Recently, a fierce discussion about whether some experts, like teachers and doctors who are dedicated more to society, should receive higher salaries than celebrities such as sports stars or entertainment personalities sparked attention among people. From my standpoint, I agree those experts deserve a pay-rise.
On one hand, bridging the gap between the income brackets among different working groups could promote the development of young adults. It is common to witness a famous celebrity who can easily earn a huge amount of money, which is untouchable for the average person. And some of them even try various ways to avoide paying taxes, which arouse negative effects on society as a whole, setting an adverse model for teenagers. Therefore, teenagers are enticed to follow their idols, endeavoring to become famous instead of delving into a specific field to make contributions to the country. By escalating the salaries of professionals like teachers or doctors, youngsters can be encouraged to step into academic domains, which could lead to more practical results, benefiting themselves and society as well.
On the other hand, higher income given to professionals allows further advancement in a wide range of industries, which will eventually lift up the international status of the country. For example, if doctors earn decent money every month, they would devote more energy to doing researches to discoveries how to cure a specific disease or how to take good care of people’s health. When these treatments or new discovers are acknowledged by the world, they can help more patients who are suffering. Finally, the achievements will improve the countries’ reputation on the international stage. Otherwise, doctors will strive for a living by treating more patients or occupying part-time jobs, then the results mentioned before can never be achieved.
In conclusion, I believe that minimizing the income brackets between professionals and celebrities can yield pleasant results both for young adults and the country in a wide range of domains.
