In current days, society is highlighting that celebrities make more profit from their
job
rather than politicians. In my opinion, I tend to say that
this
condition is a truly good movement and in
this
essay, I will elaborate my ideas.
Firstly
, with actors or singers earning huge incomes, it is a sign that the creative industry is increasing and new
job
opportunities are widely open.
For example
, during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, numerous people started to create videos on TikTok, which is a creative video application.
As a result
, many influencers were born at that time, mainly saying they earned more than 50 million rupiah income per month, plus popularity.
Moreover
, they decided to continue their activity as a career. Because by just posting a video, they can make money.
Secondly
, if the folks of a country have a huge income, it will be good for the country itself. It will reduce poverty, and be useful to advance the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
In addition
, the development of celebrities, singers,
as well as
influencers can inspire a lot of people to have the same
job
as them in order to get a high salary.
For instance
, a 14-year-old girl from the countryside of Indonesia started her singing career by making cover videos on YouTube, she said she was inspired by Niki Zefanya, who began her international career in the United States by uploading videos on YouTube.
To sum up
, celebrities getting high income especially if they can get higher pay than politicians is
such
a great development. The impacts are wide, for the community,
this
can create new
job
opportunities, and inspire others,
as well as
for the nation itself, it can reduce poor conditions among people.
