Plan for Unit 3 - Things that matter

Start: Mon 8th

End: Tue 23rd

Before you start, think about these questions and answer them in your folders:
1. What do you think are the most important factors contributing to happiness in life? How do these factors
vary across cultures, age groups, and individuals?
2. Can happiness be achieved through external circumstances such as wealth, success, or relationships, or
is it an internal state of being? Why or why not?
3. How do you think technology and social media are affecting our ability to find happiness in today's
society? Are they helping or hindering our well-being, and why?
