Interview Happiness and Freedom
This writing work focuses on individual definitions of
happiness. For this work, you will prepare and conduct interviews with two
people about their definition of happiness, how they reached this view, and
whether they feel happiness is achievable.
Choose two people who vary in age and experience. Only one
of the subjects can be someone you know well. This is an opportunity to learn
about acquaintances and strangers as well. These should be face-to-face
interviews.
Next, ask a variety of questions to get them to consider not
just their definition of happiness, but its origins and development. You can
use these sample questions to get you started, but should add more questions or
change the interview as it develops: Has your definition of happiness changed
over time? What experiences have influenced your definition? Do you expect the
definition to change again?
Introduced this work by introducing each subject one at a
time. Who are they? What is the nature of your relationship? This work should
be at least 750 words please.
