A person's worth nowadays seems to be judged according to social status and material possessions. Old-fashioned values, such as honour, kindness and trust, no longer seem important.
evaluating people
Opinions differ as to whether measuring one's value by their social influence and personal properity or traditional morality. In my view, I truly believe that people should be judged by traditional values.
On the one hand, the gap between the two classes of society is widened leading to a misconception that the rich are regarded as more respected and admirable than the poor. Take celebrities, for example, they are the best symbols of power and influence in the world. Along with their fame, their personalities in some way become worse and worse. Many of them have lost themselves after a long time rolling in money, which means they totally become a slave of their own reputation and imaginary happiness. As a result, those people tend to be mean or badly-behaved which makes them betray their friends and families.
On the other hand, I still believe that traditional values such as honor, kindness and trust are the best way of judging one's worth. First, most people build their friendships and love relationships according to old-fashioned standards. In fact, a true friend you know from the bottom of your heart would be better than a rich and famous one when you need someone to confide in and share your sorrows. Second, more and more people having high qualifications and certain influence which makes recruiters find it difficult to choose the most suitable ones for their companies. So I think old-fashioned values will be the only factor to classify among the best employers.
In conclusion, although glamour and prosperity have somehow been predominant, there are also people who believe that traditional values still play an important role in life.Holt Educational Consultant - / 14,835 
4783 Tadey, here is the thing, you are being asked to write an "extent" essay in response to this prompt. Since that "extent" is requirement for the discussion instruction, your opening statement, though interesting and appropriate to a certain degree, you don't really accomplish the task accuracy requirement of the essay. Consider this more properly representative prompt paraphrase as an example for your future reference:
There is a discussion these days that considers a person's value as directly tied to his personal wealth and social position. It appears that the traditional values of honour, kindness, and trust are no longer considered vital to a person's sense of self-worth. I totally disagree with the prior statement and, in this essay, I will explain why traditional values are still important.
The main fault in your discussion comes from the way that you formatted your original prompt response. You framed it as a single opinion essay and then discussed it as a 2 opinion essay with a personal opinion at the end. In that case, the proper "extent" statement for your response should have been:
"I disagree with the prior statement about wealth and social status being the new measurement of a person's value to a certain extent due to several reasons that I will be discussing in this essay."
Using the above discussion instruction format, your essay allows itself to discuss 2 points of view and a personal opinion instead. Always make sure that you refer to the correct "extent" discussion in your presentations so you can score more in the TA section.

Thank you for your valuable advice!

Hi, I'd like to give you an example to paraphrase the prompt:
Opinions differ as... =>
These days, it appears that social rankings and tangible possessions are the sole criteria for a person's worth. Honor, kindness, trust and other old-fashioned values seem to have faded in significance...
" tangible possession" is a synonym of "material possession", as in /material+possession
