MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS vs FILM ACTORS
You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.
Do you think that medical professionals and engineers must be paid more as compared to
film actors?
You should write at least 250 words.
Apropos of the statement, I strongly believe that medical professionals and engineers must be
paid more as compared to film actors. By pragmatic cognizance, one can understand that
doctors and engineers are the buttress of our society and economy.
Doctors and nurses are individuals who not only work for a living, but also contribute to our
society. They are the people who can be regarded as the “Hands of God". Reason being they
save our lives, hence, make this planet a better place to live in. If one really wants to
understand what it means to be a doctor, ask them, they will tell that you must have a “heart of
a lion and hands of a weaver" in order to be a doctor. It is so true. Doctors and nurses
improve our quality of lives. They contribute to the community in ways different to any other
professions.
Similarly, teachers are also the building blocks of our society. They educate us in order to
make us successful in our professional and personal lives. Mentors make us realize our true
potential and our responsibilities as an individual. Personally speaking, they are the
messengers of angels who teach us how our life should be. They give us a sense of direction
in our lives. They show us the way to success.
Doctors, teachers and nurses are undoubtedly, the pillars of any nation. Therefore, it becomes
imperative to understand that they must be paid well in order to help build our community not
just for themselves, but for the whole society. Doctors and nurses should be paid according to
their ranks and their departments. Higher the precision required, higher should be the pay.
Similarly, teachers should be paid according to their rank and qualifications. And one most
important thing is to increment their salaries every year to keep them motivated.
On the contrary to these professions, actors should not be paid huge amounts for their acting.
Main reason being apart of showing their sexuality, emotions and their violent nature, they
sometimes exhibit wrong ideas in our society. I feel they have a limited contribution to our
community as compared to any other profession.
In a nutshell, I would like to assert that doctors, teachers and nurses should be paid well as
compared to actors. The main reason is because doctors, teachers and nurses contribute to our
society constructively. On the other hand, film industry at times, actually contribute
destructively towards exhibiting necessary vulgarity and to our community.
