Evaluating the argument

Google Classroom

Why Don’t Better Circumstances Make Us Happier? Evaluate and discuss the argument presented in this video.

At the start of this lesson, you were asked which company you’d most want to work at:

Company A, where you make $50,000, while most of your peers make $40,000.
Company B, where you make $70,000, while most of your peers make $85,000.
Company C, where you make $60,000 and have no clue what your peers earn.

Has this lesson led you to think any differently about your earlier answer?

Yes.
No.
I’m not sure yet.

Discuss the ideas in this lesson with a friend! Compare experiences and think together critically about which aspects of the argument are convincing, which aren’t, and why.

I am not sure whether to change my answer, but I am leaning on not changing it because, though money doesn't make you happy where would you be without it, probably not where you are right now.

I believe better circumstances may not make us happy because better circumstances do not guarantee satisfaction or success.
