Does money create monsters?
Oh! Absolutely.
Materialistic is always the fundamental characteristic of a
human beings from the beginning of time and to now. This human’s characteristic is genetic and
nothing can ever change it. Monsters are
more than just hideous scary looking creatures with strange abilities anymore,
but a normal human being can be a monster by the action that he/she takes. Actions that categorize to be monstrous are
the ones that hurt and/or put tremendous hardship on others. For an example the movie “The Wolf of Wall
Street” cast by Leonardo DiCaprio and others can be a monstrous example in the
finance industry. The movie is about a
stock broker that sells penny stock to people with less knowledge about penny
stock by doing a “pump and dump” scheme.
Penny stocks are very profitable if you play it right. What Jordan Belfort did was that he manipulated
a penny stock segment by buys all the stocks in that segment. By doing this he can drive the price up. He might bought one stock for .02$ by buying a
lot of stock in that segment he can drive the price up and with the price that he wanted then he will sells the stock for that price. By doing this he was able to made tremendous
profits but the people that bought his stock lost all their money. Jordan Belfort looks perfectly fine but the
action that he took categorize him as monstrous to his victims because they’ve
lost all their savings.
Monsters are everywhere in every aspect of everything. Greed is the main ingredient to create a
monster. Look back in history almost
every wars were started because of greed, which range from Asian to Africa to
America. Millions of people had died because
of it. Greed has had created the most monstrous
monsters in history and will continuous to because greed is one of our genetic makeup.
