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?

It is often argued that a
person’s
value is judged by their social
status
and belongings or not.
Although
I agree that their value is judged by their social
status
on some occasions, I think that their personality,

factor to consider a person. On the one hand, social rating and material possessions are definitely used to judge a person, especially when
people
are looking for their partners or boyfriends. Recently, there are a lot of dating apps. With these apps,
people
can fill their preferences
such
as occupations, salary, and educational background to find someone they want to go dating. Since
people
cannot know other one’s personalities before meeting in person, on
this
occasion,
people
tend to judge
people
by their social
status
. In Japan, one survey shows that more than 80% of women, who joined dating apps in 2020, answered that they care about their partner’s social
status
. That’s why I agree that a
person’s
worth is sometimes decided by some factors like their social
status
.
On the other hand
,
people
still regard old-fashioned values as important. On many occasions,

with new friends, their personalities are more important than their social rank. In fact, demand for famous brand cars, watches and bags are decreasing among young
people
in the world in the
last
decades, while many young
people
spend money on their experience, like travelling abroad with friends.
People
cannot live without relationships with others.
Thus
,
people
still care a lot about a
person’s
personality. To conclude, though I agree that on some occasions, a
person’s
worth is judged by their social rank, I think that
people
still think old-fashioned conscience is more important when they build and develop a relationship with others in society.
