▶ Your Answer : Opinions maybe divided over whether a job has more effect on your happiness. People of various age and walks of life may take diverse positions on the controversial issue. We cannot deny the fact that people usually think a social life has more impact on their happiness rather than a job does. Personally, therefore, I agree that the social life helps people to do diverse things and relieve stress. To begin with, they can do various experiences through a social life. Everyone is aware that workers are limited only in a working place all day. They cannot afford to do different things since they have to concentrate on their own tasks. So, they simply have pressure not only physically but also mentally while working. On the contrary, in the case of a social life, you are able to meet new people of diverse backgrounds and do exciting activities. Therefore, they can feel happy and ultimately fulfilled. I believe that experience is the most essential factor of happiness of this world. People can not only gain diverse experience but also broaden their horizon of the world. For example, there was a poll conducted by Korean EAP with workers as respondents. The purpose of survey was to understand the consensus view about their social life is more beneficial for their happiness than a job is. The majority of respondents ranked a social life over a job. An overwhelming 90% responded that their social life has more effect on their happiness. The reason was that they tend to consider a work stressful. In addition, they think that a social life is an outlet to escape from their routine life by doing different activities. This survey proves people think the social life can lead to a positive effect. On top of that, the social life can relieve their stress in many aspects. Thereby, they eventually feel happiness owing to eliminating their concerns. Having the outlet for stress such as joining a football club has a meaning in itself since it helps one regain energy and find the strength to go on. Nowadays, people are too stressful for their work to feel happy in their life. A social life will help people get back on track after joining a wide variety of clubs and loving someone. For instance, The Germany Government passed the law of working only for 6hours in(x?) a day. The purpose of the government was to have more free time for worker in order to do what they want after working. As a result, satisfaction of German workers with life held second rank in OECD. This is an example of how relieving stress can be effective in their happiness.
In this regard, I firmly hold that people's social life is crucial to their happiness for the reason that I mentioned above.
