An Open Letter To Society About The Dangers Of Money

Dear fellow humans,

Our world is run by money. People work to earn it and work to spend it. People fight, scream, cry and die over money. Doesn't that sound silly? But when you think about it, you've fought for your money. If you ever got ripped off on your paycheck or were not paid the right amount, you probably screamed and cried because you were upset. That's not all money does.

Money is love of no limits. People love money, sometimes more than living humans. Love in itself is a crazy thing. People will do "whatever" it may be in the name of loving money.

Money harms and destroys. It tears families, friendships, and relationships apart. It can harm people physically, mentally, and emotionally. On a larger scale, wars between countries have begun over monetary disputes. Why do people wish death upon others for money? What good does that do?

Money is greed. People want more and more. There is no end. In today's society and especially in the economy, being greedy with money is common. Every aspect of life revolves around it, resulting in selfishness and the dramatic occurrences we all become acclimated too.

We only wish for peace with one another in terms of money. But until then, every dollar, every cent, means someone out there will "die to have it."

Sincerely,

a fellow human

Here's a personal archive of a few of the things I learned after going away for the first time.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
