With the current accessibility of wealth and possessions, many believe that one’s worth is based solely on social class and materialistic aspects. Previous morals of judgement are not being taken to consideration as before.
Nowadays, it is much more common to have acquaintances of varying levels of status. People have managed to find numerous methods to get paid, whether it be by cooking, editing, writing, or simply walking. The internet has created a global influx of businesses and entrepreneurs, which any dedicated individual can take part in. Consequently, a social group can now portray poverty and luxury all in one region. That is a strike difference from communities back in the day, where all families of identical status reside in a designated land. Hence, the growing comparisons made between peers, friends, and family members in today’s age. For instance, big cities in Sudan have highly judgemental societies that give already capable high class families more prejudice and advantages. Unlike the tribes in smaller villages whose oldschool traditions are still prevalent, the house of a respected man or a generous woman is most valued.
While old-fashioned values are known to be incredibly flawed, the appreciation of personal character over mere worldly items must remain. What communities need most are dependable, responsible, honorable, and caring memebers. After all, what use would a lavish car and spacious house be if a person has no company to enjoy them with? Maintaining strong bonds are a clear priority to truly become content. That is done by being dutiful and loving with others. Research done in a particular region of Europe has shown that individuals with the longest life spans are those with the most stable relationships.
In conclusion, this generation has lost to the idea of morals over matter, as majority of adults are seeking paths only for money purposes. However, decades ago, societies valued the non-materialistic contributions of their members as much and sometimes more than financial gains. It is very intriguing how years can change the worth of certain aspects and how that can fluctuate from place to place and person to person as well.
