National Happiness

To measure the overall happiness and health of a nation is a big mistake to commit. The economy has many small details, and we cannot ignore them. Therefore, if we were to judge a nation's happiness and health, we would have to determine it through smaller sects (such as gender, age, how much income one makes, etc.). To judge a nation's happiness reflects off many factors of any individual's life, as we are all unique and lead very different lives. But on the other hand, the only factors that affects a nation's health is healthcare plans, advances in medical research, and only a few more factors. When it comes to material things, people are in love with the feelings that they bring, generating a lot of happiness in this person. Also, when it comes to the advertising of something as unhealthy as cigarettes, drugs, and alcohol, the national health decreases as it should not be publicized in the first place. These items are one of the many items that should not be publicized as it does affect the health of hundreds of thousands of people nationwide. Publication such as movies and commercials depict these items as the norm, and could hurts the health of our nation. There are many things that the United States of America could do to increase both the national health and happiness of its citizens. Dozens of x factors can be approved on, and once all of these different divisions' happiness and health are at an all time high, then the nation can be judged as a whole.
