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? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. Write at least 250 words.

The qualities in olden times, which

defined

defining

the worth of a

person

, have fallen in importance and previously unimportant factors have gained priority. Qualities

such

as kindness,

honor

bestow honor or rewards upon

honour

and trust are no longer the defining factors of worth and social

status

This

essay will discuss

this

statement and

it's

of a thing, of it; possessive form of "it"

its

accuracy. With the expansion of equality and poverty campaigns, people have become hyper aware about the social

status

of others.

This

means that when an individual comes into contact with a

person

of differing social

status

- his behaviour toward the

person

often corresponds to the

person

's socioeconomic

status

.

For instance

, the behaviour of an

indiviual

a human being

individual

towards a construction worker varies from that towards a wealthy

business man

a person engaged in commercial or industrial business (especially an owner or executive)

businessman

.

Although

,

this

behaviour can be either negative or positive, the core theme remains constant which is judgement.

For example

, the certain- perhaps unfair- expectations placed on the wealthy to be generous and

likewise

, accusations if donations are thought to be insignificant. People are judged based on their wealth and disrespected if the wealthy do not donate whilst people with a lower socioeconomic

status

are not burdened with the same expectations.

Similarly

, people of a lower socioeconomic

status

may be disregarded or treated with indifference due to their lack of monetary prosperity.

For example

, some restaurants may disregard

people

Suggestion

the people

of lower wealth and provide them with a low quality service-

soley

without any others being included or involved

solely

based on their apparent social

status

. Due to various campaigns, social

status

has been unintentionally ingrained in society- the mission to eradicate discrimination based on social

status

has unintentionally highlighted social

status

in society. As

such

campaigns were rare in olden times, social prosperity was an observation- not an aspect to be mindful of. Due to

this

, worth was defined by other factors

such

as kindness, trust and courage.

Although

, social

status

discrimination did exist, other factors took priority over

this

discrimination in defining the worth of a

person

.

For instance

, in a room full of people- courage, skill and justice declared the worth of a

person

rather than their economic background. To conclude, I agree to a great extent that the worth of a

person

is now decided based on social

status

due to hyper awareness caused by campaigns, etc.
