 THESIS  ASSIGNMENT :  YOUR HOMEWORK IS TO DEVELOP AN  INTRODUCTION THAT HAS BOTH A BACKGROUND AND THESIS

 THEN SUBMIT IT ON THE OPEN Document BY  TUESDAY if you are my 930  OR THURSDAY if you are my 1215 - BEFORE CLASS! 

Q: Discuss Genetics as it relates to the research in the study of happiness. According to the research ( articles you read) How much of our happiness is pre -determined and how much of  it is  suggested by disposition, perpetuation and perspective ?  

In what ways do Sutton and Newman provide an analytical approach to the study of genetics and happiness. and in what ways have they implemented the research on this long term debate? How might  the research as mentioned  "proof in the pie"  alongside  the " nature vs. nurture" theory  contribute significantly to the study of happiness?  

REMEMBER: 

• An introduction has BOTH  a BACKGROUND AND THESIS
•  A THESIS  IS DEVELOPED and Specific - Ideas can be broken down into Main Points

SUBMIT YOUR INTRODUCTION WITH THESIS HERE - YOU WILL NEED AN INTRO WITH BACKGROUND & THESIS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE CHALLENGE!  We will go over it on Tuesday!  It will be FUN!
