Name one practice belief or system that people accept as normal but should be questioned.

In our society if a person earns a lot of money owns a big house or has a high position we call them successful. On the other hand someone who chooses a simple life earns less or follows their passion is often seen as unsuccessful. This way of thinking is very common but i believe it should be questioned. Success is not the same for everyone and money alone cannot decide a person’s worth happiness or contribution to society.

Why do you think people rarely challenge it?

One big reason is social pressure. From childhood we are taught by family schools and society that good grades lead to a good job and a good job leads to respect. People fear being judged or misunderstood if they think differently. Another reason is comparison. Social media shows luxury lifestyles expensive cars and perfect lives making people believe this is the only definition of success. When everyone around us believes the same thing it becomes hard to challenge it even if it feels wrong inside.

What could improve if this “normal” way changed?

If society stopped measuring success only by money many positive changes could happen. People would feel free to choose careers they truly love such as teaching art writing or social work without feeling ashamed. Mental health would improve because people would stop running in a stressful race to prove themselves. Relationships would become healthier because people would value kindness honesty and peace instead of bank balance. Children would grow up with confidence knowing that their value is not limited to marks or income. Society would become more balanced and humane.

What might be lost if it disappeared completely?

If the idea of financial success disappeared fully it could reduce motivation for some people. Money is important for survival comfort and progress. It helps in development education and innovation. If people stop caring about financial stability at all it could lead to laziness or lack of responsibility. Therefore money should not be ignored completely but it should not be the only standard of success. Balance is the key. In my opinion the problem is not money itself but giving it too much importances. We need to rethink the normal and understand that success can mean inner peace good health strong relationships helpings others and living honestly. When we change the way we think we changed the way we live.
