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.

Instead

of considering the very old ethics of life,

such

as honour, kindness and trust as the real worth of a human, a school of thought, claims people's social dignity and materialistic things as worth.

This

essay completely disagrees with the

fact

because, real respect and honour comes from good deeds rather, from all the glitters that a man earns during his whole life and the materialistic things are just temporary but a man's kindness and greatness are always remembered. Since, the ages, a large part of the civilization always keeps themselves busy in earning things which they think that will earn a value for them in the eyes of society. Despite of knowing the

fact

that

this

is a kind of illusion because they are not going to stay for ever and will be lost in the storm of time. History has witnessed many similar instances,

such

as- The father of India-Mr. M.K Gandhi. Despite of hailing from a rich family, he decided to serve for the humanity and for his nation. It was because of his efforts and ideas only that led India towards her freedom from British rule and

that is

why he is remembered till today. Now,

one

fact

that can never be neglected that it's the tendency of humans to opt that road only which serves his motives or eases him and his belongings lives all together. It is normally very difficult for a person to focus himself towards the social causes and issues. No

one

wants to emphasize

such

issues, but there are few who are completely different from others. It's not because they do not have anything to do or they intentionally do that. It's only because their intent to help others which they might carried from their ancestors.

For example

, Mr. Ratan Tata- The chairman of Tata Group.

This

organisation is

one

of the biggest and most successful organisations of the world. He runs many NGOs who are relentlessly working for the betterment of the society. Knowing the

fact

that he is

one

of the richest persons of the world, he is very down to earth and is always ready to help in any condition. In the light of the above facts, it is clear that materialistic things can earn only an illusion, but the real respect comes from the deeds, kindness, humbleness of a person.
