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 the
last
two decades, there has been an increasing change in the scenarios in society. More and more
people
are called to be wealthy if they are having luxurious cars and mansions
instead
of looking at their public image. I, partially agree with the trend as still there are
people
who think trust and kindness play a significant role in everyone's
life
.
This
essay will describe both points with specific reasons. To start with, most
people
are being judged on their status in society.
For instance
, a hoard of parents can be seen finding suitable grooms for their respective daughters in
name
of the money they have and how luxurious their
life
is!. Yet, sometimes they get caught in
this
vicious circle in which they keep on filling the groom's pocket so that their girls can lead a fruitful
life
ahead.
Moreover
, many times it could be seen that
this
status symbol is fake and
people
are mainly in debt.
In addition
, to maintain a
name
in society,
people
keep on taking more and more loans which in turn makes it difficult for them in near future. Talking about the elite
people
, who have inherited not only money but fame
also
from their ancestors, they are known by their forefathers.
Although
, not many
people
know them by their
first
name
their
last
name
plays an important role in their lives as it shows the amount of pride they carry in

respective surnames.
For example
, in-country like India
people
are known by their ancestral names have an advantage as they are being helped in each and every sphere of
life
by others who are in touch with their grandparents for a long period of time.
Furthermore
, children are being taught to get in contact with particular children of well-known families because they not only help u in learning useful skills in
life
but
also
teach u a lot of values which others think are obsolete in today's world. In conclusion, Money plays a pivotal part in
life
provided that it is earned with good values, trustworthiness and kindness among
people
. It is totally wrong to make perceptions about
people
if they have good material possessions as things can be deceptive.
