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?
It is argued that
people
recently judge others by how much money they have and how high status
they get rather than their social attitude. This
essay disagrees with the statement since people
become wiser day by day and there are many people
who fake their status
condition.
The ubiquitous access to knowledge in recent days has made people
learn to be wiser swiftly. They read a book related to this
topic or watch it on television. A number of cases show and explain that money is not equivalent to a good heart. Many public figures who have branded expensive things end up in jail because they become a criminal to get it. Hence
, people
have left the old mindset and respected the warm-hearted influencers more. For example
, Jokowidodo, the politician who was the only typical citizen living in a village could win the presidential election two times because he always seemed polite to the elders.
Social status
also
is left by modern people
nowadays as there are a lot of people
who like to fake it. It is because they want to get respect easily from their customers, colleagues, friends, teachers, or from their families. They may do either crime to cover their real identity or fake their information to hide the criminal activities that they are doing. Indonesia, for instance
, has a lot of lawyers who create unreal university certificates which show they just graduated from top world universities like Harvard or Columbia. They do it just to get the belief and trust of their clients and to get paid more.
In conclusion, people
are not likely judged based on their money or social status
now; however
, it is according to
their heart because people
become wiser and they know that there are fake people
around.Submitted by lulukfuru on
