Money rules the World


A matter of considerable controversy is the fact whether money rules the world. There is no doubt that money provides people with the possibility to have access to basic necessities as health and education as well. However, while money is seemed as a requirement in order to have a comfortable life, it can not be denied that money is often believed to be main culprit for causing conflicts among people, what is more among countries.
To start with, many support the view that money enables people to fulfill their necessities which range from basic human necessities, for instance food and clothes, to unimaginable sophisticated things, such as jewellery and masterpieces of sculpture or painting. Furthermore, it is often argued that money influences in people’s relations. This is clearly illustrated by the fact that wealthy businessmen are more respected than ordinary people. Another major advantage of money is that it is believed to be vital for survival given that in the field of medicine many improvements were achieved in order to save lives due to the opportunities offered by money.
On the other hand, many people claim that one of the factors in life, which overweighs money in importance is health. Despite the fact that those people who are in high income and are able to afford the best medical care for their relatives, money is no a guarantee for a longer healthy life. Health is a blessing that money can not buy, several people suffer from terminal diseases and although they belong to a high society, their condition can not improve despite all the money in the world.
Finally an additional drawback of money is the clash that it causes among people, not to mention the fact that money is the main cause of conflicts between countries. It is generally suggested that many wars were started by powerful countries with the sole intention of gaining more economic powers. Therefore, many people who live in a powerless country are deprived of the means to obtain proper nutrition and health care.
Taking everything into consideration, the obvious conclusion to be drawn is that money rules the world given that money is necessary to fulfill our basic necessities and to improve health cares as well. However, I firmly believe that money does not provide us with a longer or better life due to the fact money is not the solution to many things such as terminal diseases or peace in our world.
