Người viết: thầy Cao Bách (IELTS 8.0)

Bài hoàn chỉnh

As society progresses, long-standing virtues such as honor, kindness and trust have become less important, while materialistic values are considered more modern principles upon which people are judged. I disagree with this opinion and would argue that a person’s worth should not be measured solely based on their wealth, but on more traditional qualities as well.

First, judging one’s worth based on social status can be inaccurate since it does not reflect a person’s trustworthiness. It is often observed that excessive influence and money are linked to selfish behaviors and low levels of personal responsibility. There have been many examples of the affluent engaging in fraudulent acts, such as the recent Ivy League college scandal in the US, in which several esteemed families abused their statuses to bribe their children into major universities.

It has been proven that traditional virtues such as kindness and compassion are the best indicators of a person’s trustworthiness. Regardless of one’s material possessions, if they are willing to risk their lives to save others or strive to honor even the most trivial of promises, they should be offered the highest level of respect. Historical figures like Abraham Lincoln, Mahatma Gandhi, Buddha and Jesus received admiration because they are the paragons of honesty, responsibility and compassion.

In conclusion, riches and power are ultimately ostentatious displays that cannot conceal an individual’s corruption. Kindness and trust might be underappreciated but they are the true qualities to determine someone’s worth.
