    It can turn people against their family and the society in which they live. It can create illegal businesses, which thrive on the desire of money. Regardless of the ways in which the corruption occurs, it is abundantly clear that the power derived from money can corrupt people. Fitzgerald demonstrates these flaws of society with Tom and Gatsby and how the wealthy life has driven them to go against the morals founded by society. This being said, not everyone who is rich has not morals, but the truth is that money can break any man at any moment, for when the desired object can fulfill dreams, many will disregard all others to obtain…

    Money is wasted often. Of course, this is an opinionated statement. The people with less money will think that the people with more money, that are out buying cars for their dogs and phones for their babies, are wasting money. But then the richer people will see no harm done in their actions. They have more money where that came from, what’s the big deal?…

    This never ending pursuit of money has made the society a selfish one. People forget that there are many things that money can't buy. A Chinese proverb summarizes this argument very well by saying that money can buy a house but it cannot make a home, that it can not buy time, sleep knowledge, health, respect and a good life only the material aspects can be bought but not ones that come from within. Stephen R. Covey in his book ' seven habits of highly effective people also mentions that some of us tend to be centered around money and so our sense of security and happiness is directly related to how much money we have and since its human nature to never be satisfied with what one has he is likely to remain unhappy most of the time. Even a huge increase in wealth is unlikely to satisfy such a person. For this purpose we need to alter our centres to what we really want at the end of our…

    Even if they do not admit it, these same people still behave as though it were true. More money means you can have what you want and do what you want. The house you dream of? It is yours. The new car you desire? Here are the keys. Why should money bring the feeling of self-satisfaction? If we should view life as a movie, we notice the sole purpose of our life is to get an education as we get older so that we can be able to get a job and make a living by earning enough money. So there it is the answer to those questions. Basically, what we tend to do in our whole life time is to earn money to survive to our taste of satisfaction. I do understand that some people believe in the “myself before another” principle which Cutler expatiated on when he said, “having a more expensive car than your neighbors might be a problem for them –they might be jealous and so on- but having a new car would give you, yourself a feeling of satisfaction and enjoyment.” (Bedau…

    That is the thought of most of the populace. Many people include the word money when they were asked to pick five things considered important to their lives. In a short article, “Money, Markets and Madness,” Vanessa Baird addresses “…what money means to us as human beings: the extraordinarily dominant role it plays in our societies, in our psyches, and in determining our very survival” (2). People use it every day to trade goods, such as buying clothes, food, and shelter. In this way, money is important to humans because it is used to exchange goods based on their needs. However, because of greed, some people turn it into something more important than their lives. They try to get as much money as they can even when they have to go out and do the bad things. They let money control their brains. They feel satisfied when they have more money than their peers; it is a fake happiness in a competition with no…

    “Money has never made man happy, nor will it, there is nothing in its nature to produce happiness. The more of it one has, the more one wants,” quoted by Benjamin Franklin. Money can’t buy happiness because materials are short lived, human connection is more important, and wealth undermines people’s ability to savor positive events from the sheer abundance. Money will accumulate, but it is easy to chase more and more until you realize you’re not actually living.…
