Topic: Nowadays, celebrities earn more money than politicians. What are the reasons for this? Is this a positive or negative development?

#topic #celebrities #money #politicians #development
There is a fact that
luminaries
Suggestion
the luminaries
 of
entertainment
 have a higher
income
 than politicians these days.
This
 can be credited to the magnitude of technological developments. Personally, I do not consider it as a positive trend because
this
 may lead to political corruption. It cannot be denied that
entertainment
 is one of the most lucrative industries. The reason
entertainment
 programmes draw more attention than political ones is that people prefer to watch amusing shows after a hard-working day. Celebs have received a generous salary from a wide range of social media like
Youtube
Suggestion
YouTube
, Instagram, Facebook. It is shown that a household name on
Youtube
Suggestion
YouTube
 can earn up to VND 100m a month.
In addition
, the main source of
income
 of stars is from an inordinate amount of commercial ads due to the mushrooming of companies.
However
, I believe that the great disparity in salary between celebs and officials may lead to embezzlement issues. It is claimed that political corruption can be directly attributed to low
income
. Some politicians hold the opinion that they should have been paid much more than stars for their valuable contributions,
thus
 they are not satisfied with their salaries and find an unacceptable way to earn more money.
Besides
, if the luminaries of
entertainment
 have a higher
income
 than the luminaries of politics, it seems like the younger generation will tend to want to become a showbiz star; which can lead to the fact that the government will be lacking political cadres in the future. In conclusion, I do admire celebs’
fame
a contest with rules to determine a winner
game
 as well as their
luxury
Suggestion
luxurious
 lives, but I do not agree the
politicians’
Suggestion
politician’s
 salary is having a long gap compared to showbiz stars.
