PART 2. Learning Activities

ACTIVITY 1

Tentative Title: Money can’t buy happiness

Subject or Topic: Money
A. Introduction
1. Catchy Hook: Can you envision living in this day and age without money? Is it
even possible to thrive in today's materialistic and cash-driven world without
money?
2. Thesis Statement:
[Link] is the issue? It talks about money
[Link] are concerned on the issue? Everyone
2.3. Why is the issue relevant? It is relevant because when we talk about money on
humans, they can't live without it. They didn't know that money drives us
insane, and it is inevitable, especially if this can do many things.

B. Development of Argument
1. Claim 1: Money clearly cannot provide happiness, as many individuals who work
hard and long every day for a living are frequently miserable.
Evidence: Research shows that emotional well-being rises along with income, up to
a point. A 2010 study looked at surveys of 450,000 Americans and found that
participants with higher incomes reported higher emotional well-being, up to an
annual income of $75,000. After that, it drops off. To point out, due to severe
workloads or long working hours, most friends and family do not have time to
spend their hard-earned money, and emotional well-being rises.

2. Claim 2: Money is often the main culprit that ruins relationships.

Evidence: Fighting over money is a common occurrence among friends and family
members, and it can quickly escalate into a severe problem. For example, it is not
uncommon to hear about family members battling over an inheritance or old
business partners feuding over financial issues. According to the American
Psychological Association, in a survey performed with the Harris Poll, 72% of
people said they felt stressed out about money issues. In addition, 31% reported
that it did cause problems or conflict in their marriages.

3. Claim 3: Spending money may make you happy for a short time, but long-term is
unjust.
Evidence: You will be happier if you save money for emergencies, pay off debt,
and live within your means. It will give you peace of mind and allow you to do the
things you have always wanted to do. You'll be less stressed and have more money.
 But if you are a spendthrift, it makes you unhappy or unjust. According to UP
Journey, " Spending money long-term will not make you happy."

C. Refuting Opposing Arguments

1. Opposing Argument 1: Money can sometimes make one happy.
Counter Argument/Refutation: Earning enough money to pay their monthly bills
and feed their families makes some people happy. Others may be able to save enough
money to purchase items that they enjoy or go on a dream vacation.

2. Opposing Argument 2: Money does buy happiness where one’s survival is

concerned or when he wishes to satisfy, he wants.
Counter Argument/Refutation: "Money can be a tool to motivate you to achieve
major milestones in your life, which can make you feel happier in the long run,”
according to Jenny Jiao, study author and assistant professor of marketing at
Binghamton University School of Management.

D. Conclusion: Mark Twain once said, “The lack of money is the root of all evil.” I agree
with him since, in this day and age, no one can survive without money. Money matters,
whether we like it or not, and one's financial status has a direct impact on his
happiness. Money, on the other hand, does not ensure contentment. Money has a nasty
habit of rearing its ugly head and destroying relationships. In the quest for wealth and
material comforts, one must also make sacrifices, such as missing out on family time.
1. Restatement: It's crucial to remember the things in life that provide you joy yet
don't cost anything. As a result, I believe that to be happy, one must recognize that
there is more happiness than money.
2. Description of the issue: Money cannot buy happiness because happiness isn’t
tangible.
