the significance of social status position and possessions tends to surpass the past values In these days, people are increasingly concerned about a person’s worth, leading to a heated discussion over the judgement of such worth. With the materialism prevailing, the significance of social position and possessions tends to surpass the past values. Generally, there is no doubt that social status and material possessions play an important role on current society. People who own such assets also win much respect from others. However, we don’t deny that they have put in much effort to deserve such assets. For instance, Ma Yun, as we know, is the richest man of Chinese. People always attribute his fortune to innovation, great ambition and endeavor. It is him that changes people’s lifestyle and makes lives more convenient. Therefore, he is also the pride of Chinese. So, to some extent, the reason for people owning such assets is that they is also valuable to the society. On the other hand, the old-fashioned values are also the essential judgement of a person’s worth. because every person’s pursuit is different. Someone may give up the social status and material possessions just for the belief in their heart. Every graduation season, many graduates give up the terrific chances in prosperous cities to go to the western region for donating themselves to developing the western region. Those still reflect the glory of humanity. They also have an effective impact on the society and create great value. As far as I am concerned, both current and old-fashioned values benefit our society to some extent. The former are the motivation of many people, the latter are our essential morality.
