Blog #9: The World Values Survey

The results of the world values survey did not surprise me. I feel that since poverty stricken countries do not have the time or money for technology and pass times, they have more time for family and friends, unlike North America. In North America, we're constantly bombarded with technology and new things to distract us from our social lives and family; not to mention debt. With money comes debt, and with debt comes stress, and with stress comes unhappiness. But to even think about taking all of that away and living a simpler life seems crazy, but in poverty stricken countries, that's all they've lived and grown to know.
