Blog 15: What do I hope to find?

For my Analytical Research Paper, I want to know why people make their life revolve around money. I guess I could say that Jayne has his job for the sake of making money fast. Of course, that’s why we all have jobs—to make money. Saying that does give me confusion. I say this because money is a necessity. Can materialistic items really cause humans to be so selfish and willing to hurt or backstab others? These little pieces of paper seem to have a lot more power than living things. What makes money so important that it convinces people it is acceptable to acquire it by having types of jobs, such as thieving, even though there are more moral means of achieving a salary? And are we all untrustworthy to an extent? I hope to find the answer to those questions.

    Hey Sarh those are some good questions to ask about money. In today's socitey people are doing illegal things to get money not think about the positve ways to earn money.The first question you asked go back on the things people do these todays to get what they want no matter who they hurt in the process.

    Thanks, Jessica. Do you believe that to be a good thing or a bad thing? I guess it really just depends on the situation and morals of today's society. I, for example, couldn't see me doing illegal actions to get something I needed. I need to consider that I'm not in a bad situation though. I do think there are other ways than choosing the fast way and making illegal actions.
