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 Version
Money seems to have a big role in our society; we can’t do much or get far if we don’t have any. Money is valuable in different ways, even if it can’t be seen physically. In today’s society we put trust in the government and banking system to handle our money in the proper manner; if not, we would begin to hide our money under mattresses or around the house. The banks don’t explain what they do or how they take care of the money. The concept of money was always simple; we either have some or we don’t– that’s it. However, being introduced to this assignment, the Yap Fei, US gold, French francs, Brazilian cruzeros, and debit accounts all seem similar. People don’t see their money being transferred. When payday comes around, workers aren’t handed cash, they receive a check, and the money gets transferred into their bank account, and they have to trust it went through.
