Essay #2 Pursuing, Understanding, and Achieving Happiness"},"content":{"rendered":"<style type=\"text\/css\"><\/style><h4>Is it possible for a person to achieve lifelong, enduring happiness, and if not, why?<br \/>\nEssay #2 Pursuing, Understanding, and Achieving Happiness<\/h4>\n<p>Assignment Description:<br \/>\nUsing the Ted Talks and reading assigned to this unit (see below), as well as your own personal experience and independent research, write a persuasive essay about happiness with a \u201cprovable\u201d thesis. Below is a sampling of research questions that you might explore. Note that your thesis will be the answer to your research question.<br \/>\nIs it possible for a person to achieve lifelong, enduring happiness, and if not, why?<br \/>\nIs it possible for a person to achieve lifelong, enduring happiness, and if so, then how?<br \/>\nIs happiness something that human beings have control over?<br \/>\nCan we synthesize our own happiness?<br \/>\nIs there a difference between \u201csynthetic\u201d happiness and \u201cnatural\u201d happiness, and if so, is one superior to the other? (see Gilbert)<br \/>\nAre we responsible for our own personal happiness by maintaining a \u201cpositive mental attitude,\u201d as popular psychology suggests, or do issues such as poverty and social inequities play a larger role? (see Ehrenreich) \u00b7 Can happiness lead to greater physical health, or does greater physical health simply lead to happiness?<br \/>\nShould trying to enable people\u2019s happiness be a goal of a society? If so, what should governments and other institutions do?<br \/>\nWhat is the role of relationships, financial status, education, health, freedom of expression, career, and\/or other factors in a person\u2019s personal happiness (hint: you don\u2019t have to include them all)<br \/>\nYou must quote and paraphrase at least one and up to three of the following Ted Talks\/Essays in your paper.<br \/>\nTed Talk by Robert Waldinger, \u201cWhat Makes a Good Life? Lessons from the Longest Study on Happiness\u201d \u00b7 Ted Talk by Michael Norton, \u201cHow to Buy Happiness<br \/>\nTed Talk by Dan Gilbert, \u201cThe Surprising Science of Happiness\u201d<br \/>\nArticle by Barbara Ehrenreich, \u201cPositive Psychology: The Science of Happiness\u201d<br \/>\nIn addition, you must use a minimum of ONE, and maximum of TWO outside source that you research on your own. The source must be considered \u201creliable,\u201d either from a respected newspaper, online magazine, scholarly journal, or professional organization that has expertise in your topic. NO BOOKS! (I\u2019ll explain why in class.)<br \/>\nYou may also use personal examples and observations, but the bulk of your essay should be material you glean from the above readings and your research, which you will paraphrase and quote.<br \/>\nImportant note: You are required to visit The Writing Center to receive in-person feedback on your Essay #2. You may do this at any point in the writing process: brainstorming, developing a thesis, organizing your essay, reviewing your rough draft or final draft. You should decide at what point you want help, and make your appointment at an appropriate time.<br \/>\nIn order to earn a C or above, your essay should include the following:<br \/>\nA minimum of 1,000 words.<br \/>\nProper APA formatting, including APA in-text citations and References page.<br \/>\nProper APA in-text citations for all paraphrases and direct quotations from the article.<br \/>\nAn introduction that sets up your argument.<br \/>\nEffectively organized paragraphs with strong topic sentences and transitions.<br \/>\nA conclusion that does not merely restate your thesis but that leaves the reader with further \u2018food for thought.\u2019 \u00b7 A References page in correct APA format (which does NOT count towards your page minimum).<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/onlineclassesguru.com\/orders\/ordernow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com\/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTyj99p60XCLyLk1htB7-1neRt8-2QdnenNlQ&usqp=CAU\"target=\"_http:\/\/onlineclassesguru.com\/orders\/ordernow\"\/><\/center><p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is it possible for a person to achieve lifelong, enduring happiness, and if not, why?
