Is it economics?

Is it economics? If you are considering to study economics. Or maybe you've just heard people talk about it and feel a little stupid because you can not follow the conversation as well as the jargon out of their mouths. So Is it economics?. I'm not an expert but a little more exchange of experience is no problem sharing a little knowledge.

We begin by asking whether the meaning of the word "economics" itself. Most people already know a little more meaning. They will say that the word had something to do with "money" or "business" or "production" or "how people earn income." The word itself is derived from the Greek meaning "good housekeeping". So Is it economics? If you read the text book you will find a variety of definitions:
• Economics is the study of mankind in the process earn a living
• Economics is a way to disseminate resources to meet needs.
• With a little capital to be gained as many benefits

Three definitions are three of the most popular of more economic definition by experts.
All definitions of economic have one thing in common: all assume that people are motivated by a desire for material gain. This means that people want maemperoleh more money or goods or other advantages in life and are willing to work hard or take risks that point is reached.

No doubt it applies to most modern people. Our society is a society of ambitious and greedy. No one apologized or expected to apologize for wanting to improve his property with a variety of ways that sometimes harm others. But keep in mind that this does not apply in all places and all time. In a religious community like the early period of Christian or medieval monasteries, such greed is not acceptable.

Greedy attitude to own property as much as anything else at the expense of others is considered sinful and unworthy in God's eyes. "Even easier for a camel to enter the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter the kingdom of God".

There is a story about a devout Christian in the Middle Ages. Narrated person made a pilgrimage to Rome. There he bought a new robe. On the way home he met with some of the clothing merchant who admired his robe and asked for permission to examine it. When he knew what the price is paid the person, the traders said that he was very lucky, because the cloak should be worth twice that of the person who paid it.

Most of us would be grateful for our good fortune and lift straight legs. But not so the devout Christian. He felt he had deceived trader robe and tried to send some extra money to be sent to the merchant's robes in Rome.

Such an attitude deserves thumbs up. Is there among you who have a godly attitude like that? But if everyone adopted that attitude, economics lesson will not be any good. Then the economics would not exist and there would be no economics faculty at the university in the world.

If there is a shortage of bloggers or writers ask for suggestions, corrections, and additional written comments on the colum.
