A song from the famous English pop group the Beatles told us that money
can't buy us love. Many people also believe that money cannot buy happiness. In fact,
there is an expression that says money is the root of all evil. However, a new study
from Cambridge University suggests that money can buy you happiness. Researchers
conducted a study on the spending habits of customers in a bank. They compared
what the bank customers bought with their personality. The research team compared
the personalities of 625 people with a list of how they spent their money. The
conclusion of the study was that what people buy can lead to happiness, but only if
they buy the right things.
Everybody agrees money is the tool that solves many problems , it is a means
for living and development. However, it has a bad impact on people, who can easily
violate any legal norm or moral principle. There are certain people whose
individuality and character force them to make poor decisions when given too much
money or power. One of the most evident examples is politicians who are frequently
corrupted, which makes them incompetent and inefficient public servants. Politicians
and civil servants who take bribes, steal budget money or commit crimes should be
severely punished and made to return the stolen money to the budget. It will make the
society healthier, safer and happier. A law must work equally for all people despite
their status.
