Question

Englih debate topic- money causes more harm than goods

Answer 1

Money = Selfishness In all situations money is a factor: in a group, a workplace, and even a simple get-together with friends. All of these things require money in some shape or form. However, this is not the way it should be. As we've all heard and have been told growing up, "Money can't buy happiness." and that is 100% true. We may enjoy the things we buy and they may bring us momentary pleasure, but it does not bring true happiness the way company, love, or friendship does. Money turns people into selfish, ruthless monsters. Money should be a way to get what we need and want, not to hurt other people and ruin their lives as if they are nothing.
Without money society would be better. Consider a situation in which there is no concept of money in a society. Everyone works voluntarily. For example I am a teacher. I teach students free of cost because i know that the students I am teaching are the children of people who themselves are working voluntarily for the society.
Like I am a teaching a student who might be the son of a farmer. Since that farmer is providing food for the whole society including me, free of cost I would also teach his son free of cost. Similarly i would teach the whole group of students believing their parents are also serving the whole society voluntarily. (like doctors)
In above mentioned case there would be no power, no corruption and no class division. Every one would be equal in society. Thus, there will be no chances of low class being suppressed by high class. But as there is money present in today's society problems like corruption are common. So I believe that money cause more harm than good. And in fact without money society would be better.
Money is the cause of most of the problems that plague modern society. "They are sick that surfeit with too much, as they that starve with nothing" said william shakespear in his play " the merchant of venice". This very aptly brings out the role of money in our lives. Excessive wealth brings with it problems of security and tension, while not having any reduces to penury, making life miserable and not worth living.
This is for, in todays materialistic world, we have assigned monetary value for everything. But, money cannot buy happiness, true friends, good health and peace. It is the cause of most of the problems that plague modern society
