The Geography of Happy People

                                             The Geography of Happy People

In my experience, the study of people being happy is a seriously interesting subject. I'm not the only one who thinks that, obviously- people have been studying happiness in all different ways for years. It's a complex subject. Now I don't have the technology or scientific mind to study the deepest depths of happiness, but I can ask people I know what happiness means to them and where their happiness- if they are- comes from. To me, the subject is endlessly fascinating because so many people find happiness in different things and different places, no matter what their age, race, sex, religion or location. 

For example: 

Jack, 9: Playing with my friends
Leah, 16: Justin Bieber, my friends 
Reece, 15: My dog, winning with my team 
Johannah, 15: Music, make up
David, 16: Food
Lauryn, 19: Chocolate, my bed 
Catriona, 50: My Horses
Emma, 15: Sleeping, laughing
Niamh, 15: People smiling

The beauty of people being happy is that everyone is different, and while lots of people are happy about the same things, there's always different reasons why, and the feeling is contagious. So whether food or animals or other people's happiness makes you happy, it's a wonderful feeling and, like happy people, can be found anywhere- all you have to do is look.

The exact geography of happy people- everywhere

Introduction

Hi,
My name is Emma and this is my blog, based around the Geography of People. I am a transition year student and this is my environmental studies project, focusing on people. I picked this topic because I think people are one of Earth's most interesting things to study, and are often overlooked with the discovery of new science, new plants, and new technology. With the search for new life in Space, it is easy to forget the ''old'' life here on Earth. That's why my blog is dedicated to people, and the power of people!


Enjoy!
