The Happiness Debate: Modernity and Affluence in Society

This text explores whether individuals are happier in modern societies compared to traditional ones, and if wealth influences overall happiness. Using Bhutan as a case study, we examine key statistics: an infant mortality rate of 42 per 1000 births, a literacy rate of 47% (with 60% for males), a life expectancy at birth of 67 years, and an urbanization rate of 35%. These statistics raise questions about the relationship between standard of living and happiness, inviting reflection on societal values and well-being.
