A person’s worth nowadays seems to be judged according to social status and material possessions. Old-fashioned values, such as honour, kindness and trust, no longer seem important. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

These days, self worth is often determined by

one

's financial and social status. Meaningful qualities like honour, kindness and trust are not included when

This

is because it is a universal rule that if you are respectful, polite and trustworthy people are more likely to interact with you. If you only had your word and are known to be noble, that would be more than enough for people to want to share secrets with you or even start business' with you. Personally, in my
