Some people believe that it is unfair
that famous athletes and entertainers earn a lot of money, and they do not
deserve the large amounts of money they are paid. It is undeniable that the
amount of money they are paid is quite enormous. However, I believe that they
deserve the amounts of money they are paid. In the following paragraphs, I will
explain why I think this way in detail.
To begin with, famous athletes and
entertainers help people maintain mental health. Today’s
people have various duties to do, such as work, study, and keep their
relationships with others, so it is very common for them to suffer from stress.
Because even low-level stress can disturb concentration and cause mental
illnesses including depression and insomnia, it is vital for today’s people to manage stress properly. Considering this, people
can benefit from famous athletes and entertainers a lot. This is due to the
fact that famoust athletes and entertainers make people forget about their problems while they are
watching famous athletes’ moving and listening to
entertainers’ talks. As a result, they can avoid being
stressed and relieve stress. My personal experience can be a good example of
this. Recently, I studied for my final exam. Even the times when I was not
actually studying, I was under severe mental pressure. Therefore, I could not
focus on what I had to do. One day, I decided to take a study break and watched
a basketball game of my favorite team. While I was watching the fantastic
moving and shots of Stephan Curry, I was able to lose in myself without
suffering from stress. In addition, after watching the game, I became feeling
better. I realized that If I had not watched Stephan Curry’s
play, I could not have relieved stress.
On top of that, famous athletes and
entertainers help people keep physical health. For today’s
people, It is very important to have strong immune systems because robust
immune systems make them be less susceptible to diseases, such as cold and
pneumonia, which are caused by viruses and bacteria. Therefore, Iit is very important for them to have strong immune
systems. In consideration of this, famous athletes and entertainers can benefit
them. This is attributed to the fact that exercise and laughter stimulate
people’s immune cells to fight more actively against
viruses and bacteria so that people can have stronger immune systems. Famous
athletes usually motivate people to do exercise like them and famous
entertainers can make people laugh. In this way, they can enable people to stay
physically healthy. A study conducted by Tokyo University shows this is true.
Researchers performed the study with people of similar health status. Half of
the people were required to watch famous athletes’ sports
games and entertainers’ talk shows regularly, but the
other half were required not to do so. After a year, researchers measured all
the people’s immunity levels. The result was that, in
general, those who watched games and talk shows regularly had more active
immune cells and higher immunity levels, so it turned out that those people
were more healthy.
To sum up,
famous athletes and entertainers help people maintain both mental and physical
health. In this regard, they deserve to be paid a great deal of money.
