Question: What determines happiness and what are it’s effects in society?

Hypothesis:

1. While certain musical keys bring out certain ideas and feelings, we use our brain to determine what sounds “nice”
2. When a person is content with what he is starting out with, he will make more money than someone who is not happy with their initial income or living situation
3. People will be happy when their physical and emotional needs are fulfilled
4. I think there is a minimum amount of money people need to be happy, but after that more money does not affect happiness
5. If a child is raised in a positive environment, then they will grow up with a more optimistic outlook on life
6. The amount and quality of the things people have directly affect our happiness.
