Good morning to my teacher and fellow classmates. Today I will be talking about something that has captured the hearts and minds of many. I am of course talking about; money. We have heard a saying over the years, “Money makes the world go ‘round.” The editor of the CMA magazine seems to think so. I too share his sentiments and I would like to explain why.

Not only has the worth of money changed, also the importance. Money has become so important in our live, that we could not survive without it. You could not even buy something to eat. You would end up being a poor homeless person. Even if you try harmonizing with the nature to survive, it would be almost impossible nowadays, unless you are living in a tribe.

Tribes have learned to live naturally and have adapted to the nature, while industrial countries have invented artificial goods for everything. Even if we haven’t noticed yet, living without money would be inconceivable. What makes money that popular, though?

Nowadays you need money for your whole life; for clothes, food, shelter and even water costs. You may know the proverb ‘Money doesn’t bring happiness’. It’s very controversial. Half says it is wrong, the other says it is true. But would you be happy without a cent? Since money is a large part of our life, you need at least a little bit of money to be happy.Money has become the fuel for all of our actions. We are constantly thinking about money, indirectly or directly, whether we realise it or not.

We wake up every morning with the sole purpose of eventually making money. But why do we do this? Why is money so important to the world? Why can we not just have everything on a silver platter? Well in a world riddled with so much chaos, money is a constant. It is something that we as people can revolve around. Money gives us a purpose and provides a mould for which we can shape our lives.

This does not mean that money does not come with its problems. This problem comes in the form of poverty. Nowadays poverty exists all over the world and it is increasing rapidly. Many people have lost their jobs because of money. For example new machines have been invented and now do the work, which a person used to do. All because the company had enough money, and they wanted to produce as much as possible.

I would like to end off by saying that even though money breeds poverty and poverty breeds crime and crimes leads to many other problems. Money is still the best known way to shape our world into what it is. Money is not just paper and coin. It is the structure on which our world is built on.
