There are many problems in the world, like poverty, starvation, war, and everyday crimes, but what causes these problems? The government, the world leaders, or was it us? In my opinion, I think its money. If you don’t have money you can’t survive in this world, because money has such an important value in society, that it can get you almost everything you want in the world, like phones, laptops, cars, and even a mansion, but what does money get you in life, and why does it have so much power, and if you did know how would you think of life then? What is money? Money is a piece of paper or coin that can be exchanged to buy or get goods or services, but in today 's society it’s almost the root of all evil. It’s the reason why robberies happen, since making money is harder than stealing it. Other ways to make quick money is by drug dealing or smuggling, and they are both illegal.

Money can do many corrupt and cruel things, but let me talk about benefits of having money. The world is not going to give up on not having money any time soon, but some good things of having money is giving it to charity, and that helps the people in need. Giving away money to foundations like to Cancer Research, or to Canadian Feed the Children, finding a charity on the internet is easy as walking, and you don’t even need to give away money. You can give canned food, and your old clothes to the homeless shelter, volunteer at the animal shelter, and more. Money can do good things in the world, it just matters how we use it, but we have to remember, as we can use money for very good things, we can also use it to do very terrible things in life which can affect the world, no matter how little it is, like what Benjamin Franklin said, “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.” Hi, my name is Dilakshi Jemeamlouis, and this is my speech, on how money influences the
The Money Men by: H.W. Brands US History AP Mr. Lee 2nd Period Student: Justin Baker Chapter 1: The Aristocracy of Capital Political: How did the federalists and antifederalists decide the US should run its money system? Ideological:
The issue surrounding the wealthy class and their abundance of money is one that has been prominent for a long time. For many, the seemingly endless fortune these elite class people sit on has been deemed to be unfair and unnecessary, especially when there are people around the world who are not making enough money to obtain basic necessities. Peter Singer, a professor of bioethics, believes that the solution to this monetary problem is for the wealthy to simply donate money they don’t use on basic necessities back to the people in need. Although giving back to the less fortunate could potentially help in fixing many problems, prosperous people should not be obligated to donate money they “don’t need” to various organizations because since
“Money can’t buy happiness.” “Money isn’t everything, its just paper.” Anyone who has ever grown up without money and lamented about it has heard these kinds of phrases many times. In looking around our culture and society today it would be hard to say those statements are true.

William Hazlitt composed his passaged, “On the Want of Money” to express that “one cannot get on well in the world without money”. Although many believe money is not necessary to be happy Hazlitt provides his audience with a substantial argument that money is needed to live happily. Within Hazlitt’s sharp excerpt, he uses several different rhetorical strategies to strengthen his argument and express his views on the importance of money.

The common moral of many well known stories is that money doesn 't not equate to happiness. You can live life without money and yet maintain a blissful life. In "On the want of money" however, an essay written by William Hazlitt, the author outright denounces this cliche idea and points to money as a key ingredient to a prosperous life. He claims that money is one 's life line to success in this materialistic world as without it, you will be subjected to the constraints of poverty and it 's harsh effects.

Can money bring you happiness: many Americans believe that having lots of money can bring happiness? However one writer, Gregg Easterbrook, in his article, “The Real Truth about Money,” promotes that having a lot of money in your pocket doesn’t bring happiness in this world. He writes this article to persuade his audience that money doesn’t bring happiness. Easterbrook begins building his credibility with personal facts and reputable sources, citing convincing facts and statistics, and successfully employing Logical appeals; however, toward the end of the article, he attempts to appeal to readers’ emotions weaken his credibility and ultimately, his argument. In his article, Easterbrook starts his article by showing people how life has changed since the World War II and the Depression eras of life, and then he outlines that people that people spend lots of their time trying to keep up with the norms of life and draws the comparison that people who have higher income have depression or unhappy with themselves.
My idea of money was not far from that same thought. When you think of how many people have gained their wealth through selfish and corrupt ways, it is kind of hard to not have this thought process. Money can drive people to do things that they would never dream of doing. In his speech, Francisco d’Anconia speaks of how money demands our highest virtues. He talks about men who obtain their money through compulsion or by favors, instead of by consent or by hard work.
Low income families do not just get the title “poverty” branded onto them, but they have much more negative effects attached to the label. These families in the bottom third of the income group suffer immensely and this does not solely affect the family as a whole, but it affects each and every individual included. After several readings about how these families are affected, it is important to point out that children are the most unfortunate because of long-term damages. The long-term effects of children in low income families include developmental, psychological and emotional effects.

What money can do for you is what is really important. Money gives you freedom and choices. What I learned from my investment classes is that investing is important.
