After a brief talk on how to improve our class notes by Professor Belli, we first talked about what we discussed in our Human Services class on wednesday. Anna proceeded to explain that we talked about scenarios when we use our human services ethics in order to deal with clients. Followed by this, Professor Belli asked the class if we started to see connections between our human services class and english. Arlene mentioned that we are learning how we can make others and ourselves happy. Furthermore, Marie asked an interesting question “ how do you know your soul is happy?” which Professor Belli responded by making a connection to Socrates who thinks that soul and body are separate. Therefore, there are different means on how to make your soul happy, contrasted to Maslow’s belief in basic needs for happiness of the body.

When the previous discussion finished we continued to talk about the Mayoral Victory speech of Bill De Blasio. Kelsey mentioned that De Blasio uses pathos when he talks about the tragedy of 9/11 in minute 9:15. He uses this tragedy in order to show the public that he has sympathy for the community and the city. Continuously, Professor Belli explained that pathos can be manipulative because they strike the emotions of people.

Moreover, we talked about “The tale of two cities” that De Blasio was referring to. By this statement, De Blasio was referring to the fact that there are a big group of poor people and a small group of rich ones. He mentions that he doesn’t want anyone to be left behind. Hence, Jacob made an inference from De Blasio’s speech: people should stop thinking about themselves and instead unify the community. Therefore, we concluded that De Blasio was promoting patriotism to the audience.

Furthermore, we went back in the video where De Blasio’s daughter Chiara speaks before his father. We concluded that she was using ethos when she spoke because she was appealing to the character of his father. Her words can be considered extremely credible due to the fact that she is De Blasio’s daughter. Since she talks from first experience, the audience can believe that what De Blasio is promising will be true. After this, Professor Belli showed us one more example where De Blasio uses ethos through his son Dante for his campaign. It was a commercial where Dante appears as a 15 year old boy who lives in Brooklyn, this video focused in appealing to De Blasio’s character by mentioning his goals for the community. Hence, Dante’s skin color, age, and place where he appears to live appeal to the audience De Blasio is targeting: the credibility of the commercial is very high.

Followed by this, we continued to talk about Joe Lhota’s speech. Brandon mentioned the difference of how De Blasio and Lhota talk about the Stop & Frisk program. De Blasio wants it to be removed due to the racial profiling that has been occurring, and Lhota wants to keep supporting it because it has supposedly decreased the crime rate by 75%. We wrapped up the discussion about the speeches and proceeded to talk a little about the article “ Why Conservatives Are Happier Than Liberals” by Arthur C. Brooks. We started to talk about how the article is counter intuitive because it mentions that conservatives are happier than liberals. The conclusion of this statement is because conservatives who are married and religious tend to be more happy according to statistics. Moreover, the class concluded that since conservatives are narrow minded it keeps them happier or at least content because they don’t wonder about many other possibilities or perspectives there are in life.

There is NO homework. Except, to review the article and be prepared for next class. However, Professor Belli said to keep an eye on the homework schedule this week just in case.

I hope this is not too much to read, I tried to make it as simple as possible… if anyone has any questions don’t hesitate to ask me through message in openlab ! 🙂

Conservative vs Liberals

In the article “Why Conservatives Are happier Than Liberals“by Arthur C.Brooks states the difference between who are happier liberals or conservatives? And research found that conservatives are happier about their lives because censuses summed up the more who were married, religious and had a family were happier than liberals who are not and didn’t have kids.

Something Brooks points out is that people, who are married combine with people who are happy and their relationship, go together and if one is married and the other is not the married person will be 18 percent more likely to say he/she is happier than the unmarried person (paragraph 3). Brooks is explaining that couples or people in general who are married have a better increase chance of being happier because they’re with their soul mate and is more able to be more open with someone and have more support.

On the other hand Brooks compared the task of a liberal and a conservative. Conservative are more about being in a positive spirit and they are inattentive of negativity or what goes around them that doesn’t matter, they don’t get involved because conservatives are more likely to be spirited and religious. As for liberals they are less happy than conservatives because they are more about justice, unlike conservative they don’t recognize injustice which is why they are happier. Liberals believe that people in society are more dependable on government rather than conservatives they believed in hard work and dedication, if a person wants something they should work for it instead of being dependent on government when a person should get it for them.

However, according to a study from the University of Florida Barry Schlenker and John Chambers and the University of Toronto psychologist Bonnie Le studied suggested that liberals not only were for justice, but believed in what was right, fair and wanted to improve things in the society whether it dealt with economic, wealth, or equality. Unlike conservatives situations that concerned liberals doesn’t bother conservatives as much. In fact research stated “Why Conservatives Are happier Than Liberals“that what if the roles were reversed and conservatives felt as Liberals did, and liberal felt as conservatives did. Conservatives would be fine with the changes, but on the other hand liberals would try to avoid it and would think it would be a silly idea.

Not only did a study thought about the opposite, but they also focused on moderates versus extremist. A moderate is more of a liberal and an extremist is more as a conservative. However extremist are happier than moderate people because the percentage of happiest is also known as “extremely conservative” which is known as extremist. Brooks’s states that based on study extremist have their world figured out, and are more analytical about their surroundings and people they deal with which researched states they are known as “happy warriors”. As for moderate they are more based on now and don’t know what to expect next.

Lastly Brooks broke down the difference between conservative and liberal people, then noticed another political gap that can compare moderate versus extremist both had the same meanings, but had s different idea. Overall the more people who were happier were the ones who were religious, family based and focused on what’s important, rather than people who worried about things that are less likely important.
