Answer 2

is greed an essential human quality?

Greed can be found in almost any culture or society in the world, but what is it and why has it become so widespread? Greed can be described as "an excessive desire to acquire or possess more than what one needs or deserves, especially with respect to material wealth" (dictionary.com). The degree of greed has certainly taken on a whole new level in the past few decades. One might suggest that greed is just part of human nature. Are we not always striving for more? We send our children off to college and hope that they will come out with an education that will allow them never to have to worry about money. The questions are, will we ever actually stop worrying about money even when we already have enough to live well on, and how can this plague of greed be suppressed? Both money and greed are everywhere, and they have had some very negative effects on this world.

We need to realize the fact that first we need to be human and without greed also we can survive.

Greed is an essential Human Quality and is neccesary for most people.

The Most Powerful Nation on Earth is The United States of America, a dominant economic and military hegemony...the system of trade is based upon capitalism.... without greed one cannot survive simply because without greed you have a lack of incentive to work or gain a large amount of money.

Greed leads us to become rich overnight and to do any unfair or unethical job to fulfil the dream, thus degrading our moral quality.In Hindu religion, people have been advised to abstain from greed ,by offering everything to God through devotion and sacrifice.
