【题目分析】
在常人看来,发达国家的人总体上本应该感到更幸福!很多发达国家的人之所以觉得幸福感不如从前是因为他们对幸福的定义发生了变化(请参看剑桥雅思4 Test 2, Writing Task 2).
Question 1 推理过程:
a) 发达国家与发展中国家人民对幸福的定义不一样
b) 具体表现为:很多发达国家的人民对生活有更多期待(收入、工作满意度、生活水平,等)
c) 后果:发达国家很多人原来越贪婪,但是现实情况是大部分人都不能如愿,结果幸福指数大大降低
d) 原因:贪婪和自私是发达国家引导的现代生活方式的根基
d) 相反,发展中国家的人很多老百姓知足常乐,尤其是当这些国家社会变化加快,人民生活生活水平明显改善的时候。
Question 2 教训:
从两种不同人生观可以清晰地看出人的贪念是无止尽的。发达国家尽管创造了更高的物质文明,但是人民精神文明的缺失给社会发展带来了很大的麻烦。发展中国家的主流生活方式和人生观对发达国家的管理者和老百姓有很大的启发。如果发达国家倡导一种更简单的生活模式,情况可能会大为改观。

Undoubtly, the happiness is related with the level of developing or developed counties, but does not totally depend on the levels. There is a phenomenone that individuals living in developed conturies have less happiness than before and those in developing countries feel much happier than before. In the following I will display the underlying reasons and my lessons from the trend. Firstly, the defination or standard for happiness is different for every one due to born in defferent countries, different individual experience and even different education level.For instance, people living in countries often suffering famine like Africa would feel excited if they can have full stomach everyday, which would be easy for developed countries. While for those living in developed countries would get the same level of happiness by increased demanding for eccentric experience like having a trip to the moon, which is much harder to have a full stomach. Meantime, those with higher education are definitely looking forward to get an innovative, chanllenge and high salary instead of a stable, low salary or boring job, which makes them harder to be satisfied. Hence, it seems that people in developed counties are less likely to be satisfied. Secondly, there are more chanllenge for people living in developed countries than in developing countries, which makes people living in stress instead of enjoying life. Apparently, developed countries go with increasing application of high technology, such as computers and robots. The usage of machines would push working labours into freaking of loosing jobs and need to study after working instead of entertaining themselves. Another factor is the life pace is faster in developed countries, which makes human beings forget to enjoy the beautiful things on the way of their life, like reduced family communication. There is a research saying that, the emotional satisfaction would make people happier, which is more paid attention in developing countries. For my side, for the people living in the developed countries would like to slow down to have a simple life as those in developing countries would feel much happier.
