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.

In today’s world, a lot of people have discarded traditional values

such

as

honor

bestow honor or rewards upon

honour

, kindness and trust which were the guiding campus of

society

for centuries.

Rather people

Accept comma addition

Rather, people

are judged based on their status in the

society

and their material gains. I completely disagree with

this

narrow thinking that can be attributed to moral decay in our

society

.

First

of all, many individuals in leadership roles or are aspiring to be future leaders have adopted

this

thinking of gaining the respect and admiration of their followers through amassing material possessions in dubious and unlawful manner

instead

of basing their leadership qualities on traditional values. Due to

this

thinking we have seen an increase in corruption in many countries in Africa, Latin America, and South East Asia. If our leaders followed old fashioned values, corruption scandals in government institutions would have greatly reduced and funds that go

in to

expresses motion to a point on, or within, something

into

the pockets of individuals would go to the creation of jobs for the youth and improving key infrastructure.

Secondly

, believing that societal status and wealth are the parameters to measure a person’s worth sets a bad example for our young generation. Young people have access to the internet and follow celebrities and music icons who epitomize

this

irrational thinking which is taking root in today’s modern

society

. Our youth are the future of our planet and passing the aforementioned morally corrupt ideas to them is a grave mistake. Parents and learning institutions have the sole responsibility to instill old fashioned values to preserve the moral fabric of our communities for decades to come. In conclusion, People should stick

with

Suggestion

to

traditional values that has led civilizations

such

as ancient Greece to flourish rather than embracing the thinking of few corrupt leaders and celebrities that are cut off from realities of many ordinary people.
