Some famous athletes and entertainers earn millions of dollars every year. Do these people deserve such high salaries? Different people hold different opinions due to different backgrounds. As far as I am concerned, I agree that these people deserve such high salaries because the high salaries are a reasonable return on their past endeavor, their contribution to their employers, and their value to our society. The following discussion will substantiate my view.
The first plain truth, I am presenting here, is that high salaries is a reasonable return on their endeavor in the past several years. Take a music student as an example. A music student needs as long and as arduous a training to become a well-known singer, as a medical student to become a proficient doctor. Before one becomes famous, he or she earns little, millions of dollars a year after one becomes famous, therefore, compensate for his or her previous loss, previous laborious training without a penny. If this example is accurate, it is reasonable to conclude that these famous people deserve such high salaries.
Secondly, these famous people deserve such high salaries not only because of their previous endeavors, but also because of their economic value to their employers. If a famous singer shows on a concert, much more people will buy tickets with even higher price, which in turn brings greater profit to the employer running the concert. Therefore, the more famous a entertainer, the more profit he or she creates for his or her boss. Don't you think they deserve such high salaries?
Last but not least, behind my view that they deserve such high salaries lies the fact that these famous athletes or entertainers make great contribution to our society, our country, and even our world. Some earned fame for our country in Olympic games, such as Deng Ya Ping, a famous ping-pang ball player, others devoted themselves into charity and donated almost most of their wealth, such as Zhan san, a famous singer in China. Don't you think these examples are very persuasive? So, the most striking conclusion is obvious that these famous people deserve their high salaries for their contribution to our society, our country, and even our world.
To sum up, due to the above-presented reasons, which sometimes correlate with each other to form an organic whole and become more persuasive than any single one of them, we can safely reach the conclusion that these famous athletes or entertainers deserve their high salaries. |
