After the discussion we had in class, it would be very interesting to know your views on this topic.
Watch the video and answer the questions.
- Do you like this song?
- Does money make you happy?
- What things are more important than money?
Listen to Elena giving her views on one of the questions.
And here's Wilson answering the other question.
This is what Luisina Aguirre shared with me via email.
ReplyDelete"Money can't buy happines, maybe when we buy something we want, but if we haven't family, health, love or friends, we haven't happiness. Having good relationships and lifestyle makes happiness."
Many people believe that they can have everything they want just about having money. My own point of view is that this is not true, because money can´t buy happiness for example. I recognize that money can enhance happiness but happiness is about family and friends. In other words, we shouldn't give more relevance to material things instead of feelings and people surrounding us.
ReplyDeleteEven though humans always need a sense during their life,due to money some people forget to value their around.In view of wasting time on stupid stuff....To sum up ¨HAPPINESS comes from spiritual wealth,not material wealth
ReplyDeleteI don`t worry about being plenty of extra money. I just want to have enough of it to buy necessary food, to have a house, education and for any emergency like a surgery or some medicine my family and I could need. I mean that if it is about health, for example, it would be a terrible situation not to have money, ando it would make me feel completely unhappy.
ReplyDeleteIn fact, the most important things for me are my family, some friends, my pets and their good life-style. I can`t see them suffering or beingworried about anything. They are so priceless. In addition, the members of my family are next to me all the time what makes me feel not alone but important for them. In this context, money has nothing to do.

ReplyDeleteI didn't know about this song, but actually I think that it's a catchy song, I like it! Well, personally I think that money it's not a reason to be happy, for example a hug of my mum, a good song, are reasons to be happy, of course, nowadays we live in a world when everything is consume, they have to pretend that we think that happiness is related to have more and more money. However I heard an old quote that said "The best things in life aren't things" and it's true!!!!Just We have to take a little time to appreciate.
ReplyDeleteWell, i knew this song and i like it very much because i love Beatles ♥
ReplyDeleteI have to say that money doesn't make me happy. Is like that you can have all the money and power in the world, but it can't buy you happiness and it certainly can't buy you love.
I prefer being with my family and friends, and for me those things don't have price. The most important things are, having healthy, and happiness
Here is another video talking about money. i love this video ♥

In my opinion, money can help you to get things in order to share and coexist with others. Suppose that you have a big house, with all the furniture, garden, etc. and you have no one to share with: wife, daughter, son, father, mother, brother, sister, friends... Would you be happy? Would you feel loved? Would you feel that you have it all? I don't think so. I think that money plays an important part in life because you have to eat, pay duties, etc. but is not the one that makes a person fully happy.Things that I consider more important than money are my family, friends, my dogs <3, health, playing with my niece, my little cousin.
ReplyDeleteRocio Nuñez.
It is the first time I hear this song, and I loved it. In my opinion a minimum amount of money to be happy is necessary, there are poor people who are very happy, and rich people who are extremely unhappy.
ReplyDeleteHappiness depends on many other factors, such as love, personal goals, dreams, leisure, family, friendship.
This is a sentence that made me think "You can choose to be happy, or you can choose to be unhappy, life will take its course and you better enjoy it because all the money in the world can stop your clock."
I've listened the song but never paid attention to the lyrics!
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion Happyness is like a big house with diferent columns which support it. There're family, friends, achievements, hobbies.. but Money IS a column too. Why? Because we live in a capitalism society in which everything is paid with money, even the most unthinkable things like water. Money isn't overriding but If we think of health, food, taxes, etc, makes our life much more easier. For example, If I couldn't pay the light bill when I use air-conditioned, I'd definitely not have been a blissful person

I´ve never listened the song but I like it so much!
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion money will never give me happiness. Happiness is about family and friends, they are who motivated me to work hard to achive with my goals.
If I can help at home for example, or I have a family, I´ll buy food, clothes or maybe pay a treatment for them, that could make me a happier person. Money can help us in the dairy life, while I´m going to feel proud of me.
Happiness sometimes is difficult to see, people do not know that they could be happy with a few of material things.

ReplyDeleteWell, I've never listened this song of the band "The beatles" but I've listened other songs of them and they're amazing! :D
Yes, I do.. But I think that money isn't so important like "the society" said us every day. For me the most important in my life is my family and my friends or maybe I have a good health or just enjoy the laughter of my siblings or my adorable niece.
Money is relative but is necessary, of course, but I think that depend on the person and the value of money for him or her.
I didn`t know about this song but I do like it.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion money does not make happy to anyone. It may help you to have some thinks but nothing else.
Some people think that money can buy almost everythink, but I don`t agree. In my opinion I can say that money can help you althoug the most important think in life is love. With love you will be the happiest person in the world.

I´ve never listened this song but I like it. Money doesn´t make me happy, but have some money is necessary for live because if I don´t have money I won´t to buy food or clothes and others things that are important. My family and friends make me feel very happy.
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of things more important that money. For me, have a good relationship with muy family and friends is the most important thing.
Althoug, I trink that having money is good if you use it in the correct way.

I'm Leila Sartor and my opinion about this song is that i like it too much. I really enjoy Beatles songs. I do agree with them when they say money can't buy love. People who has too much money find really difficult to find love or friends because everyone's just interested in the money and to become popular next to that person. Money is really necessary in the world we live nowadays but can't buy love of people, friends or family who will be there next to you in the good and bad moments no matter how rich or poor you are.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know this song but I like it!
ReplyDeleteI think that "the money is not everything" because It can't buy the feelings. It's necessary for to live, of course! but I prefer that the people that I love, to give me love and not gifts.
Sometimes we should leave of side the money and value the moments whit own family, friends, boyfriend, because the money can buy a meal for to meet to celebrete something, but the money can't buy one life, if we lose someone.
I'm Bárbara Amherdt. I've never listened to this song but I really like it, I love the lyrics, they're so meaningful.
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with the idea that money doesn't bring happiness.
Having a nurturing environment, family and friends, as well as being healthy are the essential things in life. Also, feeling at ease with people is important.
Although money doesn't make me happy, I need it to satisfy my basic needs and it enables me to do what I like.
i didn't know about this but its nice and i like it!.
ReplyDeleteno, it doesnt make me happy it just allows me to do more things, but happiness has a very different meaning.
its about share your time,laugh and have fun with people you love.. for me that is the real happiness
form me is that money is very necessary but not going to make happy I alwas separated the money the famly and friendship
ReplyDeleteI like the song is very happy , I listened as teenager , I remenber that listened a lot at home , my opinion for the money can not buy happiness but is helpful in differente situations for example in case of illness ,to buy medicine and goods . Is that money is very necessary but not going to make happy , I always separated money the family and friend .
ReplyDeleteI'm very happy wiht he little I have but I'm happy family by Dios gave me
ReplyDeleteI'm very happy wiht he little I have but I'm happy family by Dios gave me
ReplyDeleteAbout the phrase 'money make hapiness', I believe that money does not make happiness but often money support on different issues, one of the most important is heath, besides I think the money allows a better quality of life and access what you want, and without money this will be impossible.

I've never listened this song but I like it, I love the lyrics. It has a great meaning.
ReplyDeleteMoney don't make me happy but it helps a lot, with the food, in your house, clothes, today you can't live without money. Although is less important than other things like family and a good relationship with them, with your friends, health, a stable job. That makes me happy, VERY happy! :)

I´ve nener listened this song, but I like it.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, money can help me in my life, because I need it for buying things and surviving in the society where we live. However, the money don´t make me happy. A really relationship with my family and friends could give me more happiness than money because, when I feel sad or alone, I know that they´re with me when I need them.
