Select and describe three influences on happiness and well-being that vary across cultures for your new nation.

Explain why you think these three influences are critical to improving national well-being.

intro

Happiness is a concept which is one of the most difficult in all of psychology to define. Every induvial has different things which make them happy, cultures are the same. Not all large groups of people belong to the same cultures. Any large culture is a collection of smaller groups and cultures, some of which might have vastly long histories, some have a very short history. How much each group depends on each culture depends is also a huge factor in both the individuals in the group and the group itself’ s happy ness factor.

overall Happiness is as difficult to define and describe as love. because of this, discovering a new culture and being able to recommend any type of happiness improvements for the culture will require a huge amount of time and effort. Happiness is like any other x factor concept, the x factor in mathematics is in the very definition “undefinable”, it is not all that different than trying to balance both sides of the HUP concept.

“you can know where an object is, you can know how fast an object is traveling. but you cannot know both of those facts at the same time”. Happiness is as definable as HUP, you can know a few of the details at any one given point, but those details and data will change subject to enumerable amount of different stimulations.

You have to also deal with another aspect of HUP. “An object under observation will be default be changed by that observation”. In essence how someone or a group feel about being observed will change the what they consider to be happiness.

three factors of happiness

what do the individual’s in this culture consider happiness. sub questions, do they find individualism to be a type of happiness, do they find collectivism to be a type of happiness. Example some people are entirely comfortable with whatever the groups decisions are. They are entirely happy and content to do whatever the group decides. From the greatest good to the greatest not good, as long as the group is happy, they are happy. Example Illias Koch was entirely happy with her position and her husband. Despite being in a location some of the people around her were in what can only be described as evil incarnate. She was happy, her follow friends were also very happy.

what definition for happiness does each group define as happiness. Being able for the collective to define happiness, what is happiness for each group, what is the balance between individual happiness and group happiness.

the decenters in the group, some people are only happy when they are causing problems. What form of happiness do people in said group find as dissent.

Select and describe three influences on psychological distress and disorders that vary across cultures for your new nation.

Explain why you think these three influences are especially significant for understanding the nation’s psychological distress.

The human species universally is wired to have the following responses.

Conditioned Response; the easiest example to present what Conditioned Response is the expariments which proved the condition species wide. The Russian researcher Pavlov proved that if he rang a bell before feeding his dogs, his dogs after a while of repeating the bell ring every time he fed them. Every time a bell rang, the dogs would begin to salivate.

consequently when exploring a new culture, the first thing to do is find out what the cultures CR’s are to find out what type of function and structure individuals and the group itself respond to. what Conditions have the individuals and the groups accepted as group A type motivations for modifying beyond. What type B motivations are grey area motivations, and what type C are unacceptable behavior modifications which do achieve the goal but the actions are conditioned either very bad and or acting against most rules of societally acceptable formats.

Operative Conditioning

which lead to stress disorders

which lead to unhappiness disorders which for most people they have no idea why they are unhappy, they just are.
