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

this

day and age, some

people

think that the social status and wealth of a person carries more significance rather than the traditional

values

such

as honour, kindness and trust. I completely disagree with

this

statement because ,in my opinion, these moral

values

are extremely important for many communities. On one hand,

people

are judged by how much wealth and materialistic property they have.

This

is often seen in a society that

people

who are in higher income brackets, get more respect than those who do not have enough money to show off. One good example of

this

is Kim Kardashian, she is famous because of her luxury lifestyle and net worth despite her poor acting skills.

Therefore

,

people

argue that financial status is more valuable to be in the highlights.

On the other hand

, old

values

such

as respect, kindness and trust are the top priority for many

people

. Many parents teach their children about these

values

from the early stages of life so that their children can be better humans with these inherited qualities.

For instance

, during the Covid pandemic lockdown, a middle-class person from Maharastra helped hundreds of citizens to reach their homes and later he became popular throughout the country.

Hence

, it shows that money is not everything to show the worthiness of a person. To conclude, in my opinion,

although

, financial status and expensive things are being used by

people

to show their superiority in society, ancient

values

such

as helping each other and giving respect to everyone are much more precious for the majority of citizens.
