Some people say that professional workers such as doctors, nurses and teachers who make greater contributions to the society should be paid more than those people in the field of sports and entertainment. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is generally believed that professional

workers

like doctors, nurses and teachers should get a higher income than people in other less important fields

such

as sports and entertainment

However

, I disagree with the idea that associating salaries solely with the social value of a specific job. There are reasons why some people tend to say that professionals in the medical and educational fields should earn higher salaries than athletes or actors. There is no doubt that doctors and nurses do play a key role in saving people’s lives.

For example

, without their hardworking, we couldn’t have saved millions of patients’ lives and controlled the COVID-19 pandemic. As for teachers, their proficiency is dispensable for the cultivation of future well-educated

workers

needed by various industries.

On the contrary

, athletes and actors do not have much of a role to play in these aspects.

However

,

although

it seems that professional

workers

make more contributions to society than those who are engaged in sports and entertainment, it doesn’t mean that the former should obtain higher

payment

Replace the word

pay

show examples

than the latter.

First,

salary can’t just depend on contributions. It

also

relies on the business value created by the person. Famous athletes and movie stars may deserve better economic returns because they can generate more advertising profit. What’s more, they can

also

play a key role in society. YangQian,

for example

, gained impressive achievement. She won the first gold medal for China in the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, which can significantly boost Chinese national pride. In a nutshell, it is unreasonable

to conclude

that professional

workers

deserve better salaries because of their social importance. People in the field of sports and entertainment may deserve better income as they may create more business value and

also

make contributions to society.
