Money seems to have a big role in our society; we can’t do much or get far if we don’t have any. Money is valuable in different ways, even though it’s not evident. In today’s society, we must have faith in the government and in the banking system that our money is being handled in the properly; if not, then we would have to hide all of our money under our mattresses or around the house. It remains unclear as to what happens in the banks, or how they take care of everyone’s money. Before, we have thought money was simple; people either have it or they don’t—that’s it. However, being introduced to this assignment, the Yap Fei, US gold, French francs, Brazilian cruzeros, and debit accounts now seem similar. No one can actually see our money being transferred. When we get paid, we aren’t handed cash, or receive a physical check. The money is all directly transferred to our bank accounts, and we just have to trust that we will have more money.
