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? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

In today's world, we are living in the materialistic era while the social status and wealth of the

person

play a major role in determining value in society. To a certain extent, I somehow agree with the statement that material possessions are the driving factor while making a judgement about a

person

.

However

, I

also

believe that we cannot completely ignore the importance of moral

values

, like honesty and a positive attitude.

First

of all, the current generation is more inclined towards a materialistic world. Outer appearance

such

as clothes, jewellery, or luxury cars is valued more while making perception about another

person

.

For example

, many celebrities are famous only because of their expensive outfits even though they hardly show their good performance in acting on TV shows.

However

, we cannot completely ignore the relevance of traditional

values

. An employer will always look for those who have strong personality traits

such

as honesty, integrity and dedication to their work.

Moreover

, a businessman will always prefer to do business with a partner who

values

ethical practice rather than any fake work commitment.

In other words

, a

person

's worth is judged according to his attitude. To conclude,

although

the majority of judgments are still based upon the social status of the

person

, I believe that material possessions play a crucial role in determining an individual's worth. Despite the fact that these

values

may or may not be considered by some individuals who have an old-fashioned way of thinking.
