Linux bash script:
#!/bin/bash
function Print()
{
echo $1
}
var="*"
Print $var
Execution results:
alex@alex-linux:~/tmp$ ./sample-script sample-script
* is expanded to the list of files, which is actually script itself. How can I prevent this and see actual variable value? In general case, var can be more complicated than *, for example: home/alex/mydir/*.

you need to escape your variables, too:
Print "$var"
And in your function:
echo "$1"
