can be mirrored by its humorhumor has been evaluated by many great minds such as thomas hobbes，who，in“on nature”，disliked humor,“laughter is nothing else but sudden glory arising from sudden thought of feeling far better than others”he thought humor to be a negative quality of human narrow-mindedness however, mordechai gordon，ph. d of education，insists，“humor allows us to view theworld from an
