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 modern era,
people
 often look at others by how rich they are and who are their family. The behaviour of
people
 is not essential anymore. In
this
 essay, I will detail the reasons why I do not agree if a person is looked at by how much they have money.
To begin
 with, a long time before, our ancestors told us about how to be good
people
, but nowadays, it is not part of our era. Other
people
 will respect more to wealthiest because they believe that status and material possessions can get everything. Many
people
 believe if they are close to
people
 who come from wealthy families, they can get many benefits.
For example
, rich
people
 can buy anything, and if they become friends with them or respect them more, they will give they some money or share to become rich
people
.
This
 habit is not good for humanity, and because of that
people
 often look down on others.
Furthermore
, our next generation will be apathetic
people
. They do not care about others. They can harm their family or friends with their behaviour or words since they no longer care about honour, kindness and trust. If honour becomes unpopular, many
people
 will tell a lie about everything.
For instance
, a person works as an accountant in a bank and wants to become rich by manipulating the data, so he can draw some money from a customer's account without feeling that it is wrong.
People
 will take anyway to get what they want.
This
 will lead humans to social destruction because there will be no good
people
 in
this
 world anymore. In my view, I believe if
people
 still look at other
people
 for who they are, not just material, the world will be better.
Moreover
, We can respect other
people
, and we can appreciate our friends and families, we can trust
people
. For that, we are determined as a human.
To conclude
, old-fashioned values are important to human life. These norms need to apply to our young generation to improve the future.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
