Task answer

A lot of people follow accounts about famous people in social media and on TV. They are interested in all aspects of celebrities' private life and especially in their salary. The news about how much money a famous actor was paid for his play in a new film, is widely discussed everywhere. In this essay I wili present different points of view on the question of fair pay for celebrities and will explain my proper opinion. Surely, honorarios of actors, musicians, sports stars are mind-blowing. To get ten million dollars for one match or one concert — for ordinary people it sounds fantastic. The reasonable question is — why doctors or firefighters are not paid so high? Even considering how much useful are their types of job. In fact, the main secret of enormous honorarios for celebrities is their popularity. The more people pay attention to the protagonist on a TV screen, the more successful is commercial which follows the film. It works the same way for another events where a star performs. Sadly, even the best firefighter in the world is nor able to sell chocolate bars or dishwasher so effectively as a high-ranked pop-musucian. Should jobs like socially significant jobs of firefighter, teacher, doctor or policeman be highly paid? I'd rather give them enough money for their altruisme and enthousiasme, but we live in the world there market reigns. Jobs useful for market are high paid, like celebrities who can sell a lot of goods to spectators, or businessmen who operate commercials and selling goods.
