READING - ALPHA 4 (1)

Dear students of Alpha 4,

This week, we have read on happiness and unhappiness. What do you think about them? Is being happy or unhappy inherited? And, Are you a happy or an unhappy person?

All the best…

  1. Happiness is one of the most special things in the world. We can say: people live for happiness. I want find asking: How can we happy? It’s change person to person. Maybe one teddy bear, maybe Ferrari. Actually we protect our own because babies die for be hungry in Africa for this reason we have to learn happiness with own. All intents and purposes we work for better life. Sometimes people can’t realize other people because they are always busy. I don’t care. I always try to be happy.

  2. I think, happiness isn't being inherited. If you have got happy family ,you can be happy. Maybe have you got a happy friends , they are happy person, you should be happy , you can cheew. On the other hand unhappiness is not inherited.Your life was bad, you musn't be happy because of this.Maybe you haven't got what you want, if people erand you are not cheewing , life is be dark for you .I think , I am a happy . I do not know ,but I am cheewing everyday.My family are happy people and also my friends,I am be happiness because of this. I do not like my occupation ,but I can be habby for this. Everythings are nice, life is good. Do not worry be happy my life styl , I am happy because of this.

  3. The text includes the paradox about happiness. Before I read the text, I had thought that happiness and unhappiness are totally antagonistic things, so if one of them rises, the other falls, but in the text it is said that there is a little connection between the two. It is really mesmeric for me to learn that the genetic factors affect the level of unhappiness, but happiness is a talent and it is no one's heritage. There are also results of some research which is practised on people, especially twins. In my point of view, if the topic which comes into question is about emotion, there cannot be a realistic and exact result. I have to state that I support the opinion which says that happiness is a talent, because if a person wants to do it, it is easy to make himself or herself happy. On the other hand, that happiness is directly related to the heritage is found strange to me. Why is not it possible to transfer happiness by genes? There are also some informations about the levels of happiness and happiness. If we can increase the level of happiness by doing activities which we enjoy ourselves while we are doing, the flap side is also possible. Even I do not agree with the author about some opinions which I mentioned, I like this text.

  4. Happiness and sadness are combined.If there was no sadness,we would not recognise our happiness.I think happiness or sadness isn't inherited,because it is a just feelings.Anyonelse doesn't want to be happy or sad everytime.I am happy person but sometimes ı feel sad ,angry.Life is changeable and we don't think these idea.

  5. Happines and unhappiness are coexcited different situtations.Happiness is instant that can feel good by person.Unhappiness is something like that sadness.For example,crying person is unhappiness,but laughing person is happiness.They connect each other but they do not live in same time.For example,student who pass the class occurs happiness.He never occur unhappiness.Being happiness or unhappiness can change such as time from person to person.This emotions releat two traits.First is genes.For example,identical twins were much closer than fraternal twins in unhappiness,so this situtaion implies abouth genes.Second is environment.For example,If family is unhappiness,child can influence this situtation.Maybe child can be unhappiness forward times.Briefly,whatever the people should be happy.

  6. In my opinion, both are not inherited. To give an example, if you have happy friends, happy family or happy environment at the time you will be happy. Because not any reason for you will be unhappy. But if you have bed friends, problem family or a terrible environment then only then you possible be unhappy. Also you may find it yourself as long as you seek it all the time. And me. I'm a cheerful person because being unhappy fit for nothing. Sometime I am dissatisfied but I say myself everything going to be okey and I will be relax. I think you can do this just try it...

  7. We read ‘The Paradox of Happiness’ last week. My opinion of this reading text is some good. You say ‘why’ I think this reading text didn’t attracted my interest.İf we come to the text, the text is about happiness and unhappiness.there are many information of research in this text.So I was bored while I was reading the text. I think being happy and unhappy are inherited.because genes are important for people. I learned something from this text .For example I learned about genes is related to happiness.I think being happy and unhappy are inherited.because genes are important for people. I would like to ask the author ‘’ Why wrote you the text? I wonder answer of this question. All in all that ı learned that happiness and unhappiness are emotion.They are always pieces of people .they never don’t leave from people .And always I should be happy you should be happy. we should be happy…
    see you later at the same place,same time(maybe) :)

  8. I think , both of them are possible . Let me say example , actually bad example , if your grandmother or grandfather dies , you are unhappy but you think from within about heritage if it is huge heritage ... Other question : Everything is possibly about we read story. And I'm generally happy person . A lot people say "why you are not happy " but I dont. Actually , I bored immediately just... We must try be very very happy if we think " The world is what you think it is " and we can do what we want ..

  9. In my opinion, unhappiness is inherited but happiness is not. There is a genetic component to unhappiness. For example, sometimes, people can want to be happy. They enviroment can cause for they can be unhappy. However, I have a happy family. Therefore, I'm happy and I'm lucky. Generally, I prefer to be happy. However, sometimes I can be unhappy because of some cause, but this unhappiness is not notice someone. Therefore, generally, I prefer to be happy and joyful....
