33. "Creating an appealing image has become more important in contemporary
society than is the reality or truth behind that image."

The speaker asserts that creating an appealing image has become more
important in contemporary society than is the reality or truth behind that
image. I disagree completely with the assertion of speaker despite the
trends placing emphasis on the appealing image of these days because I
believe that the real value of something is shown only through the reality or
truth behind that image.

More than anything else, it is true that these days place more emphasis
on the appealing image than anything else with attachment to sensationalism.
A person is sometimes seduced to purchase some goods without considering its
value and regrets. These trends would be more and more by the trends seeking
more stimulus of people for the future. For showing this, it is not difficult
that we see a person who is not surprised through a stimulus.

On the other hand, a real value should be placed more emphasis than
being shown. Few people disagree with the statement that just being shown is
not durable but things having a real value would be continue for a long time.
For instance, I have many experiences that the quality of stuff that I
purchased by the attraction of appearance give me disappointment. It can be
applied to not only a stuff but also a person. We sometimes make friend by
the attraction of their appearance but we have always disappointed them.
However, the friends who have a real value give us many benefits and we want
to be friends with them as we know them more and more.

In conclusion, it is true that these days place more value on the
appearance. However, although the world has changed by now, it is unchangable
truth that either those who or things which have a real value or truth give
people more and more attractions as a person knows either him or it. Although
its meaning is dimmed with time going by, a real value is more important in
contemporary society.
