This assignment begins with a data analysis of computer ownership trends and educational levels from 2002 to 2010, summarizing the key findings from provided graphs. The analysis reveals the increasing rates of computer ownership across different educational backgrounds. Following the data analysis, the assignment shifts to a discussion on social values, exploring the extent to which individuals judge others based on social status and possessions. The author expresses their disagreement with this trend, arguing for the importance of traditional values and the potential for social and material values to change over time. The assignment emphasizes the need to reassess the benchmarks used to evaluate individuals and the importance of preserving the fundamental capability to form deep and meaningful relationships.

TASK 1
Summarise the information by choosing and reporting the key features and make comparisons
where relevant.
From the mentioned first graph it can be summarised and concluded that in 2002, the
percentage of population of computer ownership is 55%and it is creasing year by year. As in
2004 it maximised by 5% and it becomes 60%. Similarly, in year 2006, it maximises by 5% and
become considered as 65%, in 2008 it monitored as 70% and in 2020 it is determined as 75%
with the increment of 5%.
From the second graph, the computer ownership by educational level and percentage of
population can be summarised with the data of year 2002 to 2010. In 2002 the percentage of no
of high school diploma is 15% and in 2010, it is considered as 45% and increment of 30%

and in context of post graduation qualification, the percentage of population was 8in 2002, 80%
and in 2010 was 95%.
To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? Give reasons for your answer and
include and any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
These days, individual seem to judge a person’s value based on social position and
possessions, instead of considering other values, more spiritual, which now seem to belong to the
past. I believe that this tendency is getting stronger and it represents a big loss in our values. The
first deliberation is the importance that social status and economic power have in our
community, as they seem to be a cornerstone of our relations system at each level: at work, in
our friendships we tend to act in several forms depending on the social status of the individual
we are rating to. Moreover, there is no doubt that we live in a society that is highly supported to
economy and money. As an outcome, it is obvious that anyone who owns more than us do seem
to be a high value person. However, I believe that is a external form of judging individual. I
think that we should reassess that are the largely adequate benchmarks to measure an individual.
So the second reflection is the material and social values can change with time in easier form
which states that they are not stable at all.

In term of summarisation, it is up to change the form we judge individual, by returning to
connect essentialness to those old fashioned values we appear to have misplaced. If we do not do
this, we may absolutely misplace the fundamental capability to make deep or strong relations.
