Blog assignment 3: Money corrupts human

As we learned about the Capitalist Monsters the last week, we also learn how the greed can drive people into the monstrosity just like Satan turns human beings into werewolves. Since the presence of capitalism, we have been chasing for money and turn it into some kind of powerful monster that we eventually become its slaves. Everyone needs the money for their living. Most people study hard and work hard only for the money. However, if we cannot keep it under control, money can easily trigger the greed devil inside us.

One of the practical problems in my country is that the young people usually use the power of money to show off. These people do not actually make any money but they rely on their parents who are very rich. With the expensive items their parents give them (such as smart phones, cars, luxuries, etc.), they try to draw attentions and gain popularity from their friends. This eventually makes the other people who do not have a lot of money also try to join the property races. So where do they get the money for those luxury things? They have to either ask their parents or get the money illegally (stealing from their parents or other people, get involved into criminal crews, etc.).

Another example in the contemporary world is the counterfeit goods from China. Everything can be fake in China and the most cruel thing is that they even make fake ordinary food items from plastic. They make meat, vegetables, rice, eggs, etc. from plastic and other chemicals. They also do not hesitate to put toxic chemicals into the food to make they look nicer in order to attract the customers. They exploit the cheap production processes and cut down the prices in order to make more profits by doing so but it creates insane health problems for the customers and their people. Money and profits has corrupted their minds.
