(OLD) 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.
(NEW) Money seems to have a big role in our society, and advancement is restricted without it. Money is valuable in different ways, even if its not apparent. In today’s society, there should be faith in the government and in the banking system that money is being handled in the proper manner. If not, then hiding money around the house is the second safest bet. I have no clue what happens in the banks, or how they take care of your money. I always thought money was simple; either it is tangible or not. However, being introduced to this assignment, the Yap Fei, US gold, French francs, Brazilian cruzeros, and debit accounts now seem similar. money is never actually seen transferred, just inferred. When getting paid, the cash is not tangible until taken out of the ATM, trusting the fact that the money is real now.
