As soon as I read Courtney’s first paragraph I knew I could relate to the same problem as she does. I agree with her, the world today does seem to only revolve around money, looks, and materials. Usually, it mattered if you were a nice person; today the world sees a person much differently. It doesn’t matter if you have a good heart, really all that matters is how expensive your car is and what brand clothing you wear. This shows how people are judged by their appearance and not the type of person you were.
I also first realized this was happening in high school. I am from a decently wealthy town where mostly everyone judges you for what you have and look like. If you were ugly, fat, didn’t wear nice clothes or have a nice car, most people didn’t like you. In my school there were clicks between every friend group. No one could like anyone if they were different from you. If my friends and I saw someone getting picked on we were right there sticking up for them. I hate it when people are mean to others because they are different. When someone is making fun of someone it just shows that they are insecure about themselves. This is problem in most high schools where they are too immature to accept others for who they are. If someone is different from you, it doesn’t make him or her a bad person. Most people don’t realize that, but eventually they will.
Money is the one of the major issues and main focus today. Everything is so expensive and taxes are much higher. The price of gas went up to around $4.30. This is extremely expensive and most people don’t have the money to spend 50 to 60 dollars on gas every other week. Not only the prices of gas is going up but also food and other necessary goods. The prices of stuff you actually need are going up and most people are buying really expensive cars and clothes that aren’t necessary to buy the most expensive of. It’s a waste of money and isn’t necessary like gas and food are. Most people are buying expensive materials to impress others so people like then.
I agree with Courtney, most people do buy the most expensive clothes and cars just to impress people. I think this is ridiculous and people should stop worrying about what other people think about you and stop judging people for what they have and don’t. Sometimes people judge me and think I judge people on what they have and look like. When I hear that it really makes me upset to think people think I am like that. Although people may think I am that type of person I am not. I do not judge people before I get to meet them and see what type of person they really are. I don’t not like someone because of their appearance because most of the time they are really nice, caring people. When I first meet somebody I am shy, but once I get to know him or her I connect to them really easily. I love making new friends and learning about others differences. If everyone were the same the world would be so boring. If someone judges a person on their looks, they are usually the people who don’t have many friends and typically don’t like themselves for who they are. This is a major problem with many high school students.
I also believe that the world would be a better place if everyone stopped judging everyone for what they have and appreciate what you have. If people stopped judging others for what they look like and how much money they have, everyone would have muss less to worry about. There is a lot more to a person besides their looks and economic status. People should appreciate the things they have and focus on other more important things in life.
