Happiness
This article was interesting to me because i think that the feeling of happiness is something we’ve lost in our society today, we’re constantly trying to be better than one another and we do not see the bigger picture. The article talks about the book The Happiness Fantasy and interviews its’ author Carl Cederström, the interviewer Sean Illing had some very thought provoking questions for the author. They discussed the title of the book and how it relates to society in the way that there is a strong connection between popular morality and what we as a society think happiness is. They talk about the 60s, 70s and 80s and how the public viewed corporations and certain politicians pushing a consumerist lifestyle and this drove many people to live an “authentic life” driven by free love and free sexuality. This article portrays happiness as an ever evolving feeling and reveals to me at least that there is no one definition for happiness because over the last 50-100 years the concept of happiness has shifted so many times.

Testing for Vitamin C
On Friday are science class learned how to observe and compare and contrast six different liquids. At the start of the experiment the liquids we mostly blue however during the experiment if you added a liquid with a high level Vitamin C then the colour would change however if the liquid did not have a high level of Vitamin C the colour would not change.
Before we mixed:
On Friday we did the experiment to learn why does the amount of vitamin C affect the colour of mix of chemicals. In the experiment i did my half of the work witch included writing down notes and mixing the chemicals while my partner did his half. It is important to know these things because the drinks with lots of vitamin C are good for you.
