Based on how it is right now in the present day and time, how do you think our society will change? How will we be effected by wealth?

The Root of all Evil
Money. Our modern society is mostly built on it these days. Over the years, money has become more and more imbedded into our lives and our habits. Out of money is power, the rich and wealthy can rule the financial empire. But also, we can get dragged away by the pleasure of wealth. Just look at the recession! Bad spending habits, credit card debt, foreclosure, you hear it all over the news every night. And yet, we may try to fix it, but we keep falling into the same habits over and over again, digging that hole deeper and deeper. We are hooked on a drug, and it's called money. Our whole society is hooked!

Well I think that the U.S. has three options.
ReplyDeleteOne: Leave things the way they are. This means more debt, another depression, more ilegall actions for people who are effected the worst by it.
Two: Make more money. Print more green paper in Treasuries. Then do what? Hand it out to people? But then what will happen is that prices will go up, and we might very well find ourselves in the same situation we are now.
Three: Take away money, put in more taxes. This is a way to grab control of the people, have them begging for more money, more resources, and a cruel but effective way of getting the people back under their belt. Then they might be able to do a "fresh start" as it's called.
So what do you think? Option one, two or three? or is there another option?
There is also the option we are trying right now.
ReplyDelete"Stimulus" - Trying to stimulate the economy by pumping money into it via small business, big corporations, middle-class families. By doing that, hopefully people will spend the money in business, those businesses will use that money to hire more employees, those employees will get paid, and they in return will spend their paychecks. It's almost entirely based on the movement of money from one hand to another hand. The problem is that people (MONEY-drugged people) put this money in CD's and savings accounts where it sits and slowly grows. This does not help out the economy as a whole.
But ANWAYS, that wasn't related at all. But what I think is that money is gradually becoming more and more important in society, especially in these times where sometimes, it is just hard to come by! It's gradually becoming more integrated in our society, where as in the future, it will determine social class, treatment, etc. (OK, this might be severe, but it's a example).
I agree with your (severe) statement. I think that the way money is becoming more and more integrated into our society, it generally determines the answer to the question, "Will i be successful?"
ReplyDeleteIf you have money, the answer will be yes.
If you don't the answer will be no.
Yeah I guess these views can be linked to economic classes. E.G. poor will think negatively of money, rich will think positively of money.
