People nowadays work hard to buy more things. This has made our life generally more comfortable but it is a pity many traditional values have been lost on the way to such materialism. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

At present, populace work for longer hours than ever to purchase.

This

, in general, has made our life more enjoyable;

this

materialistic era has been the cause for the extinction of several cultural values. In my opinion, I wholeheartedly agree with the above phenomena because not only does it disconnect any community from its heritage

In other words

Thus

, the above example speaks volumes that being consumerist undoubtedly compels folks to compromise with their enriched traditional values. Another reason for ever declining conservative values during the consumerist era is that it steadily weakens locals’ inherited ethics towards community. It means that buying more luxury gives a

For instance

Hence

, we can say that the sense of being superior leads people to collapse their society’s structure. In conclusion, I completely agree that working hard to live comfortable life fetches adverse effects on our cultures because it takes us away from our soul, and lessens the principles of individuals towards the society.
