The population in the world

#1-Are you optimistic or pessimistic about the future in terms of in terms of population? Explain.

I am more optimistic about the future in terms of population. Nowadays, many young people are more educated than before. When we ask each other how many children we want in future the answer is one or two. Also, raising children is expensive and is not easy for many people to support 4 to 5 children. I think in future population problem is less than now. “I wish”.



#2 What do you think should be down in the industrial world in terms of population? What should be done in the emerging nations?

In the industrial world in terms of population, the government of each country must educate families. Families need to have family planning which controls the population. Also, government must improve economic system that people can have better life.

Happiness

1- Do you think these data collection tools are valid scientific tools? Why or why not?

I don’t think these data collection are 100% valid, because with some question we can not decide that we are happy or not. The results can be different at a different time; it will depend on the time of our life we are facing. This is just a computer program it’s not natural way to measure our happiness. Also, with this tool we can not judge about bigger population. For example, we can not say Chinese are happier than Canadian.

2-Do you think your results on the on-line survey would be different if you did it at another time or day? Why or why not?

No, because our happiness level can be change in any minutes. Also, I don’t believe this computer programs result. Some people may not pay attention to the following ones and will just respond as it goes.

3- which of the two tools is better to do with a large group of people (eg. university students, people living in cities versus rural locations, etc.) to discover patterns of happiness in a given population? Why do you think one is better than the other?

I don’t think any of them will be the best tool to do with a large group of people to discover patterns of happiness. Could be a mixture of both, the happy-face questionnaire and the on-line questionnaire, but I think none of them will perfectly suit. I think both are lacking something.

Is the difference between males and females communication patterns similar to the difference between people from different cultures? Why or why not? (

On my opinion, yes, the difference between males and females communicating is similar to the difference between people from two different cultures. For example, when men and woman are getting together to know each other, there could be a lot of misunderstandings. It is the same when you go in to the country with a different culture .However, after some times, you may find how communicate with people from that particular culture. It is the same in a couple, you can know each other and how to communicate.

We can not say cross-cultural marriages are impossible, but we know that is not easy. Some times, it is very difficult to explain what you are believed. Also, it is not easy to understand other culture but in same time it is very exciting experience to married with some one in different culture.
