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.

Revised:

Money seems to play a huge role in society; there is not much that can be done if someone has no money. Money is valuable In many ways, even if it is not physically present. The people of a nation must have faith in the government and banking systems that they use. If they do not have faith in them, people would have to stash money around their house. Money is a concept that is much more complicated that commonly believed. Money nowadays is not physically present most of the time from online banking, direct deposit, and usage of debit and credit cards. Understanding the concept of money leads to the understanding of how all forms of money, such as the Yap Fei, US gold, and debit accounts are all extremely similar.
