Money is of major importance in today’s society. If you have an abundance of it, it could vault you into a life of friends, leisure, and fame. Contrarily, a lacking of it could leave you with absolutely nothing but shambles. Indeed, that is the point William Hazlitt attempts to make in “on the want of money.” By using appeal to prosperity, contrasting of ideas, and the idea of ethos, Hazlitt effectively persuades the reader that money is needed to achieve their desired goals.…
As Dr. Dean points out, “Television, billboards, newspapers, other people: they’re all screaming at us to get money.”(Dean 2008). This tells us that people will try to get more money because everyone else is apparently doing so. This also points out that everyone is getting pressured to make more money because they want to be a ‘Good Member of Society’. As Dr. Dean points out, “Where are the messages telling us that it’s OK not to go all out for cash money? Barely audible.”(Dean 2008). This shows that lots of messages are encouraging us to get money. That points out we hardly see any messages saying that it is OK to not make much money. Although we get pressured to make money it does not help make us anymore…

Many people dream of being rich and successful, and while this is not necessarily bad, it is how you implement that money in your daily life that defines you as a person. Working hard, long hours for your money is one thing, but when your goal is to spread your wealth amongst your peers is another.

As Maya Angelou once said “people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” Angelou understood the truth that evades this generation; that fame and money mean nothing if they are not backed by…
“Some scholars have pointed [money’s] role as an incentive, insofar as people want money in order to trade it for prized goods or services. Others, however, have deplored money for undermining interpersonal harmony.” (Vohs 1154). Of course we work in order to make money. However, money should not be made just for the fact of making it. Vohs’s article notes that money makes people feel self-sufficient and independent of needing help from others (1154). This self-sufficient feeling spurring from money is an outcome of society’s definition characterization of success.…

2. Benjamin Franklin said “Money has never made man happy, nor will it; there is nothing in its nature to produce happiness. The more of it one has the more one wants”. The desire to earn more money cannot be made independent from man. Same desire keeps the status of money as a motivator alive. According to Maslow theory of needs, it is impossible to survive without fulfilling basic needs of life. These needs are physiological, security and sense of belongingness. In today’s material world it is not possible to acquire the needs like food and security without money. Money makes the mare go and it is rightly so.

Rewards and incentive offered by the organization push workers to produce desired results which when combined together help the organization for its ultimate aim.

Moreover various researches have repeatedly proven that money can't buy you happiness but, a survey reveals today, that being in control of your finances most certainly does. A study conducted at ‘Aviva’ (largest insurance company in the UK) shows that people earning more than £50,000 are not blessed with more self-esteem or confidence, while good health is seen as twice as important as the capacity to earn more money.…
