People have always prioritized wealth and possessions. So being materialistic has been an age-old phenomenon, although an increasing number of people hoped for. Materialistic thinks more now because more than development plans, so many more have influenced people to be hoping about their materialistic traits while in the holding days, in the ancient period. It has always been in play, but people do not like to display the traits, but I believe it has always been in existence since our parents’ time. I believe people generally can’t have the traits, and that is because we live in a society whereby people thrive on what they have ahead of others. I mean, everybody wants to become rich, everybody wants to become wealthy, but as humans, we most times like to have what others do not have. I believe people have always wanted to be rich, and the traits in their own house would always want to achieve what others have yet to achieve. So I believe generally people have the traits of being materialistic. So the society can be made better by loving and appreciating other people more because Classism and materialistic society would always create a gap between the traits that people relate to themselves. So I think we should focus more on interpersonal relationships between humans, between communities, and societies at large. Rewards should be given to human-interpersonal relationships like bonding and so much more.

People have always prioritized wealth and possessions. Being materialistic has been an age-old phenomenon, although an increasing number of people hope for more. Materialistic thinking is more prevalent now because of development plans and many influences that encourage people to focus on their materialistic traits. In ancient times, it has always been present, but people did not like to display these traits. I believe it has always existed since our parents' time. I believe people generally have these traits, and that is because we live in a society where people thrive on what they have compared to others. Everyone wants to become rich; everyone wants to be wealthy. As humans, we often desire what others do not have. I believe people have always wanted to be rich, and those in their own homes always want to achieve what others have yet to achieve. So, I believe generally people have materialistic traits. Society can be improved by loving and appreciating other people more because classism and a materialistic society create a gap between how people relate to themselves. We should focus more on interpersonal relationships between humans, communities, and societies at large. Rewards should be given to human interpersonal relationships, like bonding and much more.
