I want to talk about what gives status to my family and my neighborhoods in my village.
If someone goes to my village, he/she will find that most of the houses are tall. This is not because people there are rich, but because this is a thing that they think can give them high status . As a result, in my village, people do their best to build a high house for their family even though they can just eat turnip everyday. My father and mother also think so. They work hard and want to build a high house in my village even though we have already left our country. This is their value and brief. They believe that no matter where they stay, a good and high house in the village can represent many things of them, such as ability, personality and also riches. However, I don't agree. I think it doesn't present anything but vanity. Just like a person, if he only has a good appearance but lack of self-cultivation, maybe he will be appreciated in a short term, but what about a long term? I think education is one of important factors that can contribute to people's status because it can help people get good self-cultivation, good relationship,and also power!
I agree that educiaton is an important factor that contribute to status, in this time.
回复删除you are correct. i agree with you
回复删除Well, most Chinese think that having own houses, wealth and power represent their higher status, epecially the elder generation. However, I don't think it is the most important for the status. We should improve ourselves through studying,reading and so on to get the status we want.
