We live in an era where technology gives us the opportunity to see a person’s life and social condition. A person’s worth is presently valued based on social dignity and material possession rather than the old-fashioned
for instance
 honour, affection, and other things. Despite the truth seeming true, I am disagreeing with the statement because the outdated value and good behaviour still matter and are urgent to be seen. While people only can see the visible aspect, those who are selfish to get what they want will be untrustworthy. Honour and altruism which is unseen by human, are the most vital attitude in

 important, I believe that there will be so many problems happening in life. Does the old-fashioned attitude only important in politics and stakeholders? Absolutely no. Many jobs require these values to run their business and determine their

although
 social status, as well as wealth, is important in our lives, we should remember that kindness is required to keep

 humanity sense. Not only for humans as brilliant creatures but for all the existing things on the earth.
