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.
Most
people
these days judge others by how much money they make or by their position in social
hierarchy. Values like honour, kindness and trust seem not desirable anymore. From my perspective, a high salary or important position in society does not say anything about one’s worth, and traits like sincerity and honour should be seen as much more precious.
