Based on the real life story of Chris Gardner, the Pursuit of Happyness looks at the crests and troughs in Chris' life on his way to becoming a stock broker, and eventually as everyone knows, a multi-millionaire. Will Smith played the role of Chris Gardner while Smith's son, Jaden Smith played Gardner's 7 or 8-year-old son.

Ashley Rhodes-Courter was only three years old when she was separated from her mother. She spent the next nine years bouncing from one foster family to another. Her mother, Lorraine, was only twenty years old, and she was also too young to take responsibilities for her two children. However, Ashley grew up earning straight “A’s” in her classes; she won a world-wide Harry Potter essay contest in New York, as well as many others. She was born in South Carolina, and later was taken to her first foster family in Florida. The closest family member she was kept with was her step-brother Luke, who didn’t share the same father. Later on, when Ashley was eleven years old, she got a new step-sister, who did not share the same father as she and Luke.

There had been a war between Britain and America, it was known as the War of 1812. This war was the turning point of America because it had soon led the nation to an “Era of Good Feelings.” The “Era of Good Feelings” is an ironic name because during this time period (1815-1825), it promoted both sectionalism and nationalism. Although some felt strongly for one way, there were some people who were in the middle and not exactly which sure they agreed with most. Nationalism is the unification of a country, and it shows how the country, and how it shouldn’t be split up.”

When America gained its independence and finished formulating its government, the nation found itself split into two factions: Democratic-Republicans and Federalists. These two parties battled for control of the country until the dissolution of the Federalist party after the War of 1812. This led to the Era of Good Feelings, in which America’s government operated for the first time under a one-party system, but the Era came to an end with the Election of 1824, where the party split in two in support of two opposing candidates. The new National Republican party, later evolving into the Whig party, formed around Henry Clay and John Quincy Adams, while the Democratic party formed in support of Andrew Jackson. After J.Q.A. won the 1824 election,

In 1815, still recuperating from war and threats of secession, America entered into a phase now referred to as the “Era of Good Feelings”. The era first started taking shape during the War of 1812, when strident partisan disagreements appeared to take a sideline and an intense American spirit became nearly ubiquitous. Staunch Federalists paid the price for breaking this spirit through talk of secession at the Hartford Convention, when national outrage flared. The Federalist Party became associated with treason and parochialism, and its viability was destroyed. Subsequently, all American politics congealed around the Democratic Republicans. For a brief period of time, their political dominance dampened the

　　The United States after the War of 1812, is often described as very strong, as they had just recovered from conflicts with Britain and, as always, are hopeful for new beginnings. Historians often claim that this stage after the war is called the “Era of Good Feelings”- meaning that during this period the United States only grew stronger. However, the “Era of Good Feelings” does not live up to its name; due to the constant complications in economical (tariffs), political (corrupt bargain), and societal (slavery controversy) issues—nationalism wavers and sectionalism seems to be a reoccurring theme.

During the presidency of James Monroe, a period known as “The Era of Good Feelings” surfaced among the United States. Monroe, nominated by the Republicans, carried on the Virginia Dynasty by being elected President in 1816. At this point in time, the Federalists were fading out fast. In fact, James Monroe had beat out the last Federalist candidate in this election. The collapse of the Federalist Party is accountable for the rise of a singular political party in the nation - the Democratic-Republicans.

I took away from the chapter in Remembering Aizu, The Happiest Day of My Life Shiba Goro heard of an application process for getting into the local Military School where he could study and work his way up the ranks. Since Goro was coming from a Samurai family he already had much of the training needed but he was behind in his education because he did not know how to do many of the equations needed to pass as well as he did not know how to write many chinese letters. Though it took a very long time to hear back about his acceptance him getting into the school was the best thing that was happening to him at the time. During this time he is moving from house to house trying to find places in which people would allow him to stay with them since

The Era of Good Feelings positively affected the US and significant to US History as it brought the US much needed solidarity after the War of 1812. These positives included great advancements to industry. An example of this is the advance of a transportation network that had been created in the North and West. Another example is the Tariff of 1816 which added to the swelling of progress, though this progress also led to strong inflation of the economy. Overall the Era of Good Feelings During the Era of Good Feelings, an address from John C. Calhoun to congress stated.

When America entered the time called the “Era of Good Feelings”, there were numerous debates over issues such as congress and policies, and multiple compromises. There were some positive outcomes from this time period, but the negative aspects heavily outweigh the positive ones. Some of the negative aspects during this time period were the sectionalism that began to take place in the country due to controversies like disunion between the people, disagreement in political issues, and finally the rise of the effects of the War of 1812. The Era of Good Feelings” was a drastic step forward in American history and did represent a period in which progress grew and new ideas and compromises happened.

According to authors Kottler and Chen, domains for enhancing happiness are relationships, environment, physical state, productivity, recreation, and distressing emotions. In addition, strategies that are related to these enhancements of happiness are finding a romantic partner, securing reasonable physical and financial safety and comfort, periodically enjoying fine weather, living in a stimulating environment (based on one’s value), eating healthy, engaging in regular physical exercise, achieving success and approval at work that is interesting and challenging, working towards a coherent set of goals, making leisure activities a priority, diversifying one’s life with multiple interests, experimenting with new and exciting options, avoiding distressing situations when possible, focusing on the positive as much as one can and practicing compassion and empathy toward others.

In the movie “The Pursuit of Happyness” there was a lot of life lessons incorporated in the film. One of the things that Chris Gardner told his son, Christopher "Don't ever let somebody tell you, you can't do something. Not even me. All right? You got a dream? You gotta protect it. People can't do something themselves, they want to tell you, you can't do it. You want something, go get it. Period." I think that this is really inspirational, and can be used for everyone in any situation. Chris Gardner displayed a great deal of determination, humbleness and always had a good disposition. These things stood out to me because personally, I do not think I would be able to obtain all of those qualities while going through the situations Chris
