I believe that most people are good in their nature, but excessive wealth spoils them. When someone has a lot of money, he becomes less dependent on others. When he needs something, he pays for it. Therefore, a rich individual can become less sensitive and empathic. Money is like a disease: when we get enough, we always want more. We discover new needs and we want to satisfy them on a whim. We don’t know how the rich people in reality shows behaved before gaining their fortune, but we witness their greed and we recognize the fact that the biggest problems in our world result from the gap between the high class and the rest of the society. We still enjoy watching movies and TV shows that depict the shocking lives of rich people, because the capitalist system, based upon the principles of working and making money, imposes the goals they have already achieved. The only conclusion we should come down to after watching such movies is that instead of striving to earn more money and achieve social progress, ordinary people should strive to obtain more
