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.

Money seems to have a significant role in our society; we cannot do much or get far if we do not have any. Money is valuable in different ways, even when people do not see it physically. In today’s society, people must have faith in the government and the banking system that appropriately handles the money. If not, people would have to hide all of their money under their mattresses or around their house. There is a belief that money was simple. However, being introduced to this assignment, the Yap Fei, US gold, French francs, Brazilian cruzeros, and debit accounts now seem similar. No one can see the transferring of money. When people get paid, they do not receive cash or a physical check. The money is all directly transferred to their bank account, and they must hope that the money was distributed correctly.
