"Yoko is it so important in most cultures to be wealthy? Some cultures use power to see who is important and popular. Why is ours any different?"
Yoko took off her sunglasses and sat up on her towel, the team was on their day off and had used the time to go to the beach- but Brett seemed more quizzical than ever. "Brett why does it matter, we've got Josh in the water so please just relax."
Brett snorted "Yoko; I believe that trivial matters such as wealth need my attention on our days off, so I must learn."
She gently placed her sunglasses back over her golden eyes "people with money, are mostly seen as pretty, smart, or talented people. So our cultures use wealth as a measure of such characteristics. Plus everything costs money so people tend to think lots of it is better. Now please Brett go bug Josh- I need to get the perfect tan for my best performance. Now shoo." She shoved him away laying back down on her rainbow towel.
"Thank you Yoko, you just clarified a topic for me. Now I can relax and get some ice cream; would you like any."
"No."
