Presentation summary - Kendry Martinez

 

Summary – In my presentation I’m going to be discussing the theories of well-being. Specifically I'm going to be talking about the hedonistic, desire, objective list, and eudemonistic theories of well-being. I’m going to explain what they all are in detail. I’ll also talk about which theory I personally think is the most effective in explaining well-being.

Discussion questions – 1. What do you think well-being is, and why? 2. Which theory makes the most sense to you, and why? 3. Which theory do you oppose the most, and why?
