Why? en-us 2019-04-23 16:28:35 UTC 2019-04-23 20:37:56 UTC hello@padlet.com https://imgglb.padletcdn.com/v13/image?t=g_auto&url=https%3A%2F%2Fpadlet.net%2Ficons%2Fpng%2F1f603.png https://padlet.com/alicia_howrey/ybt8spbkfypi/wish/353477926 The higher the GDP per Capita the happier people will be. We believe this because with a higher GDP per Capita people will have more money, leading to purchasing more normal products and they can buy specialty products. Also, with a higher GDP people have less stress about buying necessary things and paying bills. ]]> 2019-04-23 17:50:17 UTC https://padlet.com/alicia_howrey/ybt8spbkfypi/wish/353477926 https://padlet.com/alicia_howrey/ybt8spbkfypi/wish/353479660 BW, KA, AN]]> 2019-04-23 17:53:34 UTC https://padlet.com/alicia_howrey/ybt8spbkfypi/wish/353479660 https://padlet.com/alicia_howrey/ybt8spbkfypi/wish/353479757 There is not a strong correlation between GDP per capita and happiness. Money is not a good indication of happiness because some people value it more than others. GDP per capita does not include certain values which may cause happiness such as relationships. ]]> 2019-04-23 17:53:44 UTC https://padlet.com/alicia_howrey/ybt8spbkfypi/wish/353479757 https://padlet.com/alicia_howrey/ybt8spbkfypi/wish/353481022 We believe that a higher GDP can increase peoples happiness, because people are able to stress less about paying for their homes or phones, and are able to go on vacations to relax. If the GDP is really low people can will find other things to which might increase happiness but could also decrease spending.]]> 2019-04-23 17:56:32 UTC https://padlet.com/alicia_howrey/ybt8spbkfypi/wish/353481022 https://padlet.com/alicia_howrey/ybt8spbkfypi/wish/353482905 We believe that there is no correlation between GDP per capita and level of happiness. The level of happiness cannot be accurately represented on a national scale. Happiness is based off of personality and how you are as a person. You determine whether or not money makes you happy.]]> 2019-04-23 17:59:49 UTC https://padlet.com/alicia_howrey/ybt8spbkfypi/wish/353482905 https://padlet.com/alicia_howrey/ybt8spbkfypi/wish/353483910 As a group, we believe that there definitely is a correlation between the GDP per capita and happiness; however, we are not sure if the correlation has a direct or indirect proportiaonality. There could be a situation where someone is stressed because they do not have enough money; nevertheless, the leading cause of divorce is financials and this may cause someone to be unhappy. ]]> 2019-04-23 18:01:53 UTC https://padlet.com/alicia_howrey/ybt8spbkfypi/wish/353483910 https://padlet.com/alicia_howrey/ybt8spbkfypi/wish/353485236 There is not a strong correlation between GDP per capita and happiness.

GDP per capita does not include certain values which may cause happiness such as relationships. ]]> 2019-04-23 18:04:31 UTC https://padlet.com/alicia_howrey/ybt8spbkfypi/wish/353485236 https://padlet.com/alicia_howrey/ybt8spbkfypi/wish/353485984 A lower GDP per Capita tends to make people happier. This is because a large increase in income for someone who is really wealthy will not likely increase their happiness. However, the same situation for someone with little money will change their life a lot and increase their happiness. Often times, lower income countries don't realize what other countries have and are not as materialistic as people in first world countries. ]]> 2019-04-23 18:06:14 UTC https://padlet.com/alicia_howrey/ybt8spbkfypi/wish/353485984 https://padlet.com/alicia_howrey/ybt8spbkfypi/wish/353486180 People In low GDP countries have the potential for higher happiness ratings even when they do not have as much money. Personal values are not included in GDP, so even the poorest countries could have values that make them just as happy or happier than countries with higher GDPs. Therefore, a higher GDP can potentially create a higher happiness rating, but there are many exceptions. ]]> 2019-04-23 18:06:42 UTC https://padlet.com/alicia_howrey/ybt8spbkfypi/wish/353486180 https://padlet.com/alicia_howrey/ybt8spbkfypi/wish/353487490 We still believe that there is not a strong correlation between GDP per capita and happiness. Money is not the only factor that contributes to a person's overall happiness. In addition, GDP per capita does not take everything into account. ]]> 2019-04-23 18:09:32 UTC https://padlet.com/alicia_howrey/ybt8spbkfypi/wish/353487490 https://padlet.com/alicia_howrey/ybt8spbkfypi/wish/353488202 There has been research done which supports the argument regarding the lack of correlation between GDP per capita and happiness. For example Costa Rica has a low GDP per capita but a high level of happiness. ]]> 2019-04-23 18:11:10 UTC https://padlet.com/alicia_howrey/ybt8spbkfypi/wish/353488202 https://padlet.com/alicia_howrey/ybt8spbkfypi/wish/353488672 Lower GDP per capita can lead to people being happier because they do not define their happiness based on things, their happiness is based off of life and its experiences. ]]> 2019-04-23 18:12:15 UTC https://padlet.com/alicia_howrey/ybt8spbkfypi/wish/353488672 https://padlet.com/alicia_howrey/ybt8spbkfypi/wish/353488862 GDP can change the happiness, but the it is not a good representation of the happiness of a country. Because some people might take values over money or materials. ]]> 2019-04-23 18:12:45 UTC https://padlet.com/alicia_howrey/ybt8spbkfypi/wish/353488862 https://padlet.com/alicia_howrey/ybt8spbkfypi/wish/353490141 After revising the chart, we have realized that there are many exceptions to the idea that there is a direct correlation between the GDP per capita and happiness. We believe that the correlation is that poorer countries are typically happier than wealthier countries. While there are exceptions and in richer countries there may be more availability for physical happiness in the poorer countries there seems to be more overall happiness.]]> 2019-04-23 18:15:30 UTC https://padlet.com/alicia_howrey/ybt8spbkfypi/wish/353490141 https://padlet.com/alicia_howrey/ybt8spbkfypi/wish/353490824 After looking at the chart and re-evaluating our hypothesis we believe that there is still no correlation between GDP per capita and level of happiness. In the beginning it might seem like there is a positive correlation, but as GDP per capita increases we believe the true correlation becomes known, which is no correlation. ]]> 2019-04-23 18:16:53 UTC https://padlet.com/alicia_howrey/ybt8spbkfypi/wish/353490824 https://padlet.com/alicia_howrey/ybt8spbkfypi/wish/353491769 We understand that other factors (such as country size) play a role in a nations overall happiness and GDP per capita. While they may or may not have been taken into consideration into this study, we stick to our idea that there is (no matter how minuscule) a correlation. ]]> 2019-04-23 18:19:01 UTC https://padlet.com/alicia_howrey/ybt8spbkfypi/wish/353491769 https://padlet.com/alicia_howrey/ybt8spbkfypi/wish/353492949 Yes it does seem that people with more happiness come from poorer countries and less happy people come from richer countries, but we still stick to our hypothesis of no correlation. If wealth kept increasing and increasing among all countries we believe there truly wouldn't be any clear correlation and the dots would truly be scattered all over. ]]> 2019-04-23 18:21:43 UTC https://padlet.com/alicia_howrey/ybt8spbkfypi/wish/353492949
