Should entertainers and sports stars be paid such large sums of money? What are your views.
In today's world, the distribution of money and power is completely unfair. It is true that there are billions of people out there who are starving at this very moment. Perhaps they might not even have a roof over their heads. Charitable organizations complain that they do not have enough money to support so many people. If money was spent in the right areas, this might not have been the case.
A fireman works his hours just to save people. He puts other people's lives before his, surely his occupation deserves a higher prestige than a pop star who shows up in a few gigs a month and spends all his day whining about how difficult life is. Or for instance a farmer, a farmer devotes his life to his crop, due to his efforts, hundreds of mouths are fed. Does he not deserve to earn more than a football players who earns millions of dollars just for kicking a ball around? These football players are bought off by clubs like domestic animals, large sums of money are spent just to get them to play one game. That money could have indeed be spent in a much more worth while organization
The truth is, the media plays an important role in blinding are view. They portray celebrities and sportsmen as heroes in such a way that we forget who are real heroes are. In my opinion, action should be taken to provide people with worth occupations a higher living standard. Together, we can all create a better world.
