Second year show hand washing happiness med student

Dear All, This is a brief explanation of the two second year show clips, a little something on hand washing and being happy (this sounds common sensical, but i learned that a lot of people, including myself, have been washing our hands in the wrong way, and i thought because it’s flu season, it may be helpful if we started washing our hands in the right way).

Most of us wont naturally come to the conclusion that the human decision process is the vehicle that we use to strive for positive satisfaction. Happiness. Simply put, this is the pathway each of us use to reach positive emotional outputs. What does any of this mean? Why does this question matter! There seems to be an imbalance within todays wealth creation and how we feel about ourselves, what really makes us feel happy. If we look at consumerism today, with a wide objective view, we can easily see which countries are the largest consumers, deriving from the economy the largest financial sums.
