“Think about what makes individuals in the 21st century happy. Then answer the question; what is happiness and how to people find happiness? Think about what people did or how people would define happiness in the early 1900's. How would the definition or process of finding happiness be similar and/or different in 1915 and 2015?”
Everyone has different personalities, therefore a variety of things can make each person in this world happy or have “happiness”. Making people happy there comes sizes. What I mean by that is that if there's a scene in nature that makes you happy that's a pretty big size considering its nature. Being in the 21st century a simple device that ranges from all different sizes and that fits in your back pocket for some people that’s all the happiness they’ll ever need.
The dictionary states that happiness means “the state of being happy”. Although the dictionary says this I think there’s a more deeper meaning to “happiness” than just being happy. I think that happiness means that whether it's a person or an object that you hold in your hand there's never a dull moment with them, they make you feel loved and wanted. You also feel like there's nothing to break that bond that you share with whatever brings you happiness.
The early 1900’s was an exciting time to live because that’s whenever technology was first created. If you lived in that time period you had to be excited and thrilled because that was a sign “Hey we have machines that will make your life easier in various ways!”. In the 1900’s the life expectancy was around 46 years of age. When electricity was created that meant we could store food longer (have a healthier life). Later on the life expectancy rose dramatically. I would assume that because their not use to all this technology even the tiniest machinery made them happy. For example since population increased trains became invented and made our lives a whole lot easier.
Comparing the two different time periods they don't have as nearly much technology we do today. Being in the 21st century we depend our lives on machines and were so used to using them because we've been using them ever since the 1900’s. I think that it was much easier to find happiness in the 1900’s because they weren't use to all this machines and making their life easier. With us being in the 21st century were waiting for the newest phone or machinery to keep fulfilling our happiness because maybe you want more, and better.
