"The Pursuit of ...Taking issue with statement:<br />"The Pursuit of Happiness is an Unalienable Right granted to all human beings, .."<br /><br />Unalienable, as stated, would be related to the Declaration of Independence, while the United Nations uses inalienable. The UN Bill of Human Rights, where the pursuit of happiness is considered a human right, is a customary international law that has no enforcement (punishment) of the law. This does not mention the issues related to non-member states, including both those with or without Observer status. <br /><br />Depending on the construct and following of an individuals State's law (or perhaps other united member States, such as the EU) there may or may not be a legal remedy for when the 'pursuit' of happiness is withheld. Granted without enforcement is no guarantee. And pursuit itself does not equate with obtainment. I wish this statement was not used to attempt to make your point, as so many people are already confused as to what are human rights (and what those rights mean).

Many list off friends, family and accomplishments, but is it true happiness. And after research can guess where happiness, the emotion lies in the brain. But after reading this I agree with Nicole, it seems to that the location of where Happiness actually occurs in the brain is still up in the air. I can see a picture of a smiling person and perhaps that makes me feel happy because that person in the photo reminds me of someone else or just because a smile is contagious. But if it reminds you of a person then triggers memories are then triggered and brought up. I personally believe there could be more than one part of the brain that contributes to someone feeling happy. Also, aren't there different levels of happiness? I know for me I can go from just plain old happy to beyond excited to the point where my happiness is beyond words. That just seems like too much happiness for one part of the brain to handle to me. Are there different parts of the brain responsible for the different forms of happiness? This just brought up more questions, and not really many answers for it.JP219543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21605329.post-27728490275485055892015-11-29T12:04:38.205-08:002015-11-29T12:04:38.205-08:00After reading this it seems to me that the locatio...After reading this it seems to me that the location of where Happiness happens in the brain is still up in the air. Were the German men truly happy looking at photos of people smiling? I can see a picture of a smiling person and perhaps that makes me feel happy because that person in the photo reminds me of someone else. This then triggers the part of my brain that holds memories. So this makes me think that there could be more than one part of the brain the “controls” someone’s happiness. Also what about levels of happiness? Do all levels happen in one specific part of the brain, for instance like when you’re extremely happy (such as a birth of a child). Are there different parts of the brain responsible for that? These studies only brought about more questions in my opinion. Nicole Edwardsnoreply@blogger.com
