What do you think is the relationship between money and happiness?,In my opinion, money doesnt necessarily bring happiness. There are lots of rich people in the world who live unhappy lives. Happiness is just a state of mind, and it mainly depends on how you look at people and things. However, having money sometimes does make us feel a little happier because it can help us to gain what we want more easily.,Sharing,Sharing,Listening,Viewing,Listening to the world,Listening to the world,2.

If the whole town is installed with CCTV cameras, some potential criminals may be discouraged from committing crimes, and if crimes do happen, the police can rely on CCTV cameras to get evidence and find the suspect(s). As for the other plans, I dont think Plan 2) would be very useful, and I really doubt Plans 3) and 4) can be easily carried out.,Listening,Listening to the world,2 How do you think the following groups of people would feel about the plans: the police, local residents, parents, and teenagers?, The police would think that these measures can help them cut crime. Local residents may feel happy about the first two plans. Parents may hold the same opinions as the local residents about the first three plans, but they may also warmly welcome the last plan.
