The Article “Why Conservatives Are Happier Than Liberals” by Arthur C. Brooks is about who people perceive as happier, Liberals or Conservatives. Scholars have studied this question and have reached an agreement that Conservatives may hold a more happier quality. its clear that in the article the author, much research and many Scholars favor conservatives as being happier about life. for example many Conservatives focus on life style differences such as marriage and faith. There are more conservatives who are married than Liberals and Conservatives who practice faith out number liberals. According to the article 52 percent of married, religious, politically Conservative people (with kids) are very happy versus the 14 percent of single, secular, liberal people without kids. Marriage and Happiness go together. In a Simple explanation, Brooks states that Conservatives just simply don’t pay attention to the misery of others. If they did they wouldn’t be so cheerful. According to Jaime Napier and John West, Psychologists at NYU “Liberals may be less happy than Conservatives because they are less ideologically prepared to rationalize (or explain away) the degree of inequality in society.” Whatever the explanation, Liberals might find this Article depressing.

The article that i read is called “How Happy are you? a Census wants to know”.In the article officials interviewed residents from Somerville, Boston Massachusetts to systematically track peoples happiness. They hope to move beyond traditional measures of success to promote policies of more than just well-being. The census asked many general questions and then there were some personal questions that kind-of made it seem like a personality test. the survey mostly aimed at the citizens aspects of their community and if they think Somerville is a good place to live. Also in the article many Citizens were positive about the survey because the city was getting attention and they were glad the city used 21st century tools to get a feel for what people want. Somerville officials hope to create a well-being index to incorporate a whole new method of gaining peoples opinions and satisfaction in their community.

By definition happiness is a mental of emotional state of well being. Anything can make you happy, food, toys, technology, someone famous or watching a favorite movie.
For me, what makes me happy is surrounding myself with positive people and being around my family and friends and just having a fun time with them. thats what makes me happy. as long you live a positive life you will be happy
