Money in moderation9:52am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Doyon

Yes9:52am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jake

eveyone has greed but that doesn't make you greedy9:53am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Evan

I think there are levels to greed, some can have the tendency to be more greedy than others9:53am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by emily

Is having a little bit of greed a bad thing or is a little bit a good thing?9:53am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jacob

I think you can be wealthy and moral (not greedy)because yes, they want more money and its notenough. but depends on how wise they spend it9:53am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by lauren

If I have ten candy bars and I give one lucky kid in class one of them, but eat the remaining 9, am Igenerous?9:53am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rich

no9:53am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Ryan

okay, 29:53am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rich

I agree with Kaitlin when she says that you can be financially wealthy and moral if you use yourmoney for the right reasons and don't spend9:53am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Abby

srupid money9:53am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Abby

i agree with jack9:54am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Derek

I'd say 3/49:54am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Ryan

u want to make more money not because you want to, but youre scared of losing it all. incasesomething were to come up and u have to lose al9:54am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by lauren

i think everyone has to be greedy in some way, but does it make you a bad person if you'regreedy?9:54am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by abbie

alot9:54am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by lauren

you are generous but you can still be more generous. there's always room to improve.9:54am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Matthew

okay, fine, I'll give out three, but will eat seven...very, very quickly9:54am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rich

but i also agree that everyone is greedy to a certain extent because it is a part of human nature,but sometimes is beneficial9:54am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Abby

I think that if you invest your money into good and honest things then you can't be that greedy.It's okay for someone to spend their money9:54am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Sean

they worked hard for it9:54am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Sean

If someone worked really hard to be wealthy, can't they be greedy?9:54am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jake

did they work hard for it or were they born into it?9:54am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Doyon

definitely those who have money want to keep it9:54am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Ryan

are the people that are born into it entitled to it?9:54am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Doyon

I feel like everyone has a different definition of greed, i don't think someone who is rich is greedy.9:55am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Adam

why9:55am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jack

No I believe they have to earn it



9:55am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Ryan

I feel that your own life should be your priority9:55am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Adam

and then worry about others second9:55am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Adam

Its okay to be greedy every once in awhile. sometimes you have to put yourself before others.9:55am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Matthew

I think if someone has a lot of money they buy more expensive things because they can, but theycan still think of others and donate things9:55am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jocelyn

i agree with adam. get yourself into a safe position in live then help others9:55am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Evan

just because you are rich doesnt make you automatically greedy, it is what you do with yourmoney9:55am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by emily

isnt being a greedy a prerequisite to being rich9:56am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Doyon

But if you put yourself first then its not always greed. sometimes you have to.9:56am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jack

I think the people that use their money wisely are those who had to actually work for it, theyappreciate it more @ryan.9:56am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Sean

are we all wealthy though @ryan h.9:56am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Ryan

i agree with emily, what you do with your money makes you greedy9:56am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by madi

If you work hard for your money, should you not reward yourdelf?9:57am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Adam

yourself*9:57am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Adam

what about the type of greed that goes along without money? greedy for attention or forinformation?9:57am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Evan

If you help yourself over others sometimes, its not greedy9:58am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jack

I think that you should definitely help yourself and take care of yourself, but I also think that iteventually becomes a little excessive.



9:58am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jacob

I think that story is a metaphor for the world right now where the kid is all the oppressed peoplethat the rich make their money from.9:58am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Sean

it is almost impossible to make sure you aren't wearing or buying anything from a sweatshop orbuy food that hasn't been processed.9:59am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by abbie

If we're considering the conditions of other countries, that would make everyone in Americagreedy because we all consume things from third9:59am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Maria

world countries9:59am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Maria

good point @ Kolby10:00am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jack

Koby*10:00am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jake

I think that in the end, there is a point that we can't help this life style. we can only do so much toright the wrongs that have already10:00am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jacob

Are we inherently Greedy or do we develop greed as we grow.10:00am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Sean

been made10:00am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jacob

I think if someone is born into wealth they are more likely to be greedy than someone who wasnot10:00am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jocelyn

everyone wants more sean but i think we grow up to develop our morals on greed10:01am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Evan

That is true @Maria, it makes it hard for Americans to not seem greedy.10:01am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Julia

I agree with jocelyn, if someone is born into money it would be hard for them not to be greedy10:01am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Hannah

Yeah it depends on how you grow up @Sean. Wealthy people are not exposed to poor people'slives and vice versa10:01am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Maria

I think we are born into a society that makes us automatically greedy but our greediness canincrease or decrease based on how we use our



10:02am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by abby

wealth10:02am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by abby

we all want to be successful but does that make us bad people?10:02am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by abbie

But what if a child was born and raised in an isolated town where he had no contact with any otherthings except the people there. would he10:02am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Sean

be greedy @evan10:02am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Sean

i dont think that wanting to be successful makes us bad people10:02am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Abby

No. there is nothing wrong with success. Its what you do with that success10:02am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jacob

you have to take care of yourself but there are ways where you can give more to others10:03am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by sydney

i feel like when people have less, they learn to appreciate things more because they have less10:03am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by emily

lots of people in America struggle to get by too. I think we are forgetting that10:03am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by abbie

I agree with emily10:03am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jocelyn

You can still be greedy if youre not wealthy though10:03am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Adam

I think everyone should want to be successful. If you don't want to succeed, then there's aproblem.10:03am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Matthew

if you use your success for the betterment of yourself and your surroundings that is considered tobe okay, but sometimes what is better fo10:03am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Abby

I agree @emily. It also depends on what your parents' morals are and what kind of person theyteach you to be10:03am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Maria

wealth doesnt mean greed, it's merely a factor10:04am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Evan

r you is worse for others. is it still okay?10:04am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Abby



Yes @abby, take care of yourself first.10:04am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Adam

I think you have to weigh the options and how your actions will affect those around you @abby10:05am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jacob

some people can call it greed, but some people call it jealousy as well10:05am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by lauren

How's everyone's morning?10:09am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jake

So what I mean is that the wealthy could always appear to be greedy and I think people have to beaware of the hypocrisy when they call...10:09am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Ryan.h

Quite swell @Jake10:10am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Koby

others greed when in reality they too will have times when they are greedy.10:10am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Ryan.h

I really liked what Koby said about how the danger of society is that because we think others aregreedy, it is okay for us to be10:10am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jessica

thx jacon u that realest10:10am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Abby

imagine the arrogant proffessor who doesnt care about his students10:11am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Doyon

I think it is okay to be greedy. Greed doesn't necessarily mean money. You can be greedy for aposition, for attention, for love, etc.and...10:11am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Kaitlyn

I think that some teachers try to feel powerful depending on the situation but I also think thereare those teachers that just want to make




a difference10:11am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jacob

What you think dewey?10:12am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jake

that's okay.10:12am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Kaitlyn

5. very few are powerful and not financially wealthy. Of course teachers aren't wealthy but couldbe considered powerful because of their...10:12am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Ryan.h

influence10:12am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Ryan.h

i agree, power does not always come with financial wealth. There are many different wayssomeone can have power without having wealth.10:12am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Ty

I don't think teachers go into teaching so that they will feel powerful. There are many other fieldsthat offer more power than teaching.10:12am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jessica

When i hear, greed can help you, i think about what i was always told, "be greedy with youreducation". so i think greed can be good10:13am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jacob

Individuals with power (celebrities) are given wealth once they're famous, with the exceptions ofreligion (Mother Theresa) and the dead10:13am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Koby

the way we show teachers appreciation here may not be the same way students at other schoolsshow appreciation10:13am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Dustin

power also stems from respect. a parent that isnt respected has no power10:13am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Doyon

I agree parents are powerfull they raise you teach you morals, and then once you become an adultthey still have power over you10:14am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Ryan

Were all powerful to some one, even us as seniors seem more powerful than freshmen. But, wearent famous and rich.10:14am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by lauren

Why don't teachers get paid more?10:14am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rich



people are greedy and dont want to pay higher taxes to afford a teachers higher wage @rich10:14am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Doyon

should we privatize education, then?10:15am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rich

true power doesn't always "show their face". Besides the government many companies thatinfluence the country aren't in the public's sphere10:15am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Ryan.h

There are other countries where being a teacher is very respected and they get paid a lot morethan they do here10:15am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jocelyn

You can be greedy and still be a good person. Again, greed isn't always a bad thing.10:15am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Kaitlyn

people people are paid based on taxes and the rich are give large tax breaks, which in the endhurts stuff like teachers saleries10:15am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jacob

teachers*10:15am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jacob

privatizing it makes it unaccessable to those with less who cant afford a tuition10:16am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Doyon

i agree with kaitlyn. greed doesn't mean you are different, it makes you human.10:16am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Dustin

I agree with Kaitlyn, greed isn't always bad, and we're all greedy in some way10:16am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Hannah

which is why there is always the argument to tax the rich more but the influence politics and wontlet that happen.@jacob10:16am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Ryan.h

they*10:17am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Ryan.h

just because we are all greedy, does it mean that we shouldn't try to limit or curtail it?10:17am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jacob

So pretty much, the more people know your name, the more power you have?10:17am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jake

If companies controlled education they would educate on their own interest.10:17am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Ryan.h

yep. @jake10:17am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jacob

Bc CheeseMe2k right Jake

your Network= your Net-worth10:18am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Ryan.h

Yes @Jake that's one of the factors. For ex., if you are friends with the counselors or principal andyou get in trouble for something....10:18am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Kaitlyn

Things like t shirts and other merch can get your name out there10:18am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Dustin

it is true that privatized education would have biased cirricculum, but that is already true.10:18am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jessica

you areless likely to be punished because you are friends with someone who has more power thanyou.10:19am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Kaitlyn

schools sell merch. Should teachers get the revenue from that10:19am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Doyon

youtube.com/cheeseme2k10:19am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Dustin

Wow, Nathan. Good point.10:19am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rich

Spending like 500 dollars in shirts and making profit off it, should you be greedy?10:19am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jake

people with power have more influence10:19am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Dustin

does wanting to be the best make you greedy?10:20am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by emily

I very much agree that greed is hidden. Everybody wants to be successful. Just because we do notactively say we want billions of dollars,10:20am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jessica

we still want success10:20am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jessica

And greed comes within success.10:20am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jessica

Why does someone wanting to work hard and make something out of their life make them greedy?10:21am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Leah

Define success10:21am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Alex

No. the betterment of self is natural and healthy.




Good question, Leah.10:21am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rich

I agree with Evan. People aren't always thinking about the next way they can ruin someone's life ormake more money, but rather how they...10:21am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Kaitlyn

Push back.10:21am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rich

I mean success in the generalized term. Being able to support yourself comforatbly.10:21am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jessica

can have the best lifestyle.10:22am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Kaitlyn

And working hard is not the problem. That is a good thing. But greed sneaks in.10:22am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jessica

I don't think it does make somebody greedy @Leah10:22am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Julia

Got to break the bank to make bank. #Cheese10:22am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jake

so where is the line where it changes from being a success to living in excess?10:22am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jacob

Even if you're using your money to "help people" you're still seeking the power to distribute itwhere you want10:22am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Koby

Maybe once people reach success they sometimes forget what it took to get there, which in theend makes them greedy10:22am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jocelyn

i agree with jack that we all are a little bit greedy, it is kind of apart of western culture to begreedy and get as much as possible10:22am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Ty

I think some people end up only thinking about themselves when they try to be successful, whichmakes them look greedy.10:22am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Matthew

everyone is greedy and your a hypocrite if you truly believe you aren't. But that doesn't makegreed a horrible thing. It is situational10:23am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Ryan.h

greed becomes a problem when you let your greed overcome your values and morals10:23am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Ty



I agree, it is a part of western culture to be greedy. in america having the most is almosteveryone's goal10:23am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Hannah

I disagree with adam. I feel that that is greedy because its putting your wants over anotherpersons needs.10:23am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Doyon

People should do things for themselves but they also need touse the resources and power thatthey have to make a positive difference in...10:23am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Kaitlyn

I'm with Nathan, putting yourself first is greed10:24am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Koby

the world or someone's life10:24am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Kaitlyn

youtube.com/CheeseMe2k10:24am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jake

I disagree with Adam also. If you are prioritizing everything about yourself, then you never willcare about others.10:24am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jessica

pp10:24am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Dustin

You ready10:24am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Dustin

Some people completely neglect their own needs for other people though @Doyon. How is thathealthy?10:25am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Maria

but if you don't put yourself first then aren't you putting someone's happiness ahead of yours,wouldn't that be greedy on the other person10:25am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Evan

So what youre saying is, if you work all you should throw all that time and work into others?10:25am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Adam

Yes10:25am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Koby

you need to make yourself happy before anything10:25am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Adam

*s part10:25am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Evan

and that could mean making other people feel better



10:25am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Adam

but if you dont make yourself happy first what kind of life would you be living10:25am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Adam

I agree with Adam. How are you going to help others if you can't take care of yourself.10:26am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Matthew

I agree w adam10:26am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Maria

Adam is god10:26am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jack

people who work harder than others should be able to spend their money any way they want.otherwise no one would want to work hard.10:26am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Leah

does it make you greedy if you go to college to be successful or are you just taking advantage ofyour opprotunities?10:26am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by abbie

you can make yourself happy not only by doing things for yourself but by doing things for others.10:26am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Kaitlyn

what defines hard work tho. Should manuel labor be paid more than a desk job? who is workingharder10:27am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Doyon

you need to make yourself happy, but your happiness shouldn't depend on what you have/don'thave (other than like food/water/shelter etc)10:27am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Hannah

Charity isn't meant to be done to make you feel better10:27am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Koby

I think that throwing everything into other people sounds naive because it is a simplistic way ofdefining a problem.10:27am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Ryan.h

I agree with Hannah10:27am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Maria

money doesn't buy happiness10:27am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by abbie

You can still try to help people, and if they don't want help then that's all you can do. All you cando is try.10:28am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Sean

Like it is a good concept but is such a simplistic solution to the large problems we have and leavesspace for little discussion.

Does a guy selling insurance, making six figs a year deserve to make more than the guy miningcoal making 4 figs10:28am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Doyon

You should still make it clear that you are available to help, but you can not force them to acceptyour help.10:28am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jessica

Helping others when we don't have too is part of being a good person10:28am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jocelyn

Im not saying dont help others. Im saying help yourself first10:28am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Adam

But some people use charity to make it seem like their not greedy when they really are10:28am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jack

Go Jake10:28am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Koby

Why should you work hard if you know that someone else will do everything for you?10:28am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Adam

that's a sin @rich10:29am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jack

Good Job KOBBBBBYYY10:29am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jake

ayyyyeee koby10:29am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by abbie

In the world that we live in it's hard not to be greedy. The world is always saying more is best, butis it better to have more?10:29am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Kaitlyn

people need to do things for themselves along with getting help10:29am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Evan

its better to have enough, not more10:30am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Doyon

but everyone wants more10:30am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jack



thats the problem @jack10:30am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Doyon

See but thats the thing, i respect your morals as a christian, but some people have differingopinions.10:30am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Adam

so does that make you greedy for thinking your opinion is worth more than others?10:31am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Adam

greed will always be around, it's a part of life10:31am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Evan

a greedy christian does sound like an oxymoron to me.10:31am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Doyon

good call @doyon10:31am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jack

I agree w Doyon. Just because you call yourself something doesn't mean you automatically adhereto the values10:32am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Maria

I agree that you can never please everybody. There will always be someone who will look at youand say that what you are doing is greedy10:32am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jessica

i agree with maria as well10:32am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jack

greed is a part of life. Christians are people too there is no way to achieve perfection10:32am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by abbie

Right but what do the people do with what you give them?@koby Like personally that sounds likea very poetic way of wording the problem.10:32am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Ryan.h

Like my question to you is what does that look like?@koby10:32am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Ryan.h

but if theyre rich and drive nice cars and wear nice clothes could they really be called a christian?10:33am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Doyon

are they really living up to what it means to be christian10:33am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Doyon

Ryan makes a great point, if you give what you have to others, and they take it, that makes themGreedy right?10:33am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Adam

Why is not greedy when someone is poor and wants to make money but if someone is richer andwants to make money it is greed????????



10:33am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jack

If you're happy and making money at the same time are they greedy?10:33am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Sean

So youre just giving away greed10:33am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Adam

I've seen real poverty, and like Nathan said, you're helping those people to have enough10:33am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Koby

What about Joel Osteen?10:34am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Alex

Are the people in poverty Greedy for accepting it though?10:34am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Adam

@jack, if they're rich they already have enough to take care of their needs, where poor peoplesometimes don't10:34am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Hannah

so what you all are saying is that if you want to be a "real" christian you have to be poor?10:35am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by abbie

At least that person is trying to make a difference. Its the Little things count10:35am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Kaitlyn

Does it matter how you get your wealth?11:43am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rich

Yes, it has to be in a legal way11:44am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Collin

Ghandi was very powerful but not wealthy at all.11:44am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Nathan

It should be at least11:44am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Collin

Yes i believe so there are those who piggy back on others wealth with no effort whatsoever ibelieve it all depends on how you obtained it11:45am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Kaitlyn

I don't think it is fair to say that a wealthy person does not understand the way other people whoare not as wealthy live.11:45am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Michelle

It is very crucial what you do with the wealth that you are given.11:45am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Macki

you don't have to be powerful to be wealthy you just have to have influence over a large group ofpeople11:45am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Cameron



I do think its different because she worked hard for her life11:45am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Grant

So was Jesus: he is arguably the most influential man in history and he was a carpenter. Lots ofpower, no wealth.11:45am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Nathan

yes i think she did work hard so that's a different situation11:46am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Kaitlyn

your wealth does not shape your actions11:46am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Francis

I agree with Macki, there are many people who use there wealth in a positive way and give tothose who are in need.11:46am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by devyn

Ghandi was born into a wealthy family, he was a lawyer who studied abroad before becoming whathe had become. @Nathan11:46am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Karthikeyan

i think if you put effort and struggled through the hardship you've earned it11:46am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Kaitlyn

Well he made himself nothing to bring light to his situation11:46am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Nathan

Most of the 1% didn't inherit the wealth that they have- if you only think people who walked intotheir wealth are greedy, that's not many11:47am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Josh

I think people tend to group all wealthy people together and represent them with a greedystereotype.11:47am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Michelle

The cost of living is much higher in terms of taxes, but that doesn't go to say that the Rich aren'toblivious to the rest of the world11:47am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Collin

They most definitely are11:47am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Collin

I agree, he did leave all his belongings behind to work for what he believed.11:47am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Karthikeyan

I think that people who say they are middle class while making $200,000 or more really alldepends on the life style they live11:48am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by devyn

What do you all think is power?11:48am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Macki



Power can be anything(almost)11:49am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Karthikeyan

The ability to influence, whether it be by force, with money, etc.11:49am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Collin

power is the influence you can make11:49am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Francis

Being able to influence a wide amount of people11:49am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Haley

I do not think the definition of middle class should change according to the area.11:49am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Michelle

I think class is defined by where you live... $200,000 in California is low middle class because thecost of living is so high.11:49am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Nathan

People have different expectations for their life and what they believe is 'normal'. Middle class isseen differently for everyone.11:49am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Anna

Power is a very vague idea i think it has both good and negative connotations11:49am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Cameron

power is the ability to change things and form similar opinions to yours in others to be able totake something and shape it to your own way11:50am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Kaitlyn

Middle class is different for different countries11:50am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Collin

You can't live a wealthy lifestyle there on $200,00011:50am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Nathan

i agree nathan11:50am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Shane

I agree with Cameron. It's how you handle the power.11:50am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Macki

Popularity isnt the same thing as power- I think at a certain point, if you're wealthy enough, you'reofficially powerful11:50am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Josh

I think there are different types of power. I think having influence is the most important part ofpower but there are more outlets of power11:50am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by devyn

priests are not usually wealthy but have a lot of power11:50am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Francis



A person making a million dollars a year might consider himself/herself to be part of the middle-class. Everything is based on perspective.11:51am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Karthikeyan

Their power depends on who you're asking @francis11:51am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Collin

its about power but its also about greed and how people from different classes handle things.11:51am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by abby

Is Bill Gates greedy?11:53am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Karthikeyan

Bill Gates runs his own charity foundation, so I wouldn't say he is perosnaly11:53am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Collin

personally*11:53am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Collin

there are 32 owners in the nfl and 1600 players, and most of the owners got their moneysomewhere else11:53am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Josh

i agree with Collin, he makes more money then someone could ever use but he is using it to gooduse.11:54am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Cameron

There are quite a few people at this school in the top 1%, it's literally one in every hundredamericans and more than that in oldham county11:55am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Josh

like Warren, Bernie Sanders has 3 houses... Sounds hypercritical to me11:55am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Nathan

Bill Gates built his company in his own and changed our lives through technology. We are allgreedy by nature but I wouldn't say he is extr11:55am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by devyn

you can have money but it doesn't necessarily mean you are going to put it to bad use11:56am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by abby

extremely greedy11:56am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by devyn

LeBron James11:56am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rich

What is considered as "bad use"? Is using the money you earn to buy 3 cars greedy?11:56am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Karthikeyan

I agree with abby. You could have all the money but your actions are what determine the poweryou have.



11:57am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Michelle

Most definitely it is greedy, yes11:57am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Collin

You're flaunting your wealth if you buy 3 cars. You only need one in all honesty. Some could argueyou don't even need one car11:58am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Collin

But what if there is a necessity for spending money in that manner? @Collin11:58am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Karthikeyan

When would there ever be a necessity for 3 cars for one person11:58am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Collin

I think the use of how wealth is spent is relative it can be viewed as greedy by some but theremight be some good with it as well11:58am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Cameron

Exactly @Cameron12:00am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Karthikeyan

was obama more powerful than trump?12:00am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Shane

even though the government gives us a leader doesn't mean that people will follow12:01am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Brett

He has a whole 30% of people supporting him12:01am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rohan

i thought the supreme court had more power than the president or legislature12:01am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by j

That depends on what aspects you're looking at and what sides of the political spectrum you fallinto12:01am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Collin

Obama had a more explicit effect on people. I don't think Trump has that12:01am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Karthikeyan

I think they have the same power when it comes actually being president, but then the powerdiffers when it comes to supporters.12:02am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Michelle

I think both trump and Obama are powerful in their own ways12:02am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Cameron

I think Obama had more power than Trump because Obama did more for the people than Trumpis doing.12:02am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Haley



I think trump invites hate on himself. The reason hes percieved is because of the way he acts notthat his actions or thoughts are bad.12:02am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rohan

According to him, his actions and thoughts are good, it all comes to perspective.12:03am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Karthikeyan

Trump gained popularity due to the hate towards him. Everyone thought he was a joke and nowlook where he is12:03am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by devyn

^12:04am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Nathan

I agree with Rohan, Trump does not have a filter and that can be good in some situations but inmost it is just inappropriate.12:04am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Michelle

The idea of taking a knee does so much more than just addressing the viewers, like right now weare talking about it in our class seminar12:04am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Brett

Trump had power in the world before campaigning for president12:04am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Collin

there is teh idea that being noticed, for good or for bad, draws more attention. more power evenif they are unpopular12:04am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by j

Trump has a lack of filter that is refreshingly annoying12:05am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Shane

the nfl players had to use a extremes so that people would notice the issues that nobody wouldtalk about12:05am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rohan

Trump may have gained popularity from democratic hate, but many republicans actually agreewith the decisions he makes12:05am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Collin

Power taken the wrong way can easily separate groups of people creating larger diversity. Are wein that situation or headed there?12:06am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Macki

is trump dividing the country?12:06am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Shane

Do politics belong in sports?12:06am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by chase

no. leave sports alone12:06am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Shane



I think we are definitely in that situation and have been in that situation for a while. @macki12:06am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Michelle

Its not that politics belong in sports, its that every player has the right to support their beliefs nomatter what.12:06am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rohan

I think power doesn't always mean that people think positively of you. Trump has a lot of powerbecause of the impact he has on people12:07am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Lily

I don't think I could find a correlation with sports and politics if I tried12:07am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Collin

if people want to express themselves politically in sports they have that right12:07am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by j

They do not belong in sports but think of how influential this has been with them taking a knee12:07am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Brett

I don't think that Trump is dividing the country, he might be making people come together(Even ifit is to point out the mistakes he makes.12:07am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Karthikeyan

just becuase they have a camera on them and they are popular does not mean they have toanswer to anyone but themselves.12:07am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by j

Is Trump Racist?12:07am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Shane

I don't believe that politics should be in sports but the athletes will use their outlet to voice out onanything they believe.12:08am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Cameron

Everybody is naturally racist to a degree12:08am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Collin

That's just how the world was cultured12:08am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Collin

How is everyone naturally racist collin?...You choose your own beliefs12:08am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rohan

I've gotta disagree with that @collin12:09am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Michelle

I disagree Collin, I think racism is acquired depending on how/where you grow up12:09am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Lily

??? i dont think we are naturally racist. Maybe you were thinking stereotypical12:09am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Taylor



Being racist is a choice12:09am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Michelle

i agree with lily12:09am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by j

Jesus could transform water into wine, for that time period I think that he was wealthy12:09am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Karthikeyan

You don't have to publicly display racism to be racist. We all have subconscious thoughts12:09am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Collin

I do not think anyone is naturally racists, I think people develop it depending on how they wereraised.12:10am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by chase

I think you might be generalizing too much12:10am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Michelle

nelson mandella said hate is taught not inherant12:10am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by j

Also, like I said, to a degree we all are, that could metaphorically be a fraction of a percent12:11am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Collin

As much as we don't want to admit it racism is still prevalent in our society. Yes it has improvedbut I don't know if it will ever truly g12:11am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by devyn

go away.12:12am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by devyn

i think if you were only a fraction of a degree racist than it would have any impact on life. It wouldbe negligible12:12am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by j

are greedy people Racist12:12am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Shane

wouldn't*12:12am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by j

I agree with devyn but i do not think everyone is racist in some degree.12:12am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Michelle

I agree with devyn racism will never go away.12:12am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rohan

Among individuals, racism will always be prevalent, but in terms of legislation, there is nothing tosuggest minorities are inferior.12:13am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by chase

Racism is learned



12:14am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Nathan

What chase is saying is mostly what I was trying to convey12:15am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Collin

i agree with michelle12:15am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Nathan

just because giving to people is nice doesn't mean you are bad for not doing it12:16am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by j

is clout better than money?12:16am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Grant

yes.12:16am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Nathan

If you bought the candy bars, it's ultimately your decision to do what you want with them.12:16am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by chase

I would think of him as unhealthy and weird, but not greedy i dont think12:16am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Josh

People are not obligated to be generous, but it is moral to be generous.12:16am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Anna

With clout comes money.12:16am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by chase

if i want a candy bar iwill buy one12:16am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Shane

so on that note chase, if you earn money, is it your choice what you do with it?12:16am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Nathan

i think its fair because as a boss you're supposed to have more income than your employees12:16am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Francis

clout and money usually go hand in hand12:16am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Taylor

you usually need money to have clout12:16am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Collin

to get the good stuff12:17am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Collin

money=clout and clout=money12:17am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Grant



^12:17am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Collin

i think the people who are rich and spend and obtain their money in a moral and honst way arenot greedy12:17am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by j

does more wealth really = more clout?12:17am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rohan

If you have Clout are you greedy?12:17am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Shane

$343,000 is the line to get into the top 1%, there are probably people in that percentile in thisroom- it's not just billionaires12:18am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Josh

while the employees may be doing the manual labor, the boss is ultimately the one keeping thecompany alive by running it and keeping12:18am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Nathan

i wonder if rich knows what clout is?12:18am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Shane

its vital operations in check.12:18am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Nathan

clout is defined as "nfluence or power, especially in politics or business."12:18am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by j

#notmyclout12:19am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Nathan

people have the choice to spend there money wherever they want, is being charitable the onlymeasure of how greedy u are?12:19am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rohan

Do taxes count as chairty? Becuase the 1 percent does have a lot of taxes that go towards welfareto help poor people.12:19am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by chase

if you have a ton of money but live like the average American and save your millions, are you stillgreedy?12:20am, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Grant

They don't really have a choice in that1:15pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Henry

I don't think we are obligated to help those with less than us. It is kind to help those in need, butmany brought it on themselves...1:15pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Lauren

I agree with Talon. Those who want more are going to have to work harder for the rewards.1:15pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Braydan

did all wealthy work hard?1:15pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Tristan

If you are born rich, how can you be raised non-materialistic and humble?1:15pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Meredith

How much wealth in our country/world has been handed down from ancestors?1:15pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rich

They have to work hard to be wealthy and maintain that. They take a lot of risks1:16pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Madelyn

Should those who are working hard for their wealth give it away to the poor who don't work?1:16pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Lauren

totallydisagree with lauren people dont want to be poor they dont bring that on to them selves1:16pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by austin

people can work and still be poor1:16pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by austin



But there are poor people who are lazy who do not work for their money and rely on thegovernment1:16pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Madelyn

I suppose it depends on your parents intrinsic values and how they choose to spend their money.@meredith1:16pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by madeline

what defines poor?1:16pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Meredith

Many people are given opportunities they don't take. Failing college, then becoming poor.1:17pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Lauren

What if you had access to 5 millon dollars to invest in either a business or to invest in the stockmarket? Could you make it grow?1:17pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rich

and sometimes people don't have a choice on whether or not they work, Lauren.1:17pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Randi

does college determine how greedy or wealthy you are?1:17pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Tristan

you can be "poor" and "wealthy" in many different ways though1:17pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by haley

In Beauty and the Beast, the beast as a human child is born into a rich family. But grows up with aselfish father and makes him selfish too1:18pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Braydan

Right, Haley, so let's just stick to financial wealth.1:18pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rich

Agency.1:18pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rich

Some people are born into poverty. @lauren1:18pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Trinity

Do you think people get jobs in enforcement because they grew up without power?1:18pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Meredith

People's work ethic doesn't always reflect how wealthy they are. There are people who work hardeveryday and will never make what others do1:19pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Sam

yes meredith some people need that power to feel good not all cops arelike this but some peopleare like that1:19pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by austin

Honestly, I feel bad if I'm not giving to those who need it.



1:19pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Henry

I feel like greed is inherited.1:19pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Braydan

Financially, i think higher class people are more greedy than the lower class ones bc they haventbeen through what they have.1:20pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by haley

What other factors besides money makes someone greedy?1:20pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Ashley

It should come from the heart, but is it bad if people give just for publicity?1:20pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Henry

i dont just mean cops, any job with power. People will pursue a career like that because they werebullied or oppressed or unfairly treated1:20pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Meredith

Are there examples in life of people giving away their riches in order to live a "better" life?1:20pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rich

They're still helping1:20pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Henry

It's not the wealthy peoples responsibility to help the poor. is it good? yes of course but no one isowed anything.1:20pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Justin

I agree with Brandon. The powerful get richer and richer while leeching off the unpriviliged.1:21pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Braydan

I don't really believe we are born greedy, we are taught greediness1:21pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Trinity

i agree with Trinity1:21pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by haley

I feel like people are more greedy if they are raised with money as opposed to those who are not.it reminds me of eating something like1:21pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by madeline

What do our religious teachings tell us about being charitable?1:21pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rich

Not all rich people are bad people who screw over everyone underneath them though1:21pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Madelyn

Isn't there an entire TV show about people buying as tiny homes as possible?1:21pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Henry

that it is expected1:21pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Tristan



cake, once you taste it, you want more1:21pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by madeline

I think both the wealthy and the poor are leeching wealth. Many choose to be "poor" to get govtmoney1:21pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Lauren

"better to give than to receive"1:21pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by haley

If wealth is earned honestly, then they don't OWE anyone anything, but if they choose to give it tosomeone in need, it's their choise1:21pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Meredith

I agree with Trinity. Just like the Beauty and the Beast allusion mentioned earlier.1:21pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Braydan

If there's an afterlife, will Greed land us in hell?1:22pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rich

But what if you dont believe in hell?1:22pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Madelyn

It shouldn't be about owing anyone anything, giving should just be a natural thing to do.1:22pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Henry

depends if you think greed is a awful thing1:22pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by austin

I agree with Braydan, it is derived from wealth and success.1:22pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Mile

If greed landed us in hell, heaven would be pretty empty. It's in human nature to gain value1:22pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Lauren

Being consumed by your greed will land you in hell but just having a lot wealth won't1:22pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Justin

Is that why people are greedy--because deep down they don't believe in hell--heaven--or God?1:23pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rich

So if someone is wealthy, earned it themselves honestly and uses it to live a nice life, does thatmake them a bad person?1:23pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Meredith

Maybe, or they like having the finer fancier things in life1:23pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Madelyn

being greedy doesn't send you to hell.1:23pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Trinity

I agree with Lauren people are constantly wanting more and more1:23pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Sam



What, if there's a hell, would land you there?1:23pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rich

Greed is classified as one of the seven deadly sins1:23pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Henry

I know many people who believe strongly in God and heaven. Yet some are the greediest I know1:23pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Lauren

Can I murder someone but accept Jesus as my savior, am I okay?1:24pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rich

Yes1:24pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Meredith

in the christian faith, not believing that god sent his son down to pay for our sins is what sendsyou to hell.1:24pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Trinity

If there's a hell, deciding not to believe in God would land you in it. Otherwise, you can commitany sin1:24pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Lauren

And still go to heaven1:24pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Lauren

Your sins aren't what send you to hell.If your sins still sent you to hell there would be not point ofJesus dying on the cross for our sins1:26pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Trinity

people praying on my downfall1:27pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Brandon

As a human race should we strive for equity? Would a world in perfect equity be good?1:28pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Talon

Good question, Talon.1:29pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rich



Well equity sounds a lot like socialism, which it is based upon1:29pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Zach

Is equity even possible in our society?1:29pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Ashley

no because no matter what people will always complain about equality1:29pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Meredith

Do you have things that help define who you are?1:29pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rich

no1:29pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Tristan

Yes1:29pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Madelyn

that would be like a utopia1:29pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Brandon

That's something to strive for, but we'll never ultimately achieve it1:29pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Zaubi

What's your most precious thing?1:30pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rich

Equity is possible if everyone is willing to tear down the fence of stereotypes and prejudice.1:30pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Braydan

utopia is an unreachable goal1:30pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Tristan

It makes us all unique and we become different people based off of our struggles1:30pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Madelyn

my xbox1:30pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Brandon

Jacob... come on.1:30pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rich

I think a society in complete equity is utterly impossible.Not only do people not have the morals todo but we do not have the resources.1:30pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by madeline

I think equity does not promote those of us who are fit to contribute to society. Realistically,equality would work better1:30pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Lauren

Everyone has different moral views so it would be very difficult1:31pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Madelyn

I see benefits in both though



1:31pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Lauren

Perfect equity has been sought after in civilization before. we have seen the outcome.1:31pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Talon

seriously, if someone said you could save someone else's life in a third world country by givingaway your xbox, would you? Or would others?1:31pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rich

Not successful1:31pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Madelyn

I would require the priviliged to giving up some of their excess wealth and lend it to those whoneed it the most.1:31pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Braydan

I'm not just talking to Bran..Jacob.1:31pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rich

*It1:31pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Braydan

You literally cannot give every individual person exactly what they need to "suceed" (which isrelative) to standards someone else decides1:31pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Meredith

But if someone has worked hard for what they have should their possessions be taken away fromthem1:32pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Madelyn

is it ok to be greedy depending on your situation?1:32pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Tristan

i mean i guess id let them take it but im keeping my exernal storage so i can buy another one1:32pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Brandon

I tell my son that he should share with his sister, but he often doesn't want to.1:32pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rich

Why is it bad to be greedy? couldn't that be a sign of ambition?1:32pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Alexander

If we have equity, what's the point of a lot of things. If a janitor is living the life of a millionairethen why be a physicist?1:32pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Zaubi

True Madelyn. And that is what people would have to overcome for this system of equity to work.That is why it seems "impossible."1:32pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Braydan

Why are we so intent on teaching kids to share with one another, but then as adults it's "youearned it, you can do what you want--even if..




i agree with Austin.we always look at those who are rich more than those who are poor.1:32pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Alana

No ,if someone worked hard to obtain their possessions, no one should be able to take them fromthat person.1:32pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by madeline

it's unkind.1:33pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rich

We would lose all motivation to better ourselves1:33pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Madelyn

I think it is unfair that many work hard but few are wealthy from it. But most the wealthy shouldnot be blamed for it1:33pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Lauren

but that person might have taken things from someone to get their greed1:33pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Tristan

Who even defines the success someone needs to "amount" to, would we promote people'spersonal dreams or what we think they need to be1:33pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Meredith

exactly, i mowed my yard for w whole summer when i was little just to get my first xbox. thereaint no way that you could make me feel bad1:34pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Brandon

But the state of equity isn't just a one way road. The underpriviliged would have to eventually pickup their slack too.1:34pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Braydan

about myself and make me give it away to someone who hasnt worked for there own1:34pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Brandon

Equity, especially in our society, is not fair.1:34pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Alexander

their1:34pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Brandon

sometimes wealth is acquired by circumstance, which in turn can be seen as unfair1:34pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Zaubi

Money fuels our motivational drive to be better1:34pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Madelyn

Do you think the only way to be successful is to be corrupt?1:34pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by madeline



I would like to dive further into the why we are greedy. At first glance greed seems to be againstanimal nature... but is it?1:34pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Talon

if someone loves you unconditionally, should you take advantage of that love?1:35pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rich

Tim Tebow is pretty successful and he isnt corrupt1:35pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Zaubi

That depends on your definition of success1:35pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Jordan

yes...1:35pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Brandon

talking about the love thing btw1:35pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Brandon

Should everyone have to earn their own personal wealth starting from nothing, disregarding theirparents success, for more equality?1:35pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Meredith

I suppose it depends on why you're taking advantage of that person1:35pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by madeline

You shouldn't take advantage of that love, but we do it all the time1:35pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Trinity

it would be better than to not take advantage of it1:35pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Randi

that's what I'm hearing about Jesus's love. Since he loves you, you can be a jerk, and if you saysorry, he'll say... that's cool.1:36pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rich

Many people don't choose to be poor. But maaany people could have been wealthy and justslacked off. Do we owe them?1:36pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Lauren

Henry brings up something good there....1:36pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rich

motive.1:36pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rich

morally worse but the charity still gets the moneysoooo1:36pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Meredith

I agree with Justin. "..public school teachers and garbagemen making $60K with benefits..."shouldn't be making the same pay as nurses, etc.1:37pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Braydan



No, we don't owe them squat, that was a choice they made @Lauren1:37pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Zaubi

According to the bible, Jesus is always forgiving so I guess you could sin over and over again andstill be forgiven.1:37pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by madeline

If we feel it in our hearts, it's just as bad as acting on it. Right?1:37pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rich

(by the way, we feel things in our hearts. I'm not sure you all knew that)1:37pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rich

If you truly love Jesus you will try your best to not take advantage of his love for us.1:37pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Trinity

um yea we feel are heart beat1:37pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Brandon

But what about taking advantage of humans love on earth?1:38pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Madelyn

If you feel like you need to kill someone bc you're messed up in the head but you resist it you'renoy BASICALLY a murderer, you're justsick1:38pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Meredith

Fine on earth...1:39pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rich

maybe not in the firey depths of hell1:39pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rich

The Greed Is Good article said the seven deadly sins are "human attributes that serve us quitewell."1:39pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Lauren

Do you think this is true?1:39pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Lauren

ill whoop dat a$$ austin1:39pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Brandon

easier said than done right.... 2 completely different things so no1:40pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Meredith

ALL sin is equal in Gods eyes. for example: murder and lying is equal in Gods eyes.1:40pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Trinity

obviously sins are not treated the same because people are sentenced to different lengths inprison1:41pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Brandon

but thats totally crap we know that stuff is not equal in society1:41pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by austin

but that's in our human world @brandon1:41pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Trinity

just like how putting symbols in a curse word is the same as saying it jacob1:41pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Zaubi

Is one lie equal to one murder1:41pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Alexander

so ending a life is equal to telling your parents that you liked dinner when you actually didnt1:41pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Brandon

Well most humans lie even if it's a white lie not to hurt someone are we all bad as murders1:42pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Zach

lying is lying. just because it's a small lie doesn't make it any less of a lie1:43pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Trinity

God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy1:43pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Zaubi

If you eat to excess, is it really greedy if the food was going bad anyways?1:44pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Henry

Otherwise you'd be wasting the food.1:44pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Henry



We know that a man who cusses 1000 times a day is significantly less evil than a man whomurders 1 person a day.1:45pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Alexander

If you choose to donate your money, should you have a say in where it goes or what it used for?Especially if you donate it willingly?1:48pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by madeline

Greed definitely causes us to progress. If scientists and inventors thought nothing would comefrom their creations, theyd probably stop1:48pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Lauren

Is it okay to be a hypocrite?1:49pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rich

Depends what you're being hypocritical about1:49pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Lauren

I think people who deny being greedy are the most greedy.1:49pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by alex

That's a quality I seek out in friends, but .... that's just me.1:49pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rich

Personally, my church takes communion money and gives it to people who come to the pastorsaying they can't buy food that month bc of bills1:49pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Meredith

not for coffee1:49pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Meredith

I don't think Jesus was greedy.1:50pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rich

Sometimes the offering keeps the church up not just to donate it for things they dont need.1:50pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by haley

not all the money, but if they think its okay to spend communion money at starbs, can't theyconvince themselves to do other immoral things?1:51pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Meredith

Henery, would everyone be satisfied if there is no progress?1:51pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Talon

Why do we teach kids to share, but as adults we're told it's okay to hoard our wealth?




yes. because there is so much stuff out there that you could want2:11pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by hunter

even some of the poorest americans make a lot more in a year than the rest of the world, on theworld scale, they are still the top 1%2:11pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by budaaaa

yeah but this is America and we are not as poor as most countries2:13pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by meganb

Is there a percentage of your wealth that you should give?2:13pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rich

One of the articles talked about how people hoard because of the safety value2:13pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by MeganG

hence why we complain and always want more2:13pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by meganb

does society make us greedy or are we born with greed?2:13pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Tanner

hey2:15pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by hank

btu he is a legend



2:15pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by MeganG

so, he still made it to the top2:15pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by budaaaa

*but2:15pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by MeganG

yeah i know that and im saying my opinion just like you are saying yours2:15pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by meganb

true, @megan2:16pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by budaaaa

Does desperation beget Greed?2:16pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rich

if i did what he did yeah i think being greedy is okay2:16pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by MeganG

but he became obsessed with money and drugs and to me, that just seems so empty2:16pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by meganb

actually i take that bad most of the movie was exagerrated2:16pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by MeganG

but that was wild2:17pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by MeganG

that relates to one of the articles2:17pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Tanner

money doesn't make happiness, but when you find 20 dollars in your pocket you forgot abouthow do you feel2:17pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by budaaaa

mother theresa2:17pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by savannah

ok so i just googled rn if jordan belfort ever regret his choices and apparently not2:18pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by MeganG

who would, he had the time of his life, a movie, a book, and a legend2:18pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by budaaaa

i wanted to see if he realized what he did was horrible2:19pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by MeganG

money doesnt make happiness but if you have enough for necessities then it helps because youdont have to worry about it2:19pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Tanner

eh its relative2:19pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by budaaaa



if i had all the money in the world and stepped on people to get there and didnt have anyone thattruly cared about me or i wasnt making (1)2:19pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by meganb

He still did horrible things, doesn't matter if he got a movie or a book out of it.2:19pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Maddie

anyone else happy, i would feel so empty and broken and that's not motivating to me (2)2:19pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by meganb

That's very true Brice. Greed motivates people to be great through the presence of competitionand fear of inadequacy.2:19pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Hayden

Is there any person that was like Belfort but did regret?2:20pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by MeganG

he made hundreds of millions of dollars, I don't think he cares about peoples emotion or opinions2:20pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by budaaaa

i'd rather be broke and loved than rich and greedy2:20pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by meganb

even if he did regret his choices he probably wouldn't publicly announce it.2:20pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Anna

drug lords are powerful and can have millions, do you think el chapo cares about his choices2:20pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by budaaaa

i agree with meganb but some people only care about money2:21pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Tanner

I agree with Anna. Humility is hard to come by with someone that successful.2:21pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Hayden

im talking about being humble and prideful2:21pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by meganb

No I mean like any one realize what they did was wrong and then try to do good2:21pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by MeganG

doesnt mean that greed is right2:22pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by meganb

greed is apart of our socitey we need it so that others can thrive in the world2:22pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Heather

its not right but its reality2:22pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by savannah

right @tanner2:23pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by meganb

We also cheated Native Americans out of their land.2:23pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rich

humans are messed up and so imperfect. greed is human nature but that doesnt make it right2:24pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by meganb

people created greed, we would all do the same be twins and nothing new would ever be createdif we didnt have greed2:24pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Heather

Well we don't have responsibility for other people's actions but we can fix it2:24pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by MeganG

you cant fix greed2:25pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by savannah

im talking about rich's question2:25pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by MeganG

i agree with megan, it is naturally going to occur but that doesn't make it okay for us to do2:25pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Brady

Greed is a part of human nature, we wouldn't be where we are today without greed2:25pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Maddie

we can make reperations2:25pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by MeganG

is competition greed?2:25pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Tanner

in a sense yeah @tanner2:25pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by meganb

it sounds crazy, but I think that greed is all about balance. The balance between people with orwithout greed, also who is incharge.2:25pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by calla

it's pride and fear but that depends on the person2:26pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by meganb

what about in sports, one team has to to be more greddier to win a game. someone always has tobe on top



2:26pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Heather

Have the poor ever overthrown the rich?2:26pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Rich

and in NFL2:26pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Brady

But people are playing to win, not to tie2:26pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Maddie

most people would rather win than lose, thats why you play2:27pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Brady

thats true @maddie but again thats how humans are but that doesnt mean its morally correct2:27pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by meganb

If people didnt want to be greedy why play the sport in the first place?2:27pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Heather

If we've benefited from a grave injustice, how do we compensate for the injustice? Whatreparations should be paid?




i mean high school sports everyone plays to win, at least in football, soccer, basketball.2:28pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Brady

thats why we go to games, to cheer for our team to win2:28pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Brady

would you rather play well and give 100% and lose or cheat to win?2:28pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Tanner

give 100% and have fun2:29pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by meganb

Give 100%2:29pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Maddie

100%2:29pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by calla

is it greedy to want to play well?2:29pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Tanner

But with greed breeding success why cant you give 100% and win2:29pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by brice

there is no point for sports if you cant be greedy2:29pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Heather

thats not greed2:30pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by savannah



I agree with tanner, I don't think that putting in effort and then winning is greedy2:31pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Annie

i think sports has more to do with power and less with greed2:31pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by tarah

would you rather have your team win and play bad, or lose and you play well2:31pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by Brady

no one always ends up happy, we can't sing kumbaya and link arms because someone always willget the short end of the stick2:31pm, Mon, Sep 25, 2017 by budaaaa
