Many people say that we now live in 'consumer societies' where money and possessions are given too much importance. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In the midst of

this

technology driven-global world,most folks think that, as we all living in the twenty-

first

century,people give more importance to social

status

and finance. I totally agree with

this

statement,in

this

essay I will illustrate it with my experiences. Over the past few decades,human habits and thinking ability had changed a lot. Apparently,most of them want to get good possession in society, to achieve that, they are ready to work hard. As per today's situation, those who have a good amount of

money

, have a better

status

in their state or country.

Therefore

all are running behind

money

,as they work day and night.

As a result

, they are not only compromising family relationships but

also

their health.To illustrate

this

,I had a friend in my college,who was very keen to make more

money

,

thus

, he will get a good reputation in his village,

that is

what he told to everyone.He used to work after our college time without having proper food or rest.

this

was continued for three years.

However

, he couldn't even enjoy his life as he wished,before that all of a sudden he had died due to cardiac arrest. In the current society what we are living in now is a dangerous one. Ostensibly,here people are making relationships with others by measuring their monitory background and social

status

. Even from childhood,kids are getting trained by their parents, not to keep friendship with those who come from a low socio-economic background.

For example

,

last

year I visited a school,there I found a boy who was standing in a corner, not mingling with others,while the rest of the students were playing.

Then

I asked that boy about the reason,He told me that,he is coming from a coastal area and his father is a fisherman ,so the rest of them won't even talk with him, even though he is a rank holder in his school.

This

is how our

next

generation is growing. All are simply just behind

money

and social

status

. To conclude,Most of them in

this

generation are very passionate to make more wealth and achieving a better

status

in

this

consumer society.Tacitly, all humanitarian considerations and values were neglected.
