(1) Money is a means of distributing material wealth according to work, and is by no means the goal of existence, not the basis of prestige and influence of an individual.

(2) However, for all its official role, money is constantly present in our relationships, and issues related to money provide a wide field for the formation of such qualities as honesty, nobility, modesty, delicacy, and commitment. (3) In addition, cultivating a correct view of the role of money is to instill in children its true meaning, to show its real place among the main values of life: knowledge, creative work, spiritual and intellectual communication. (4) This is probably why today parents are very concerned about the influence of the family on the attitude towards material values, towards money. (5) What should and what can the family do in order to prevent manifestations of petty-bourgeois self-interest, possessiveness, and “materialism” in children? (6) What should and what can a family do to ensure that children who grow up in material prosperity, surrounded by many good and beautiful things, do not end up in spiritual captivity?

(7) At first, no one in the family attached any importance to the fact that little Alyonka, when asked: “Give me a toy,” invariably responded with a decisive refusal, vigorously pressing a rattle or rubber animal to her chest. (8) Soon Alyonka’s character began to cause some concern: she began to constantly have quarrels with children over toys.

(9) Indulgent acquaintances delicately reassured the worried parents: “Come on, it’s a child! (10) Ordinary childish greed. (11) Don’t worry.”

(12) There is a dubious theory that classifies so-called childhood greed as a natural, almost obligatory, age-related characteristic. (13) Indeed, many “little greedy people” grow up to be quite normal, even kind people. (14) Under the influence of upbringing and environment, sometimes without special parental “sight”, positive traits take over in the developing character - kindness, generosity. (15) But this does not always happen. (16) Big greedy people usually grow out of little greedy people.

(17) Due to Alena’s greed, it was decided to declare war - a bloodless and “nervous” war. (18) Yes, Alena had no bad examples before her eyes; she could not observe either pettiness or self-interest in her loved ones. (19) But, apparently, more visual examples of kindness and not playful, but serious explanations were needed.

(20) Now the family tried to show each other signs of attention with gifts as often as possible, and Alena and I often discussed the upcoming gift to relatives or friends. (21) We tried to make the girl see how loved ones easily and happily give up to each other even what they wanted to take for themselves. (22) Grandma bought a blouse and thought it was the right size and fits her face well. (23) And in the evening I offered it to my daughter-in-law, for whom this blouse suited her better. (24) Another time, my mother came wearing a new scarf, but she put it on my grandmother’s coat, saw how well the scarf fit, and gave it to my grandmother.

What is greed? Where does this quality come from in a person? Greed is a bad quality that is very difficult to get rid of.

In this text, Mogilevskaya touches on the problem of children's greed. The author claims that children are not the purpose of existence. And their true meaning should be correctly conveyed to children. Mogilevskaya gives the example of Alena. The little girl did not want to share her things with anyone. The problem did not leave the parents indifferent, and they decided to fight it. Alena was changed by the scene about what is better to share than

be greedy.

This problem is undoubtedly relevant today.

Many parents are financially secure and give their child only the best. Of course, this is how they show their love, but this is precisely what can greatly harm children, because later they will grow up selfish and greedy.

The author asks the question: what does a family need to do to prevent the development of “materialism”? First of all, parents need to show their children by their own example how important generosity is. A person needs to get rid of greed and show kindness, which we often forget.

In N.V. Gogol’s poem “Dead Souls” there is a bright character in whom greed is manifested. This personality is consumed by the passion of stinginess. “Every day he walked along the streets of the village, looking under the bridges, under the crossbars, and whatever he came across, he dragged it all for himself and put it in a heap.”

In our life we also meet many such personalities. Because of greed, they betray their loved ones and even kill them. Even wars are guided by it.

Thus, greed will lead nowhere, it destroys people, which is why it is necessary to pay special attention to this from early childhood, invest in children and form in them only nobility, kindness, honesty and selflessness.

Essay based on the text:

What is greed? Where does this quality come from in a person? It is these questions that the modern publicist, author of the popular brochure “Children and Money”, Galina Lvovna Mogilevskaya, discusses in her text.
The author asks the question: can money cause greed in a person? After all, this quality can manifest itself in both poor and rich people who have good material wealth. G.L. Mogilevskaya tells the story of little Alena, who did not want to share her toys. The girl’s parents are at a loss as to where their daughter, who is still very young, got this bad human quality. A way out of this situation was found. The scene about how it is much better to share than to be greedy completely changed little Alena, who subsequently “was no longer greedy.”
Greed is a bad quality. A person must get rid of it, or better yet, replace it with kindness. In this we see the author’s position.
I completely share the author's opinion. Such a quality as kindness should prevail in a person, but not greed.
I remember Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol’s poem “Dead Souls”. Stepan Plyushkin is a certain standard of greed and penny-pinching. N.V. Gogol himself wrote about this hero: “Every day he walked along the streets of the village, looked under the bridges, under the crossbars, and everything that he came across: an old sole, a woman’s rag, an iron nail, a clay pot - everything dragged it to him and put it in a heap...".
There are many sayings about stinginess and human greed. D. Chaucer said: “Greed is the root of all evil.” It's true. How many cases do we know when people, out of greed, betrayed, or even killed, even their loved ones. It is no exception that wars also happen because of greed, since people do not want to share anything.
Thus, G.L. Mogilevskaya touched upon an eternal problem. As long as man exists, greed will exist. Unfortunately, people rarely get rid of this quality.

*Galina Lvovna Mogilevskaya is a modern publicist, author of the popular brochure “Children and Money.”

Greed is a human quality that is characterized by a person’s stinginess and greed.

This quality is negatively accepted by society, because a greedy person does not share anything, be it objects, knowledge or feelings. Such a person usually distances himself from well-mannered and decent people. Hearing about this quality, one immediately gets the impression that the person is stupid, uneducated and impatient.

But it's not all bad here. Under certain conditions, greed is even useful. For example, if a person’s stinginess is caused by the fear of losing something, then this will be more likely a positive quality, since a person strives to retain his existing wealth, and in order to retain it, it is necessary to use greed - the desire to retain his property.

An example of greed can be cited from “The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish.” At first the old woman just wanted a new trough. Having received it, she, taking the chance to get everything she wanted, made all her unimaginable wishes for the fish. As a result, due to greed and stinginess, the old woman was left without anything, not even the trough that she wanted from the very beginning.

The instinct of survival is inherent in man by nature. He always strives to take everything for himself in order to satisfy his needs. As a rule, stingy people are richer and more prosperous than those who are content with what they have. Greedy people always want more and they will never be “full.” On the one hand, greed in this world is necessary to achieve heights, since stingy people achieve more than those who lead a mediocre life. But on the other hand, you don’t need to be too selfish, as you can easily cross the boundaries of decent, which will lead to criminal liability.

And yet, greed is the reason why changes occur in life. It is good if a person realizes this and acts consciously. But if greed controls a person, then he acts unreasonably and it is difficult to predict his actions. Stinginess destroys a person and forces him to make mistakes. A person simply depends on an external force and acts without relying on his values. And often this leads to negative and disastrous consequences.

This is a trait of human character that will never decorate him. Greed is a person’s excessive predilection for appropriating as much material and other benefits as possible. It can also manifest itself in the appropriation of things, attention, power and other spiritual needs. This feeling gives rise to the desire to accumulate funds, save and never spend. Such a person will never stop in his desire to take all the good things from life.

Greed has never been valued in people, because having it, we do not notice anyone around them, but see only ourselves and satisfy our desires. Scientists have proven that this feeling is inherent in absolutely all people, because not everyone has a gift from birth for a happy life.

My parents taught me from childhood that greed will never lead me to anything good. I have learned this simple truth, and now, when I have a similar desire to appropriate something for myself, I try to protect myself from this thing as much as possible.

I have often had the opportunity to communicate with greedy people, and I cannot say that this is a pleasant sight. They have everything they need, but lack the most important thing - respect from friends and loved ones.

Agree that no one will want to communicate with a person who will not even share candy for a long time, because then, perhaps, he will remember it and demand more from you.

Parents teach their children to share something with them first; of course, they will not take it, but this process will develop good qualities in their child. Starting with such small steps, a person comes to the conclusion that it will not be difficult for him to give even money. It is worth remembering that the entire foundation is laid in childhood and it should be built correctly and not destroyed later.

I believe that although greed exists in every person, it should not be shown, it should be suppressed as much as possible. If we give something to someone, we will definitely receive something more in return. Higher powers will not deprive anyone of their attention, and if you are afraid of tearing something away from yourself, then remember that you will not remain naked and barefoot for the rest of your life. Only by giving do you get more in return.

Essay about Greed

Greed is a human quality, the desire to get as much of something as possible. It is often put on a par with anger, cruelty, and greed. A greedy person constantly thinks about profit, about satisfying his endless desires. At the same time, such a person thinks only about his own benefit and does not share his wealth with others.

This quality is often classified as a negative character trait. There are a huge number of works in literature in which authors ridicule and denounce greedy people. Such characters often suffer greatly from their vice or die, since the author does not see the point in their further existence. Examples of such personalities can be found in the works “The Tale of the Goldfish”, “Dead Souls”, “The Count of Monte Cristo”, “The Master and Margarita” and more. Mostly people are driven by the lust for money or power. What they have is constantly not enough for them. And to get more, greedy people are ready for any action that will lead them to their goal. Greedy people often suffer from loneliness, lack of attention and understanding from others. After all, no one wants to deal with a person who cares only about himself.

However, the word “greedy” does not always mean what was mentioned earlier. Sometimes this definition means a person who strives with great zeal for a good goal. For example, “hungry for knowledge” or “hungry for truth.” Such people show great diligence in their endeavors and often have great success. But you shouldn’t assume that they, like obsessed people, go towards their goal no matter what. Usually these people are kind, sympathetic, and ready to help. They just have a dream that they want to make come true. A striking literary example is Arthur Gray from the work “Scarlet Sails”. Since childhood, he dreamed of becoming a sailor, captain, and for this he made every effort to gain knowledge about maritime affairs.

Thus, the concept of greed has several meanings. The most common is the desire to have as much of something as possible, to be an owner, to think exclusively about one’s own benefit and not to share one’s wealth with anyone. However, another meaning speaks of a person’s desire for a cherished dream, great diligence and willingness to work hard. Undoubtedly, the first understanding is a negative character trait. Therefore, you should not be greedy, you need to learn to help people, be kind and sympathetic.
