第一篇Oseola McCarty(教材原題,略)
第二篇Gross National Happiness
In the last century, new technologyimproved the lives of many people in many countries. However, one countryresisted these changes. High in the Himalayan mountains of Asia, the kingdom ofBhutan remained separate. Its people and Buddhist (佛教) culture had not beenaffected for almost a thousand years. Bhutan, however, was a poor country. Peopledied at a young age. Most of its people could not read, and they did not knowmuch about the outside world. Then, in 1972, a new ruler named King JigmeSingye Wangchuck decided to help Bhutan to become modern, but without losingits traditions.
King Wangchuck looked at othercountries for ideas. He saw that most countries measured their progress bytheir Gross National Product (GNP).The GNP measures products and money. When thenumber of products sold increases, people say the country is making progress. KingWangchuck had a different idea for Bhutan. He wanted to measure his country'sprogress by people's happiness. If the people's happiness increased, the king couldsay that Bhutan was making progress. To decide if people were happier, hecreated a measure called Gross National Happiness (GNH)。
GNH is based on certain principlesthat create happiness. People are happier if they have heath care, education,and jobs. They are happier when they live in a healthy, protected environment. Theyare happier when can keep their traditional culture and customs. Finally,people are happier when they have a good, stable government.
Now there is some evidence of increased GNH in Bhutan. People are healthier and are living longer. More people are educated and employed. Twenty-five percent of the land has become national parks, and the country has almost no pollution. The Bhutanese continue to were their traditional clothing and follow their ancient Buddhist customs. Bhutan has also become a democracy. In 2008, King Wang chuck gave his power to his son. Although the country still had a king, it held its first democratic elections that year. Bhutan had political parties and political candidates for the first time. Finally, Bhutan has connected to the rest of the world through television and the Internet.
Bhutan is a symbol for social progress. Many countries are now interested in Bhutan's GNH. These countries are investigating their own ways to measure happiness. They want to create new policies that take care of their people, cultures, and land.
Brazil may be the next country to usethe principles of GNH. Brazilian leaders see the principles of GNH as a sourceof inspiration. Brazil is a large country with a diverse population. If happinessworks as a measure of progress in Brazil, perhaps the rest of the world willfollow.
