Traditional values have been lost | IELTS Writing Task 2

People nowadays work hard to buy more things. This has generally made our lives more comfortable, but many traditional values and customs have been lost and this is a pity.

To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Material comforts are believed by modern man as a pursuit of happiness to achieve better financial status. This case might be the cost of denying traditional value systems and customs. I believe, although some people get in touch in this category, the majority of society still upholds traditional values even if they obtain material prosperity.

It cannot be denied that children should respect for elderly parents which is one of traditional values, but it does not mean where today’s families must be allowed to involve into the affairs of children’s lives and decisions. In fact, children in modern era follow their own ways and are more independent to stand on their feet earlier than before. So that does not mean that they do not have respectful. Nowadays, the freedom of children’s act is sometimes as wrong assumption because that is often misinterpreted as lack of respect for their parents. Therefore, this actually can be as an example that traditional values remain unchanged, although children’s expression may take different forms in the passage of time.

People in the past got accustomed to visit their neighborhood as a favorite custom, which contributed in their relationship with their neighborhood. However, since people today are too busy as they work for long hours in order to meet their demands of modern life, this is not possible today closely with their neighborhood. But there still engages between neighborhood clubs and similar groups in which people can meet during weekends and gather in the small social activities that involve the greater chance to build up a friendly relationship with people close to them.

In conclusion, people who pursuit their material prosperity cannot be judge that they lead to loss of traditional values. However, although the circumstance change, man remains the same old ethical being.
