Direction: Read the following passage and answer the questions given below:
Political and technological developments are rapidly obliterating all cultural differences and it is possible that, in a not remote future, it will be impossible, to distinguish human beings living on one area of the earth surface from those living on any other. The most sriking difference between an American and a European is the difference in their attitudes towards money. Every European knows that, in Europe, wealth could only be acquired at the expense of other human beings, either by conquering them or by exploiting their labor in factories. Even after the Industrial Revolution began, the number granted that they would not be much richer or poorer than their fathers. In consequence, no European associates wealth with personal merit or poverty with personal failure.
In the United States, wealth was also acquired by staling, but the real exploited victim was not a human being but poor Mother Earth and her resources which were ruthlessly plundered. Thanks to the natural resource of the country, every American, until quite recently, could reasonably look forward to making more money his father, so that if he made less, the fault must be his; he was either lazy or inefficient. What an American values, therefore is not the possession of money as such, but his power to make it as a proof of his manhood; once he has proved himself by making it, it has served its function and can be lost or given away. In no society in history have rich men given away so large a part of their fortunes.
