▶ Your Answer : Some people contend that sports stars do not deserve high salaries. However, In my opinion, sports stars do desrve high salaries for the following reasons. First, they are being paid for their effort. Second, it helps people to broaden their perspective.
First of all , sports stars are being paid according to their efforts to become famous. Nowadays ,people are living in a highly contentious life, and everyone tries to acquire an outcompetiting advantage over others. In this society with fierce competition, it is difficult to become famous or the best in one's field. To become a sports star, one must have focused on their work , to meet the requirements that they need for success. Thus, as effort must be equal to their salaries, I believe this is right in the capitalist society. For example, Kim yuna is a very famous former South Korean figure skater. She is considered as a sports star, who gains a lot of interest of others. She is now retired, however, she is involved in various fields such as coatching and TV advertisements. She earns much money after her success in figure skating and I think this is reasonable. This is because I saw a documentary of her life, and she had gone through very hectic schedule to become a famous sports star. She had varous problems but with effort and endurance, she overcame with it. Therefore, I believe sports stars deserve high salaries.
Second, people can enhance their insights and outlooks because of these sports stars. While growing up, people are immersed by certain types of knowledge and information about this worldthrough formalized education. The problem with this is that these information and knowledge only convey the source's viewpoint and they can easily become shrtsighted without having any changes to braden their perspective. Therefore, in order to have deeper views of the world and become more cultured, sports players becoming famous and actively involving in other fields encourage others to broaden their perspective. For example, a survey was conducted after the 2008 Olympic in China. More than 2000 participants joined to respond to this survey. The question was : Why do you enjoy watching olympic games? The majority of the participants responded that it was due to various techniques and skills that they never new before. Many found it interesting to see a different sports stars that won. This led to think of actually becoming a sports player too. This proves how olympic stars can influence people's perspective, making them to think further in other fields such as sports.
