ON PERSONAL HAPPINESS
Presented By : Group 1,2,3
 CASE STUDY
"If one is faced with the choice of playing online games all
day for a week and studying school lessons for at least
three hours a day for a week. One must ask oneself which
course of action fulfills one's higher faculties more. One
should also ask how many people can benefit from such a
choice compared to the other, as well as the kind of
happiness it can bring these people."
 INSTRUCTIONS
1. List all the Positive and Negative effects of the two
issues at hand.

 “Which of the two will bring ultimate
happiness?”
As a conclusion, it is good and reasonably wise to study for at least three
hours each day for a week. It may not cause that much happiness nor
pleasure compare to playing, but in the long run, it will benefit oneself as
well as provide more happiness in the future, not just to one’s individual
self but also to significant others, on account of future achievements.
