Many studies have been done to determine whether or not money can really buy happiness. In the video, "Can Money Really Buy Happiness," it states that, "Some studies have shown that in North America, additional income beyond $75,000 a year ceases to impact day-to-day happiness." Spending money on "many small frequent pleasures help to get you through the days and encourage change." This indicates that regularly being rewarded is better than just having piles of money. In the video, it also says to "try to go after experiences, as opposed to material things." This proves the importance of experiences over just buying things. In conclusion, despite the fact that money is important, friendships and close connections are really the most valuable things to possess.

The search for treasures from the depths of Earth are never ending. In "La Rinconada," the author writes, "All about, for as far as the eye could see, was a crazed landscape. What was once a region of sparkling lakes, leaping fish, and grassland is now a barren world that beggars the imagination." This shows the juxtaposition between the hunt for gold, and the devastating impact this has on the environment. ...  In conclusion, people will do anything for precious treasures. ]]> 2021-03-04 14:56:07 UTC https://padlet.com/cooperdanielle773/9l9ovdsg858nav92/wish/1269352659 Tia Davis https://padlet.com/cooperdanielle773/9l9ovdsg858nav92/wish/1274792927 Although money is valuable it can not buy happiness. Money is what buys us satisfaction. This satisfaction is only temporary though. When people buy new items they start off happy or excited but as days go by that happiness fades away. People work to earn money and spend it on items. This money that we have doesn't always make us happiest. The money that we earn is used to buy things and satisfy us for the moment. People work to make money and gain happiness but some say that money cannot buy us happiness. It only buys us satisfaction.]]> 2021-03-05 17:48:21 UTC https://padlet.com/cooperdanielle773/9l9ovdsg858nav92/wish/1274792927 Elijah Bailey https://padlet.com/cooperdanielle773/9l9ovdsg858nav92/wish/1274793168 Emotion is strange and it can alter many things. It adds meaning to items. Emotion is brought upon by something much more complex and strange. That is consciousness we do not understand nearly close to what we think we do. We can't even figure out what is the cause of this very strange state. Value is caused by an emotion to want. From there it branches to different emotions. I will explain these emotions combine to make up value in my terms and known knowledge. What is valuable? Is it a form of currency or is it something much deeper such as the emotion of happiness?]]> 2021-03-05 17:48:24 UTC https://padlet.com/cooperdanielle773/9l9ovdsg858nav92/wish/1274793168 Shauntazay McMurray https://padlet.com/cooperdanielle773/9l9ovdsg858nav92/wish/1274794233 Happiness can be like money, it can come and go not really promise.

One of the ways can be making friends with new people. Another way is having relationships with other people. Friends are more important then money because friends last longer then money. Relationships make people happy by having someone to talk and to teach you new things. Money is not every thing because if it was then someone would just want more and might become greedy. Happiness in life can come by making new friends and new relationships and it is not all about money.]]> 2021-03-05 17:48:39 UTC https://padlet.com/cooperdanielle773/9l9ovdsg858nav92/wish/1274794407 Marquise McDowell https://padlet.com/cooperdanielle773/9l9ovdsg858nav92/wish/1274794583 What makes a treasure valuable is the importance it has to someone. Meaning the dedication or what someone's willing to go through to get it. ]]> 2021-03-05 17:48:41 UTC https://padlet.com/cooperdanielle773/9l9ovdsg858nav92/wish/1274794583 Marcial Perez https://padlet.com/cooperdanielle773/9l9ovdsg858nav92/wish/1274794728 Cars are beautiful because they allow you to escape.

People can have all the money in the world and still be be unhappy. Money can bring out the worst in people. Money doesn't create happiness being around loved ones does. Money can buy you everything in the world except happiness, happiness comes from the joys of the world and how you choose to live your life. Happiness comes from spending time with loved ones and family because one never knows when this will end. Money is only for materialistic things, the happiness you get from enjoying the world can outweigh that.  Happiness can't be bought it can only be obtained through genuine love for something.]]> 2021-03-05 17:48:45 UTC https://padlet.com/cooperdanielle773/9l9ovdsg858nav92/wish/1274794930 https://padlet.com/cooperdanielle773/9l9ovdsg858nav92/wish/1274797324 Jolette Villanueva

As stated in the song "Money" by O'Jays it says "For the love of money
People will steal from their mother
For the love of money
People will rob their own brother" which really shows that people will do anything for money, even if it effects their loved ones.

As the song by the O'Jays, "Money" states, "Money can change people sometimes." This means that no matter what the circumstance, money can either make or break a person. People love money because it makes them happy. Second, people love money because it promises a good standard of living. Finally, people love money because it supports their financial responsibilities. People love money because it is the most valuable thing in the world.]]> 2021-03-05 18:04:32 UTC https://padlet.com/cooperdanielle773/9l9ovdsg858nav92/wish/1274870121 Daniela lozano https://padlet.com/cooperdanielle773/9l9ovdsg858nav92/wish/1274931868 Are you happy in life ? Are you looking for happiness?
Happiness is something that make you feel happily emotional, being happy it’s the best thing that can happened to a human. People can be emotional happy by something material but material stuff is just temporary. There’s so much more of life to be happy about then something material. ]]> 2021-03-05 18:17:36 UTC https://padlet.com/cooperdanielle773/9l9ovdsg858nav92/wish/1274931868 Benjamin Barden. https://padlet.com/cooperdanielle773/9l9ovdsg858nav92/wish/1275236906 One can go through life with all the money in the world and still experience a lack of happiness. Happiness is not through how much money one has but with family and loved ones they spend their time with.
There are many downsides of having money. For example never being satisfied, or using money on bad or harmful things, like drugs for example.
Just like the song Money by the O'Jays say." For the love of money
People will steal from their mother
For the love of money
People will rob their own brother
For the love of money
People can't even walk the street
Because they never know who in the world they're gonna beat
For that lean, mean, mean green
Almighty dollar."
Having money or material things can only temporarily make someone happy. Like for example, if somebody just had a bad breakup. So they decide to buy a car. While yes That would make them happy, it would also only be temporarily.
Certain non material things that will make you happy. For example spending time with family or talking to friends, or even spending time with pets if you have any.

Happiness is important because we think in a positive and creative way . As we become positive we can come up with creative solutions to a variety of problems. By doing this we are also able to open to new experiences which help us learn new things. Also we are going to be able to help others in the future but first we help ourselves. When we are happy and are creative we become better artists within each other.

Its also important to be be happy because we can have a better mental health than others and we don't get sick easily. When we are happy we have fewer symptoms related to mental diseases like anxiety , social phobia, and depression. Also we are less likely to have a history of drug abuse. Additionally, the goal of good times is to make the most of good times.

Finally, being a happy person typical makes us a prosocial which means we get a higher chance of being nice to others. This is really strong because we have a strong link with our community, Which means higher participation in volunteering than unhappy friends . Finally, happy people share their good vibes. I like to think that happy people make the world a better place.

In conclusion, being happy is extremely vital to our own goals in life and can help us achieve many other cherished personal ambitions and goals. ]]> 2021-03-05 19:26:24 UTC https://padlet.com/cooperdanielle773/9l9ovdsg858nav92/wish/1275256674 Emiliano M https://padlet.com/cooperdanielle773/9l9ovdsg858nav92/wish/1275262256 Money is important cause how else will you get what you want.]]> 2021-03-05 19:27:43 UTC https://padlet.com/cooperdanielle773/9l9ovdsg858nav92/wish/1275262256 Ezail Walker cooperdanielle773 https://padlet.com/cooperdanielle773/9l9ovdsg858nav92/wish/1275273832 People say money is the root of all evil, but what if I were to tell you that that not exactly all true. See money is a lifestyle, money helps support families.

Not every family is rich and can afford everything some families are what the government call section 8. Textual evidence supports that "4.7 million residents live in section 8 housing  that's 30 to 40% of the economy that need government assistance". The evidence supports that not every family in the US has the financial stability so they need more money to help and support their families.

Money also helps support schools and free education to children in economy that may or may not need it which helps families, "10% of your taxes go to pay and keep schools up and running alone" The evidence provided shows is money really the root of all evil ?Giving children free education with American tax dollars providing a help for people that wouldn't be able to pay for there children to go to school.

Families need money, "without money you cant pay for  mortgage, rent, food, clothing, bills and A study shows that low income can negatively affect a Childs future in a negative way." Families need money to operate in this world.

In conclusion, some families need money more than ever with children and bills with food times get tuff and without money people cannot function without it, because "money makes the world go round ."

Art can evoke a lot of emotions in you and one of those emotions is curiosity and open mindedness.
Beautiful as they are, though not many people consider it art, are snake morphs. Many people are very afraid of snakes but a beautiful snake can make someone truly happy and admire it.
Snakes are mysterious creatures that people are scared of but once you come across a snake that catches your eye there is truly nothing that can make you happier.
Snakes are a form of art and living jewelry that many people are afraid of but once you take a closer look can change your whole view on them.]]> 2021-03-05 19:43:53 UTC https://padlet.com/cooperdanielle773/9l9ovdsg858nav92/wish/1275331315 JaQuan Hodges https://padlet.com/cooperdanielle773/9l9ovdsg858nav92/wish/1275415843 Money is valuable but it cannot buy us happiness . Money just gets us things that we want or we think its cool but when you first get it it'll seem cool but a few days later them wouldn't be as fun to use anymore .  The money we earned is only used to get things to keep us occupied and to pay bills and I know having to pay bills doesn't make people happy because it can be very stressful.

As the song “Money” by the O’Jays states, “Money can change people some times.” “For the love of money, people will steal from their mother, for the love of money, people will rob their own brother.” This means that money can either create or tear apart a person. Firstly, money is not a permanent satisfaction, but happiness from another can.
Secondly, money can’t fix a mental stability, but happiness from something or someone can. 
Lastly, Money isn’t the most valuable thing, a persons happiness and love to someone is valuable.
Happiness can come from the intimacy of one another, whether it be family, friends, or a significant other. It better to have love than money because money can’t buy love or happiness.]]> 2021-03-05 20:11:35 UTC https://padlet.com/cooperdanielle773/9l9ovdsg858nav92/wish/1275432652 Jaime Lima https://padlet.com/cooperdanielle773/9l9ovdsg858nav92/wish/1279183991 money can help people with anything they want to get whether is good or bad because sometimes people use money to buy things that are harmful for their body  such as drugs or for the harming of others that's why there is saying that states   "money is the root of all evil ".
But money also helps people with their necessities  because people need things such as clothes , food, a car for going to work or going to buy the groceries those are the examples of necessities a person have  in a everyday life but sometimes when a person has what they really need , they want even more because they think that they are going to feel any better .
people would get corrupted by money when i said that people get corrupted i mean that people change in a certain way like they would act differently than they would usually act , they would say things to their friends like making them feel less because you have something that they don't have and they can't afford.
That's why those type of people that change in a bad way after they become successful or have money they would start to lose people just like they lost their modesty towards other people , because people start to notice how their change  from where they met until then  and that's why would start to lose respect for that person because  they being treated bad due to the change on that person . 
in conclusion  we can see that people can help with their necessities , but also money can change people in a bad  way but it all dependens  on who  gets the money because sometimes people get money and they would use it to harm them selves or even to harm other people because sometimes people would not lose their modesty towards other people but other people would lose it because they have money so they think that they don’t need   anybody to be happy they  just want material things because they think they are going to feel better with those things .
