, Introduction
My aim in compiling this portfolio was to reflect on the things that have struck me throughout
this crazy module.
My starting point for doing this was to revisit my opinions to the multiple choice questions
which were presented in the Crossroads assignment. I present these current opinions, together
with my original opinions, and some brief notes in the section entitled: “Back at the
Crossroads!”
Once I have done this, I draw some key conclusions about this crazy module and about the
things that did indeed strike me.
Back at the Crossroads!
1. “Greed is good” My personal opinion of what should be done, is most closely described by:
a. It’s not good or bad. It’s just how things are.
b. Absolutely! If it wasn’t for greed we would never achieve anything.
c. I’m not sure. Sometimes I think that it’s good. At other times I think that it’s bad.
d. It depends on how you define “greed”.
e. Absolutely not! Greed is bad. It leads to much pain and suffering.
Choice now: D
Choice in assignment 1: B
Notes: Well that depends on how you define greed, personally I’d say there’s negative greed and
there’s positive greed. A negative greed, in my opinion, is a greed that consumes a person, causing
him or her to waste away as a result of the heat of the terrible attributes it causes one to develop,
such as selfishness, wrath, jealously, and unhealthy competition (Dickson Adom, Kwame Nkrumah
University of Science and Technology, 25 January 2018). Positive greed can be defined as greed that
can be beneficial in some situations. One advantage is that it serves as a type of motivation. Greed
motivates people to strive for greater social and economic outcomes than they now have (Anna
Chui, 12 January 2021).
<NB Note: If your inclination here is to say that having done this module you have decided that greed is
indeed good, then by all means go ahead and defend this. However, if you tell us that the course
material has told you that greed is good, then you are very likely to fail this module. The course material
quite explicitly states that greed is not good. If you think that the material says otherwise, then you
need to go and read the material again.>
