"big question" part 2; by: Sharon Gonzalez

Hi guys. So this is my presentation on my big question by me, Sharon Gonzales.

My big question is why do we bring so much important into materialistic things?

Does money buy happiness?

So my first clear example,

I would love to use the movie the Great Gatsby as many of us may watched it before.

So the Great Gatsby

is um it's a great movie and an example of money can't buy happiness.

So first the author wants to describe the actor

Tom Buchanan as the wealthiest character and the biggest bully

daisy Buchanan becomes greatly influenced by money and because of it,

she makes careless decisions.

The author then uses God's will demonstrate the negativity

of money and how it can affect the person.

And the novel the Great Gatsby by f scott Fitzgerald negatively portrays

money and the ultimate and how ultimately it says money is corrupt,

so the movie pretty much the whole time

is showing how Tom Buchanan got to be the person he he becomes

and why he has so much money and when he marries daisy Buchanan,

she becomes a great part of that world and

and it's a great example of how money can change you

and not necessarily for positive things. Always.

So a quote that I took out that Tom Buchanan said was

now I don't think my opinion on these matters is final,

just because I'm stronger and more of a man than you are.

So he also believes his money lets him justify for racial slurs?

Like he said in this one,

this video demonstrates a corruption of money

through Tom Buchanan to begin arrogance is an

unfortunate equality associated with people of power

and wealth and tom is no exception.

So we have the opportunity to look at someone who has

all this.

Money throws the hugest parties, has a huge house,

has so much people surrounding him, but he's never really internally happy.

He just likes to portray he is to make it look like his life is perfect,

but when he's alone, he really has no one.

When he marries daisy, he realizes that life is not what he thought it would be

and he didn't think he would be this unhappy

because he figured that money would solve everything.

So in the next I want to,

I chose out a quota says money can't buy happiness positive soul can.

So some might say it depends on who you ask,

but social scientists might say it depends on how much, how much you have

learn, how money affects your levels of happiness,

why more isn't necessarily better and why more might actually be worse.

So as I read more and more articles and books

of this topic,

I realized that a lot of people who on on the media

or in books or in shows show how happy they are,

they only do that. So

others think that just because you have money you can be happy,

which I know I'm not the only person who believes that

uh we love money, we all have money,

but I am a strong believer that it will not cure everything internally that you have.

I feel like it goes beyond money and that money

should not be the most important thing in your life,

which goes on to David and Goliath.

So this is a book by Malcolm Gold Gold. Well Gladwell,

So um something that I took out, I took out of all this is David,

New size doesn't matter.

It is a hard courage and commitment that matters.

Apply this to life and situations you live on a day to day basis.

So

a person who all they can offer you in life is money

will not bring positivity into your life. They will just bring materialistic

things into it. And

it's something that you can always take on to or trust people while they're doing it.

You have to know to offer people more than what is materially their materialistic

lee there because people will not will not last you in your life.

And a lot of people who run through your life using you and

and it's not something everybody wants

For the next one.

I chose these three, I chose a GIF and two different memes.

So I put money with um

with the word spending in it

because money,

we all spend our money on unnecessary

and unnecessary things and unnecessary things,

but it's not things that we actually need.

And I put money so much money because

a lot of people focus on

the amount they have in their bank account

and I put

a little Jeff from the Simpsons because

this is a person worried,

I feel like a lot of times we raised a lot of money and we don't realize

how much we're spending it on what we're spending

it on and the little importance it has,

but then we make it a big problem.

All quotes to choose from

Benjamin franklin, his money never made a man happy yet.

Nor will it, the more a man has, the more he wants instead of filling a vacuum,

it makes one.

So I think this doesn't only necessarily mean for a man. I think it's everybody.

I feel like the more we have, the more

ambition we want, like we're very ambitious,

we want to work for more and there's nothing wrong with working for your money.

That's that's the purpose, that's the sole purpose of working.

We want to be successful in life,

we just have to know how to balance success with money

and knowing how to handle it.

So these are some quotes that I chose out.

The first one is money can't buy happiness, but it can buy your dream car

and

I want to point out that all the quotes I put here,

most of them actually um are a clear example of how people justify

that just because you have money and you buy something you want,

it means you're happy, so you can have your dream car.

But

I firmly believe that

to be considered

a millionaire

in my opinion

is when you have

what you actually love

around you. So

for many it could be family. For me, it's family.

Like I feel like I have it all when I'm with my family

and buying a dream car is a gnat on, it's not like the sole purpose of my life,

it's not something that without it, I'll die. So

these quotes like johnny Depp quoted, money doesn't buy your happiness,

but it buys you a big enough yacht to sail right up to it,

which money helps us in a way to be a little stress

free when paying bills and paying house when paying your car,

but it's not the key purpose to your happiness

last year agreed you cannot have a positive life and a negative mind by Joyce mir.

So in conclusion, I just want to say that for me,

money does not buy happiness nor do materialistic things buy your happiness.

What buys your happiness

is what you have inside your heart,

what you show people what you portray yourself to be asked and how hard you work

for your things and not necessarily to waste

them on unnecessary objects or materials or places,

but more so that it's an add on to your life.

If you do have the pleasure of doing this thing, there's nothing wrong with it,

as long as you balance out. The difference between being happy and having money.
