Explain why or why not. I think there are many reasons a person will laugh at a joke that will put down other people. One such reason is immaturity. Having worked with teenagers I think that this is their favorite way to joke around. I think it makes them feel better about themselves.
Liz Gorelick Siddhartha Motif Analysis Laughter and smiles are motifs that usually represent innocence or kindness, yet Hesse uses these symbols in such a way that makes them represent enlightenment and destiny. We first see the mention of a smile when Siddhartha meets the Buddha. He recognizes him immediately because “he seemed to be smiling inwardly. With a secret smile, not unlike that of a healthy child” (Hesse 22). What Siddhartha recognizes in the Buddha is his smile of enlightenment.
Therefore, the presence of an individual produces positive reinforcement as they have a more attractive appeal. This theory also suggests that we are attracted to people if we meet them whilst we’re in a good mood, an example being at a party. As a result, previously neutral stimuli become positively valued as they are associated with the pleasant event, therefore meaning that we learn to like people through classical conditioning. Griffit and Guay (1969) conducted a study to investigate how the reward/need satisfaction theory works and how well it is acceptable. Participants were evaluated on a creative task by an experimenter.
‘Been in a couple of movies.’ She smiled like a fan” (Gilb 469). Response: Is Jake using his charm to distract her from the wreck? He thinks that she will believe that he is famous. She smiles at him. Does she believe all of his lies?
The facial feedback hypothesis explains that our facial expressions are dependent on the emotions and attitudes of the individual at the time of expression (Nevid, 2015). Research has shown that if you practice smiling it may lift you up, almost like a temporary high. Just the practicing of a smile may induce positive reaction but it may not produce the feelings of a genuine smile (Nevid, 2015). Prior to doing this experiment, and trying to choose which friends and family that wouldn’t think that I was totally crazy by asking, my husband and I did the experiment together. When my husband and I did this we were smiling and seemed happier when we were showing our teeth.
Next what I interpret from the commercial was it was made to entertain by making you laugh. To make you want to see this commercial again and again leading to you talk about it to your friends who lead their friends and so on, to making it popular. It used a situation like an environment where you think it’s all about work and no play by making it funny. Entertaining you to make you want to talk about this commercial or want to go buy and drink a bud light. Finally what I interpret that it was made to inform you to show you bud light understand you that they can relate to your everyday life.
Gatsby's social standing allowed him to be generous, because everyone expected it of him after attending or hearing about one of his lavish parties. Nick was below the high social standings of Tom, Daisy, and Jordan, and also below the lower social standing of Gatsby, but members of both classes liked and trusted him. As Nick said in chapter one of The Great Gatsby, Tom wanted Nick to like him as well. Somehow, Nick could transcend the barriers of certain classes, which made it easy for anyone to trust him, whether it is Tom with talking about his mistress, or Gatsby revealing his true identity. Wealth played a major part in The Great Gatsby.

How can anyone foresee what will make them happy or unhappy or how they will react or feel about it when it actually does happen? Another author named Michael Mendelsohn, writes an article titled “Positive Psychology: The Science of Happiness”, whereas he concentrates more on the chemistry of happiness. Mendelsohn thinks happiness is a brain condition made up of fifty percent genetics, ten percent circumstances and we control the remaining forty percent with our thoughts and actions. These two authors try to offer an explanation and understanding for why some people are happier than others. “The Pursuit of Happiness” suggests what we imagine occurrences and possessions that we believe would make us happy or unhappy.
