- Money seems to have a big role in our society; you can’t do much or get far if you don’t have any. Money is valuable in different ways, even when you don’t see it physically. In today’s society you must have faith in the government and in the banking system that your money is being handled in the proper manner; if not, then you would have to hide all of your money under your mattress or around your house. I have no clue what happens in the banks, or how they take care of your money. I always thought money was simple; you either have some or you don’t—that’s it. However, being introduced to this assignment, the Yap Fei, US gold, French francs, Brazilian cruzeros, and debit accounts now seem similar. You don’t actually see your money being transferred. When you get paid, you aren’t handed cash, you don’t receive a physical check, the money’s all directly transferred to your bank account, and you just have to trust that you got more money.
- Revised: Money seems to have a big role in our society: we cannot do much in life without it. Money is valuable in many different ways, it may not always be physically. In today’s society we must have faith in the government and in the banking system that our money is being handled properly; if not then we would have to hide all of our money under our mattress or around the house. I have no clue what happens in banks or how they take care of our money. I always thought money was simple; we either have some or none at all. However, being introduced to this assignment, the Yap Fei, US gold, French francs, Brazilian cruzeros, and debit accounts now seem similar. We never actually see the money being transferred, we never physically receive cash or a check on pay day. The money’s all directly transferred to our bank accounts, and we just have to trust that we got more money when we are supposed to.
