Theories of Happiness 

There are of course many competing theories of human well-being, both secular and religious. To even describe these theories at any length and soundness would require a volume or volumes, not a brief note. Still, at grave risk of trivialization, I would like to argue that various theories put different relative weights on six dimensions of happiness.

Mindfulness. 
Many theories of happiness, including Buddhism, Aristotelian virtue ethics, Stoicism, traditional Christian theology, and Positive Psychology, emphasize the path to happiness through the cultivation of mindfulness, attitudes, values, habits, dispositions, and virtues. The emphasis is placed on character, mindfulness and mental health rather than the objective circumstances facing the individual, whether economic, social, or political.

Consumerism.
Anglo-American economics has long emphasized the role of personal income and market opportunities in enabling individuals to meet their needs. The emphasis is on the individual as a rational consumer, acting to maximize individual utility (or material preferences) subject to a budget constraint. Easing the consumer budget constraint (that is, raising income) is the key to raising well-being in this view.

Economic freedom. 
For Mill, Nietzsche, Rand, Hayek, and Nozick in their very different and distinctive ways, happiness is achieved through personal freedom of action. In the extreme modern form, Libertarianism places liberty as the Summum Bonum, and as the key to social organization through a minimal state.

The dignity of work. 
Human beings are creators and explorers. They aim to discover, create, build, innovate, and change the world around them. Therefore, the quality of work life, the single biggest part of our waking adult lives, must surely count heavily for the quality of life. Drudgery and unemployment are shunned; stimulating work and decent work conditions are crucial for well-being.

Good Governance. Aristotle declares in The Politics that: “the state is a creation of nature, and that man is by nature a political animal.” The state, emphasizes Aristotle, “comes into existence, originating in the bare needs of life, and continuing in existence for the sake of a good life.” The quality of governance is, therefore, key. The administration of justice, writes Aristotle, is “the principle of order in political society.”

Social trust.
In the same vein, Aristotle declares that, “A social instinct is implanted in all men by nature.” The ability of men to live harmoniously with others in society is a key virtue. He who is sufficient for himself, Aristotle famously declared, is “either beast or god.”

Theories of Happiness put emphasis on one or another of these various dimensions. The economists emphasize the importance of raising wealth and consumption; the libertarians, personal liberty; communitarians, the social capital; Calvinists, respectable work; Buddhists and virtue ethicists, the cultivation of mindfulness and virtue. Partisans of these contrasting approaches have long fought bitterly across ideological lines. Communitarians accuse libertarians of neglecting social capital; libertarians accuse communitarians of undermining personal liberty. Even the levying of taxes to pay for public goods, according to libertarians, is a denial of personal liberty. Libertarians may argue for generosity, including charity, and reciprocity, but only on the basis of explicit individual consent.

INVESTIGACIÓN: LOS SECTORES ECONÓMICOS DE UN PAÍS

La próxima investigación tratará sobre la economía de un país. Se hará en un power point y se expondrá posteriormente a la clase. Los grupos ya están formados (no se puede cambiar de grupo) y a cada grupo le corresponderá un país.
Vamos con las características que tiene que tener obligatoriamente vuestro trabajo:

1. Se hará en un power point. Recordad que hacer un power point no es copiar un montón de información sin más. Tenéis que seleccionar de forma resumida la información más importante y añadir imágenes. ¡Cuidado con añadir información que no sepáis luego explicar! Si os hago alguna pregunta de la información que presentéis y no sois capaces de explicarla se os penalizará en la nota. Os recordaré en clase los criterios de calificación tanto de la parte del trabajo en grupo, como de la exposición oral.

2. En la primera diapositiva del trabajo debe aparecer:
-País sobre el que hacéis la investigación y debajo el subtítulo "análisis de los sectores de su economía".
-Una imagen representativa de ese país.
- El nombre de los miembros que integran el grupo.

3. En la segunda diapositiva aparecerá un indice con los puntos más importantes de vuestro trabajo.

4. En la tercera diapositiva aparecerá:
Un breve resumen de los datos económicos, administrativos y demográficos más importantes del país:
-Capital.
-Forma de gobierno (Monarquía parlamentaria, república y tipo de república, régimen autoritario...)
-Población total.
-Superficie del país.
-Moneda.
-Si tiene un Índice de Desarrollo Humano (IDH) alto, medio o bajo.
-PIB.
- PIB per cápita.
-Balanza comercial expresada en % de su PIB (es decir la diferencia entre lo que importa y lo que exporta).
-Peso económico (%) de cada uno de los sectores económicos estudiados en el total del PIB.
-Indice de Libertad Económica.
- Posición del país según alguno de los listados de países según su felicidad.

5. En las siguientes diapositivas  tenéis que explicar cómo son sus sectores primario, secundario y terciario. Podéis incluir las actividades del sector cuaternario (las TIC, I+D+i) tanto en el terciario como en un punto aparte. Pero, por supuesto, es obligatorio, referirse a estas actividades de la economía.

Debéis seguir un orden. Primero explicar el sector 1º, después el 2º, el 3º y por último el 4º. Cada vez que vayáis a explicar uno de estos sectores tenéis que poner en la diapositiva el título correspondiente, así como una imagen relacionada con ese sector.
Por ejemplo si voy a hablar del sector primario en esa diapositiva de presentación sólo puede aparecer:
SECTOR PRIMARIO y una imagen relacionada con él.

Los contenidos de los sectores económicos serán los siguientes:
SECTOR PRIMARIO:
-Agricultura (tradicional o de mercado)
-Ganadería.
-Explotación forestal.
-Pesca
SECTOR SECUNDARIO:
-Materias primas.
-Fuentes de energía (tradicionales y alternativas)
-Industria.
-Impacto medioambiental de la industria.
SECTOR TERCIARIO:
-Comercio (interior y exterior).
-Transporte.
-Turismo.
-Finanzas
-TIC
 I+D+i.

ENGLISH: As usually, you must do at least half of the project in English, this includes both the power point and the oral presentation.

En la última diapositiva debe aparecer una conclusión en la que de manera resumida expliquéis qué aspectos de vuestro país os parecen más importantes, qué habéis aprendido al hacer esta investigación, etc.)

Fecha de entrega: 18 de abril. Ese mismo día comenzaremos las exposiciones. No hay tiempo para aplazar el trabajo

Antes a cada grupo se le entregará una plantilla con todos los items que el profesor seguirá para evaluar cada una de las exposiciones.
