I turned the price label to check the price. I was astonished and felt dispirited. It was listed $495. “ Wow! That is more than what I expect. ” I murmured to myse...

the root of all evil, I see money as the root of all people”- Joey Bada$$. Money does truly run the entire world, and is the reason why most wars start. I believe we are able to blame money on people becoming selfish. Before there was a little piece of paper that meant the world to people there was still a currency in place. People used trade instead of cash, however I still believe it to have been a competitive way of trade, people most likely bragged if they had something better than the rest.
