I wasn't implying that many people do not define success in monetary terms. I just thought we at Uni would be open-minded and cultured enough to look past constructed societal definitions.

Clearly, if everything is right simply because it is so in our society, then we as members of a racist, sexist and homophobic society should take society's definition of what race, sex and homosexuality really mean as fact. Just like in a capitalist society should make its members 'capitalists' by name and believers that money is the most important thing in life.

I would continue but I get the feeling you're just arguing for the sake of it.
