Most people want to be happy. But happiness can look very different depending on the culture in which you grew up. Here's why, writes monkprayogshala
Happiness and well-being perceptions differ between the East and the West due to differences in culture.
An inverse correlation was found between nations’ cultural distance from the U.S. and their happiness scores. A greater proportion of people in the West report greater levels of life satisfaction than the residents of East and Southeast Asia.. But the answer to the question"What constitutes happiness?" is far from universal. That which boosts the happy neurochemicals in Ms. X might not do so in Ms. Y. After all, one cannot expect to see a standard"definition" of happiness when the word has so greatly evolved over the 500 years of its use.
across cultures even today. This article attempts to explore the differences in perceptions of happiness and well-being in the East and the West.Two words of caution: First, culture is an intricate amalgam of a myriad of beliefs, values, attitudes, and practices . The following discussion is limited to one or a few aspects of culture, even though it is much more complex in reality. Second, nations are not the same as cultures.
Most Asian cultures are collectivist and emphasize the group over the self . Social cohesion, harmony, common values, and interdependence are ideas that assume paramount importance. Individualistic cultures prioritize the self , and personal achievement gains precedence over group accomplishment.
