Is money important in your culture? Are people classified according to this criterion or are people respected because of other elements? (Education, achievements, family, personal character, etc.)?

The money is the most important things in our life to get all things we want.
In our culture: you can buy all the books in the world but you can't buy the information in this book, and put it in your head.
There are many people talk to you because you are a rich man.
But people respect you because you are a good man

the money is very important in my culture because all the people they looked for the rich people. The rich people buy the man and woman to satisfy,but the poor people they don`t have the opinion.
but my opinion, the money can`t doing the people.

money isnt everything in life but its a good material for a happy life.
in my culture money is so importat because lebanon is the country apearance. some people classified yhe other by their money , and the other by their degree . in my opinion i classified the person by his degree because no one should depend on his parents , and money dont make people.bye 10xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Today we live in a world wich subject is MONDIALISATION so the poor people had became more poor and the rich become more rich .So we need more money in our society to satisfy our needed because evrything had became more expensive.On the other hand some people use money for apperance and, they are not interrested about the poor people.

MONEY IS IMPORTANT IN OUR CULTURE, BECAUSE WHITH MONEY WE CAN GET EVERTHING WE WANT LIKE FOOD IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THINK IN LIFE BECAUSE WITHOUT IT WE DIED . AND OTHER THINKS LIKE CLOTHES, HOUSE...
BY THE WAY, MONEY DID NOT MAKE A GOOD PERSON WHO IS RESPECTED BY ALL THE PEOPLE . ALSO A GOOD PERSON IS THE POLITE PERSON AND WHO RESPECT ALL OTHER PEOPLE IF THEY ARE POOR OR RICH .

in my culture money is so important ,,it s the reason for our work ,our studys,our life ,,,,but there are many things you can t buy ,the respect ,you can t buy respect ,because if we talk about the true love and caring and friend ,,the people will love you for your personnality not for your money ,,you can be a very important and rich man and you think every body loves you but no ,,they love your money ....with money you can buy a house but not a home ,,you can buy a bed but not a sleep ,you can buy sex but not love ...so with money you can do every thing exept the respect and pure happiness ,.,.,

money is very important in our culture because un our culure it is a criterion ,the person that have money will get a special places in the government or in any place this olace would give him also special respect from people and after time he would be like a celebrity and well-known person every body finger on him this is a bad thing also this person will wear a formal cloth and get a new car and a new mobile all these appearences will help him to be more well known and more respected i do not believe in these things i beleive that the person gets respect by the degrees that he will take by studying hard.

No body can forget the role of the money in our life, but we shouldn't consider the money the base of our life.
By the money we can solve a lot of problem and in my country a lot of people like apperence so the money is the best tool to this problem so they put the money like the most important goal in her life.
But a lot of culture people classified the money that is a paper to organise the life and it isn't the most important thing in this life ,and i agree with this majorite of people.

I think money is important for our needs but it is not every thing in life.Most of the people in our society think that money buy every thing but that is wrong. They think that appearances make respect .

[ghassan_g101]

Nowadays,money is a very important tool in our life,but you can't get everything .
On the first hand money could help you to solve your problems and it makes your life easier , for example you can buy a car to arrive on time ,and you can get a mobile phone and call your familly at any time you want .
On the other hand money couldn't bring the happiness,for example you can buy a castle but not a sweet home and kids.with money you could buy people but not respect.
At the end if the poorer got a 50$ he become very nervous and don't know what to do, and if the richer became a poor men he will be in the same situation.

[mermade]

Many people think that problems can be solved by money.
This is a wrong way for thinking because their are a lot of people rich in the world but they don't posses what they really want .
For example , maybe by money we can do whatever we want like travel arround the word , buy things that we love .........
But people that don't have children they can't bought them and they can't bought feelings and love. money as come can go. But when love and family and education come don't go in an easy way but it still something in our head.

[alalina56]

Nb:Our society need more love and less paper .....i think that money is so important in my culture and also in the others societies because by money we get our personnal satisfaction or our needs.
There is a little exageration in my coutry about the way that we qualificate a person ..i mean that the most of people care about appearences and if a person have a good position in the country so all the people try to be close to him however he's worth or good and however how is becoming rich.And we cant refuse this situation or ignore it bcz it's the truth .In addition people are not blind :they know what they are doing but the conditions in my country obligate them 2 be like that (they are searching always to clout with someone �the poor people become more poor and the rich more rich) �
