, Introduction
My aim in compiling this portfolio was to reflect on the things that have struck me throughout
this crazy module.
My starting point for doing this was to revisit my opinions to the multiple choice questions
which were presented in the Crossroads assignment. I present these current opinions, together
with my original opinions, and some brief notes in the section entitled: “Back at the
Crossroads!”
Once I have done this, I draw some key conclusions about this crazy module and about the
things that did indeed strike me.
Back at the Crossroads!
1. “Greed is good” My personal opinion of what should be done, is most closely described by:
a. It’s not good or bad. It’s just how things are.
b. Absolutely! If it wasn’t for greed we would never achieve anything.
c. I’m not sure. Sometimes I think that it’s good. At other times I think that it’s bad.
d. It depends on how you define “greed”.
e. Absolutely not! Greed is bad. It leads to much pain and suffering.
Choice now: E
Choice in assignment 1: E
Notes: Greed is not good , because it has destroyed the life’s of many. Greed brings pain and suffering
,therefore it can never be seen as good. People who are greedy do not get satisfied , they are selfish
because they want good things to be only theirs. There is no limitation to greedy , it ends up causing
theft and corruption in many cases.
The distribution of wealth is also one of the reason why people become greedy, if only wealth was
shared fairly and equally amongst people , people would not be greedy. Greed is not good , people
are greedy towards wealth and possessions they can even do what ever it takes just to have
another person’s possessions illegally.
“ intense and selfish desire for something, especially wealth, power, or food. “
