Abstract

Happiness has always been a noble aspiration and a fundamental goal of human life. From the perspective of Marxist–Leninist ethics, happiness is understood not merely as an individual emotional state but also as the outcome of labor, social contribution, and human development in harmonious relationships with society. In the contemporary context, students encounter numerous opportunities and challenges arising from international integration. Examining the concept of happiness in Marxist–Leninist ethics is therefore important for shaping students’ awareness, fostering positive ideals, developing their character, and strengthening their sense of responsibility toward themselves, their families, and their country.
