Mahatma Gandhi quote
I think the message in Mahatma Ghand i´s quote is that the earth can provide all the things we need to survive, but not all the things we want and think we need . What I also think he is trying to say is that we humans with enough money to survive, should stop being so greedy and think about the people who don’t have any money. I guess you can say every person that has the money to survive is greedy, because we always want more and more of what we don’t have. I will admit I am like that, but I wish I wasn’t .
Have you ever though that you will die if you don’t get the pair of shoes you really like or the jacket or the sweater? Well, let me tell you something, you won’t die. Think about all the people in the world who barely have enough money to buy

I think it’s so amazing and good that the you guys have decided that our school should become more environmentally friendly. I am speaking on behalf of me and my classmates and I am here today to pitch in some of the ideas we have come up with to help you make our school “go green”.
First, I think one of the most important things is to recycle our garbage, which means our school must kildesortere . Me and my classmates suggest that we put up garbage bins with blue bag for plastic, green for food, white for the rest garbage and of course one for paper. We believe that this will help our school a lot, it will for example help with garbage in the halls and classrooms .
The second thing s we came up with was not giving out papers. For example, when we have an assignment or a test, don’t give out papers with what we need to learn, do everything over Itslearing . That also goes for when we have tests and quizzes, we should do everything on the computer and not on paper, because trust me, that is going to save the school a lot of paper, and money because paper is not free

    “Greed is a bottomless pit which exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching satisfaction.” Greed is society's worst enemy. We need to be more thankful for what we have, but today in society commercialism and advertising makes it harder than ever to avoid the bottomless pit. We need to try extremely hard not to want what we can’t have. As humans, we thrive on the idea of what could be, not what is.…

If they had only looked out for each other and worked together to get settled in they would have probably suffered less. On the other hand, when money is the one and only thing on your mind and you have the sense of ‘every man for himself’ then of course all you 're going to face many obstacles in your…

    United States charities that aid countries in poverty are not often helping those countries the way they should be doing so. For Example, when America gave Haiti supplies such as food, clothes and shoes they may have helped Haiti’s immediate issue but when they gave Haiti all of these things it made it difficult for businesses to sell something that could be obtained without purchase. The solution to Haiti’s lack of supplies shouldn’t be solved by dumping bulk items that ruin their market but by assisting them financially in a way to set them up for success in the future. In the documentary Poverty Inc. there was a discussion pertaining Tom’s Shoes.…

    Greedy is a trait shown in “The Odyssey” which it has a negative effect on today's world, and on me as well. Having more than others, and believing you can win anything easily is a good sign that selfishness is shown in the Odyssey and today's society. For example Odysseus’s men, “ignored Odysseus warning not to feast on Helio’s cattle” (937). Even though the men were hungry, they ate the cattle which belonged to the god’s. There greedyness caused the god’s to get angry at Odysseus and his men, which got his men killed.…

    The great Reverend William Lawrence of Massachusetts once said, “there is a certain distrust on the part of our people as to the effect of material prosperity on their morality.” In Mohandas Gandhi’s speech, “Economic and Moral Progress,” Gandhi’s focal point is differentiating between the monetary growth of society and the chastity that one embodies. Throughout the course of time, mankind has proceeded to tie itself to the concept that our progression and prosperity as human beings in the field of economics and fiscal matters are pivotal for maintaining and living in a flourishing and thriving society. Gandhi juxtaposes an individual’s lifestyle choices with our grasp of how far morality extends within our lives. These two unparalleled…

    Greed is a concept conceived by man in his attempt to gain more power. Our Greed for power is the main reason we inhabit other lands.

Look at the Walton’s of Wal-Mart fame, the four main heirs is equivalent to the bottom 40% of Americans” (Solnit).…
