Quiz scores from yesterday have been entered, but I need to wait to hand back the quizzes; a number of people were absent yesterday and still have to take the quiz.

You will receive your quiz from last week, and, most of you, will receive your book reviews.  We will talk about the book reviews and quizzes tomorrow. I will allow you to revisit the skills/terms addressed on certain questions that a fairly high percentage of people missed.

Watch some more of Happy through the Bhutan episode...

Bellringer:  Although I'm not sure it's workable for a variety of reasons, let's assume a country like the US decided to track Gross National Happiness (like Bhutan is doing).  Write a reflection on how that might impact the way our country would operate. What would be some of the elements of  Gross National Happiness? 

The suggestion of measuring Gross Domestic Happiness actually contains a subtext, an implicit criticism of how our focus on the economic index of Gross Domestic Product both reveals and influences our individual, corporate, and national priorities.  Do you feel that we focus too much on Gross Domestic Product and other financial indices such as the stock market? Why or why not? Do you think that a focus on national financial measures distort our  priorities and make them too materialistic or do they help us to shape healthy and necessary national priorities?
