Nowadays, modern society has turn greed and selfishness into basis human being. However, there is an ongoing debate about whether traditional values such as respect should be brought back. This essay will go through these two viewpoints before describe my standpoint, which is my belief that people should recognize how traditional values are essential in every society.
On one hand, the respect traditional is not necessary, and it is too old to fit in today’s world. Some people live their lives by relying on themselves not others; they believe in whatever can lead them to be successful, then anything else is not important. Nowadays, many people’s goal is to make money for living, stuck with the old perspective may slower their succeed. Therefore, many people of this new generation prefer to believe in themselves rather than stuck with the old rules.
On the other hand, referring to my perspective, greed and selfishness are too normalized, staying with these personalities may cause problems. First, the lack of empathy probably increased the rate of crime. There was a news where a girl got hurt, but everyone around her only care about themselves and nobody helps her. Making she become a victim of violence without any help, which is not justify. Moreover, the world full of selfishness may cause mental well-being issues. Living in a place where people not respect each other is not different from being around hatred, which possibly gain the stress. And cannot be denied that stress is one of the vast factors that cause mental health problems and is hard to resolve.
