Atheletes and entertainers earn a huge amount of money, which reflects people's dependence on entertainment. To what extent do you agree? Today, being an athlete or entertainer are two of the most popular occupations and can result in enormous earnings. I generally agree with the statement that the large incomes of these jobs reflects the strong demand for entertainment in today's society because people need entertainment for leisure which is a substantial part of their well-being, although high salaries for those professionals also reflects corporations' exploitation of the current tax system. Entertainment plays an important role in people's well-being. It provides an enjoyable down-time to recharge one's batteries and an opportunity to connect with others sharing similar interests. After a long day, people often feel like winding down with TV shows or hanging out with friends at a sport bar. These activities help remove stress and increase life satisfaction. Many people do not mind paying for such experiences, thereby the money ends up in athletes' and entertainers' pockets. On the other hand, businesses make the most of athletes and entertainers for advertisements and tax deductions. Companies expect them to increase their publicity. The more media coverage they get, the more willing companies are to pay for them. In addition, advertising expenses are deductible from taxable revenue, and salaries for them can be treated as an advertising cost. That is one reason many corporations put considerable resources into athletes or entertainers. In conclusion, although companies have marketing and financial intentions too, high earnings of athletes and entertainers illustrate the popularity of entertainment among people today.
