life expectancy, quality of life, and environmental track record. Although the Filipinos are perhaps not satisfied with the politics and economics of their country, they can be considered as generally happy people. You see, happiness is not all about money – spirituality plays a very important in Filipino culture, and this almost certainly allows them positivity in the face of any financial issues.
To conclude, happiness does not completely rely on abundance of money, good education, or great jobs. A country can still be happy if all they have is hope – a belief that life will get better, that the future will be brighter. Of course, this also means that rich countries are not necessarily happy, for the people of a country may still feel directionless and unsafe despite monetary security. What do you think makes people happy? Are people happy in your country? Why or why not?
