The Gap, Inc. was Founded in San Francisco in 1969 and was reincorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in May 1988. Gap is one of the world's most iconic apparel and accessories brands anchored in optimistic, casual, American style for women, men, and children. The brand's collections continue to build the foundation of modern wardrobes - all things denim, tees, button-downs, and khakis, along with must-have trends. It is an omni-channel retailer, with sales to customers both in stores and online, through Company-operated and franchise stores, websites, and third-party arrangements. Also, Gap is located in 90 countries, including Lebanon. Between 1967 and 1994, happiness was not as common as misery.

Most researchers ask the people to report their feelings of happiness or unhappiness. In addition, people who say that they are happy seem happy to their family, friend and psychologist-interviewer. They smile more often than the people who say they are unhappy. Compared with the depressed, happy people are less self-focused, less hostile and abusive.

There is an even distribution of happiness across classification of age, race, economic class, and education level. All strategies for assessing subjective well-being of each group turn up with similar results.
