The World is Getting Happier

According to a Michigan University study, the world as a whole is getting happier. Polls and surveys have contributed to this "Happiness" to quantify the study. Apparently America is only the 16th happiest country in the world. Denmark is said to be the happiest, and Zimbabwe is the most unhappy. The study shows overall world happiness is on the increase on average. This is probably due to globalization. Resources are being split more evenly so the wealthy are less rich and the poor are less poor. The end result is a "happier" world. I still don't see how you can break happiness into numbers and analyze them, but hey, it does make sense when you look at the logistics of it all.
