Original
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.
Revision
Money seems to have a big role in our society; one cannot do much in life without it. Money is valuable in different ways, even though it is not always physical in form. In today’s society there must be faith in the government that the peoples money would be safe; if not, then the act of stashing money would be the most viable way to go about things. I have no clue what happens in the banks, or how they take care of money. I always thought money was simple; people have money or they 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.The depositor doesn’t ever see the money being deposited. When employees are paid, they receive a paper check that can be cashed out to ones bank account, all the while no physical money being seen.
