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 is the modern day catalyze for success and it’s uses are beyond payments. The modern day has built a reliance upon the government and banks to handle all of the circulating money. Yet, the average person believes that one has money or doesn’t. That same average person also wont know what the banks do with it. Works like the Yap Fei, US gold, French francs, Brazilian cruzeros, and debit accounts are great enlightening tools for the average person to learn. Paychecks are not tangible. One must trust that the bank will back the promised amount with their word.
