Band 5

Nowadays, some people believe that personal values are less important than a person's wealth and appearance. Do you agree or disagree?

#people #values #person #wealth #appearance
A camp of society thinks that a person's wealth and appearance are superior to personal
values
.I completely disagree with
this
 statement. Personal
values
 are the things that are linked with morality. Some are very important in our daily life like
courtesy
,
behaviour
, keep promise etc.
First
 of all,
courtesy
 begins at home which makes a man perfect. A man might not have sufficient penny but
courtesy
 makes him incomparable to others.
secondly
,
behaviour
 is
also
 as important as

show examples
courtesy
. A human with rough
behaviour
 is always avoided by everyone. No one expects a rude person in his/her life because of fear of unnecessary suffering. It is a very common scenario in our society that wealthy
people
 behave badly in

a restaurant
the restaurant

Fix the agreement mistake
restaurants

 because of a lack of common
courtesy
.
Last
 but not the least, Keeping a promise is very valuable. Usually, we try to avoid
such
 types of
people
 who repeatedly ignore his/her promise.
On the contrary
, wealth and gesture are two things needed to lead a comfortable life. Rich
people
 get honoured by everyone. It is
also
 worth mentioning that
people
 with apparent looks get extra benefits in the job field like a receptionist. Though the former two things are important, it is personal
values
 that can not be ignored.
For example
,
people
 with good
behaviour
 get priority over rich
people
although
 they might not have a vast amount of money. In a nutshell, personal
values
 , wealth and appearance are important. But lack of
values
 makes a rich person deniable.
