Transcript:

The contemporary world has changed dramatically in the last decades. The reason lies in the fact that it has become more consuming than it used to be. The development of new technologies triggers the necessity for money. That is why people start working harder and harder. On the one hand, such an obsession with money may be related to individual psychics. The person realizes that money has become an integral part of human existence and he/she feels miserable without it. Consequently, the individual starts satisfying the demand for money by working hard. On the other hand, the obsession with work is a kind of social disease. That means that people are influenced by social need in work. It does not matter whether this type of work brings satisfaction or not. People work because everyone works.
