The Process of Meaning and Worth
Introduction
The essence of human nature instills us with different variations of what makes a person, place or thing meaningingful to us at an individual level and to us as a society. Everyone finds and places significance according to many different variables. Some place meaning by the age of what is in question, the history and possibly by the sheer amount of it. The one that that has a universal meaning and consistently insist on placing a specific value is the monetary system and the currency that is the fundamental part of it. Money is the thing that fuels our modern society and when the material integrity of something is compromised it suddenly looses value and is no longer desired. The Process of Meaning and Worth challenges the unwarrented values of the world that surrounds us and explores the concept of money and the influence it has on us.
