As you can see, I chose money as my template for this blog for many reasons. First, I want to talk about it as a physical object. The color of money is green, which represents life/renewal. It can also represent safety, growth and nature. On the negative side, it can represent greed and jealousy. Personally, I see money as a positive color because I believe life should always be viewed in a positive perspective.
One of the biggest concepts on money is that it is the driving force on why people do what they do every single day of their lives. Why do people get up early in the morning to go to work? to earn money. Why do people go through years and years of education? To get a good paying career to earn more money. Money bring happiness and joy to our lives because it can be used to buy what we want and enjoy our lives much more.
On the other hand, money can bring just as much evil as it can happiness. Some people say "money is the root of all evil" People can be so greedy when it come to money. Since everybody is all tying to get the same thing, it creates a sense of competition within us all. I don't really want to go into detail, but people have done really bad things in order to obtain more money.
In conclusion, since I view money as a symbolism of people who work hard and reap the benefits of their hard work I chose this template. It also provides a representation of life and growth, which is the reason I took this class so that I can growth my career and have a better life.
This is a pretty interesting background. Money means so much to so many yet it also means something completely different to others. Speaking of symbolism have you ever read about the symbolism used in our money. Very interesting, heres a link. https://www.philadelphiafed.org/education/teachers/publications/symbols-on-american-money/
ReplyDeleteIt was really interesting to read your thoughts about the money. I have never thought that the green color of the dollar could have so many symbolic meanings. I think it would be fascinating to compare different countries and see which ones decided to use one color on all of their money like in the US and which countries decided to use more colors. And why.
