why do humans give more importance to money?

Answer 1

Because money means the ability to provide for yourself and your family also buy some things you want for more comfort.

In ancient days they had no money but they wanted lots of crops or cows or whatever.

It is all about material wealth and money symbolizes that for us today but in olden days it was other things.

Answer 2

There are various reasons, one is that it is a means for surviving in this world. In most places you need money for food and shelter. We no longer live in a hunter gatherer age, well most of us don't. So money is needed.

Some of course will give more importance to money than others. For some it offers a sense of security, for others having money is an end in itself, rather than a means to one. That would relate to both greed and status. Also, the ones who have the money, have the power, can anyone dispute that?

Answer 3

Human beings need identity and they are social animals. In the present world, where love is not valued and material luxuries and branded goods are valued. Man needs the money to earn his identity and social status in the society. and so the world is so busy having no time to love one another and value each other as a human .

Only the human beings ignorant of their real needs rush in the sheep race ignoring all else which is of importance too.

In love there is no asking for identity. rather, love is about loosing of one's identity for the comfort of the other . and even with out asking or expection of the identity, the individual gets identity and love from the fellow beings.

Answer 4

some anthropoligiest believe that we only evolved into fully 'humans' after we invented money. Here is an example given.

Two tribe are friendly. One lives in the mountains and one lives on the seashore. Leaders of the tribes meet and exchange 'gifts'. Say there is a cold spell and the mountain tribe is suffering. They go to their 'friends' on the seashore and show them the token gift that proves they have a history with the other tribe. So the sea shore tribe takes in the mountain people until the cold snap is over. Now, way there is a hot spell, and the process reverses itself. Both tribes have increased their chances of survival via the use of 'money'. Therefore, evolution favors this behavior and those humans who use 'money' survive and reproduce more humans who are attracted to 'money'.

And so it goes.
