What do you prefer? A person's social status or old fashioned values like honour,kindness,trust

Given the power and influence of the super rich it might seem as if social status and material possessions are the new symbols of personal worth but in everyday life i donot think this is true.

It is apparent that most celebrities today are admired for their material wealth or position in various social hierarchies. Many of these people are known to turn their back on friends,cheat on their spouses or spend their evenings over indulging in alcohol and drugs. Things like owning a mansion,driving an expensive car and getting into A- list parties are exalted above old -fashioned values. Ultimately though it is the many readers of gossip magazines and celebrity blogs who reinforce these ideas.

Nevertheless I do believe that in their day to day life most people still believe in values such as honour,kindness and trust. In some way most of us want to form loving families,raise our children to be good citizens ,stand up for the downtrodden and protect our communities from harm. We still form friendship, romance and business partnerships based on old- fashioned criteria.

In conclusion i must say that their is some truth to the notion that status and possessions have superseded old-fashioned values as a measure of a person' s worth. Looking beyond the tabloids however,it is apparent that most ordinary people have still preserved an old-fashioned conscience.

Do you agree with my opinion?
