Example 3 
The film, music and sports industry is a robust industry that many people in the world 
use as entertainment. However, the debate of whether or not these entertainers are 
earning too much money has always been a question people have been arguing 
about. I strongly disagree that they are getting paid too much money. This is because 
there are lots of stressful things as viewers we don’t see behind the scenes. However, 
I also believe that some others jobs should be earning more money than these 
entertainers. These jobs are nurses and police officers.
I firmly believe that entertainers are not earning too much money this is because of 
the amount of hardship these entertainers face behind the scenes that as viewers we 
are not able to see. During 2012, a Korean K-POP singer JungHyun committed 
suicide from all the stress he received as a singer. From his suicide letter, he wrote 
that he was 
overly 
stress
ed
from the life he had. He also wrote that although it may 
seem like he gained a lot of money and fame, most people don’t understand that half 
of the money he receives goes to the company. Meaning that he doesn’t have enough 
money to even support himself and therefore chose to end his life. From this example, 
we can see that many actors don’t get enough money to support themselves.
Furthermore, I also believe that there should be other jobs that should be earning 
much more money than they are currently making. These jobs are nurses and police 
officers. Nurses are always seen as the doctor's shadows. However, I believe that 
nurses should earn more money because they are the ones taking care of the patient
s
and providing physical and mental comfort. In 2001, the nurses in Prince Hospital 
went on
strike. They were against the fact that they were being paid too little money. 
This strike was very successful because without these nurses the patients had 
nobody to talk to and there health depleted. Another job that I believe should earn 
more money is police officers. This is because police officers are essential for our 
safety. They patrol the streets making sure we are safe from crime. In 2015, 
the 
BBC 
interviewed police officers in Maine asking them about their paycheck. The police 
officer replied saying that they are gaining so little money that they are afraid of 
getting hurt in case of having to pay a considerable sum 
in
medical fee
s
. From these 
examples, we can see that jobs such as nurses and police officers should be highly 
paid.
