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?

In recent days, the value of a
person
is decided by his social status and
lifestyle
. The traditional values
such
as the nature of the
person
, behaviour, and truthfulness are no more considered as an important factor to know the qualities of someone. My essay agrees with
this
statement. I believe that the current
generation
of
people
are
Change the verb form
is
show examples
identified and respected based on their costly living and position in
society
.
Firstly
, the modern
generation
people
are judging other
people
in the community based on their type of work, financial status and costly
lifestyle
because they usually have a strong financial status and since the needs of the world are revolving around money
instead
of the truth and nature of the
person
it is common that
people
around these rich will treat them as role models and legends to gain benefits from them.
For example
, I know a
person
from a middle-class family in India who donated half of his salary every month to an old age
home
for the past 15 years and a well know
person
to every member of the old age
home
and I remember, during the celebrations of 25th anniversary of the old age
home
, most of the celebrities from film and political background are invited as chief guests to the function but
this
person
was how made a lot of donations to the senior
home
was not even invited.
Secondly
, the kind of work that we are doing in
society
plays a key role nowadays because, the
people
in the higher designations have a higher income that means, a costly
lifestyle
.
For example
, consider an engineer and a teacher, one teacher have the capability to make thousands of engineers, but the high income that an engineer has made him the more valued
person
in
society
than a teacher.
Moreover
, for current
generation
youth, the movie starts are real heroes due to their stardom and costly
lifestyle
then
Replace the word
than
show examples
the real heroes who are protecting the country in the boarders from our enemies. In conclusion, the modern
generation
people
are recognising the other persons based on the economical and costly
lifestyle
rather than the qualities, simplicity, kindness and true nature of the
person
. I totally agree with
this
point.
People
who are really working for the wellbeing of
society
are less valued than
people
who do nothing but are rich in
society
.
