Humor is the act of making some funny jokes to make people laugh. When a person smiles, even if they were angry about something, they will tend to forget it. For college students who are angry over some issues, I find laughter to be the best weapon for them to forget their anger. For example, athletic students may come from a competition where they did not win. It makes them gloomy because of the thought. Therefore, humor can be the best medicine for them.

Humor has been difficult to analyze over time. If a joke is mentioned and people do not laugh, then the joker has to explain it, which makes it less of a joke and more of an elaboration. Hence, people will not laugh as they were supposed to. Humor is a social phenomenon that is enjoyable and pleasant when enjoyed by a group of people. For example, when watching something funny alone, one cannot laugh as much as they would when with a group of people. Thus, the question of interest is, can laughter defuse anger in college students and bring happiness? The problem is crucial because it helps in the understanding of how humor can get rid of anger. The college athletic team might disagree with the thesis because they feel like the anger they have can only disappear with time and not with the help of humor.

Most people do not believe that humor can defuse anger and bring happiness, but research has been done on the field and found that laughter is indeed a weapon. Satisfaction is not only shown by laughter, but also with smiles and grins. Humor is a form of communication where the person experiencing the humor passes it on to others for them to laugh. Thus, for it to work, the audience must be a group of many people.

Humor is vital in keeping college students happy because they will tend to make a joke out of every bad situation. For instance, if the athletic students are a bit in a competition, they can make fun of the moments they experienced, and no one will be angry about the experience. Staying as a group is also important because one will not find someone to laugh with if they are alone. Also, people grow stronger and healthier when they laugh because they will not have time to think of bad moments that can stress them.

Overall, to make humor essential tools to release anxiousness and stresses for college students, humor should be understandable. For one to laugh when humor is presented, they must first be able to understand what is said. So, humor should be composed using understandable words for every individual in a group to interpret it and laugh. Thus, laughter is a weapon and a form of communication that is important in a college setup.
