PART III: Discussion Topics

Money and Young People

  1. Why do some parents give their children money to spend each week?


    Some parents give their children a weekly allowance to teach them about money management. It helps children learn how to budget and prioritize their spending from a young age, which can foster financial responsibility.

  2. Do you agree that schools should teach children how to manage money?


    Yes, I believe schools should teach children how to manage money. Financial literacy is essential for making informed decisions in the future. Courses on budgeting, saving, and investing can equip students with skills they need in adulthood.

  3. Do you think it is a good idea for students to earn money while studying?


    Yes, I think it’s a good idea for students to earn money while studying. It teaches them time management and responsibility. Having a job can also help them develop skills and gain work experience, which is valuable for their future careers.

Money and Society

  1. Do you think it is true that in today's society money cannot buy happiness?


    I believe it's partly true. While money can provide comfort and security, it doesn’t guarantee happiness. Strong relationships and fulfilling experiences often contribute more to a person's overall happiness than material possessions.

  2. What disadvantages are there in a society where the gap between rich and poor is very large?


    A large gap between the rich and poor can lead to social unrest, reduced access to essential services, and increased crime rates. It can create a sense of division within society, making it difficult for lower-income individuals to improve their circumstances.

  3. Do you think richer countries have a responsibility to help poorer countries?


    Yes, I believe richer countries have a responsibility to assist poorer countries. Providing aid, education, and resources can help improve living conditions and promote global stability. It’s a moral obligation to support those in need, considering our interconnected world.
