Can money buy everything: the marketisation of society?

1Up for sale.

2Civic values/good. That makes do no honour can’t buy.

In my opinion I think that almost everything is up for sale. We live in a society that you can buy whatever you want. For example, if you want to ski in the middle of the desert you will do it if you have money, but can you buy everything?

There is a quote in Spanish that says that everybody have a price. In philosophy last year our teacher asks this question: Will you eat your father at any price? Some people said that they won’t eat his father "not even for all the gold in the world"?  I remember that I said that I will eat my father’s body (death, of course) for 50 million euros. Some people say that they will never eat their father simply “because he was their father”. I don’t know, we live in Catalonia and we have the fame of be stingy. Moreover, my father has a sentence “la pela és la pela” that means that money is important. Because I’m the kind of person that thing that money brings happiness. Now maybe you are thinking that I’m a wretch, but wouldn’t you be a little happier with 500 euros in your hand and a little less happy with these 500 euros in my hand? You don’t have to answer because I already know the answer.

It’s sad this way of thinking? Yes, but it’s the nowadays mentality. Money can buy everything. If you are in a desert and you want to ski, what do you need? Money. If you are hungry, what do you need? Money. If you want to study, what do you need? Money. Do you want to travel? You won’t get very far without...MONEY.

You need money to live, although you aren’t agreeing with. That’s how we works, that’s the way of thinking of all the planet, that’s the reason of study, of work of live. We live to work, and we work to earn money. Why? To spend this money. And then what? Work to earn more money, to spend it again, that’s our live. Easy, isn’t it?

BORN, WORK, DIE.
