ConcludeWealth, one of the main goals for millions of people in the world, but what is wealth? Wealth is the idea of owning an abundance of valuable possessions or money and using them for personal pleasure rather than to help other people. The notion of wealth can have a rather negative aspect. But I believe that this idea of wealth cannot only concern physical goods; it can be the idea of being spiritually rich, mentally rich, physically rich and many more. All of these philosophies of wealth have been around for thousands of years and are still extremely relevant today. In modern society, monetary wealth is the main source of control and power; Most people today see rich people as “more important” or “more powerful” just because they have more money than them. This in turn gives wealthy people the upper hand, with no one to oppose them, allowing them to do what they want. This is the case in many countries around the world. In some countries it varies slightly depending on whether governments listen to the people, but by taking more influence from these wealthy people, it is on very rare occasions that these people are treated the same as middle and lower class families.
