Hello, everyone! I’m going to make this podcast as interactive as possible. I’ll provide a YouTube video, along with a lot of writing in terms of money. This question could arise during your examination, so it’s always great to be prepared!
Topic Talk
Money is the root of all evil. Do you agree or disagree?
- I completely disagree with this statement because if money was the root of all evil, how come the world of technology continues to catapult the human race to amazing heights? Sure, some countries fund wars and focus on war budgeting to make more killing machines, but that’s the dying paradigm of the world. This historical perception of what the world is has been long-existing for quite sometime. It doesn’t mean that money is terrible, it just means people are influenced by what money can buy and they use it for bad causes.
Money doesn’t grow on trees. Do you agree with the sentiment?
The best things in life are free. To what extent do you agree?
