Reflection

What were the total hours spent on the product?

A. Research

I spent a total of five hours on my research. During my hours I spent I have

learned so much. My research has helped me to realize the increase and decrease of the

men salaries. The research has helped me to understand what should I do to let the

younger teenagers know about the men salaries, and why they are rated so high. Some

people think since they are men, their salaries should be rated high. While doing my

research there are many different reasons why men are the top salary markers.

B. Product

My product consist of surveying, comparing, and showing graphs of the

professional basketball salaries. I will be surveying people from my school and church.

Iam going to compare the NBA with the WNBA. I will have a chart set up showing many

different graphs. I also will be taking pictures of my product showing all things I have

done.

C. Mentor

I spent more than twenty- five hours with mentor. She has helped me to

understand what my topic was all about. She gave me ideas of what I should do for my product. She explained all the reasons why men make the most money in playing

professional basketball. My mentor also helped me realize that this project is very

serious. My mentor and I have learn so much form each other while we were spending

time together.

    The article “Do Professional Athletes get Paid too much Money” is written by Mihir Bhagat a senior analyst. Bhagat believes professional athletes make too much money. In his article he explains the amount of money someone is paid should be based on the economic importance and value of the job for society (1). He thinks playing a game isn’t very important when it comes to society (1). Bhagat states that teachers and even the president of the United States get paid less than professional athletes. The article then lists some of the other workers that are paid less than professional athletes such as firefighters, police officers, military workers, and doctors. This fact is truly sad because these people protect and save people in this country while…

    The Sports Industry, specifically in the United States, is composed of multiple sports with multiple franchises that cumulatively bring in billions of dollars per year. With all of the money earned from ticket sales, merchandising, and endorsement, it is easy for the lowest paid players in leagues to still make hundreds of thousands of dollars. Since there are so many petitions for professional sports, there is a huge sum of money invested into each franchise. Some athletes are paid amounts that seem exorbitant. “Matthew Stafford, the No. 1 Pick in the 2009 Draft, was selected by the Detroit Lions and given a six-year, $41.7 million deal with a total value of $78 million.” (Clayton)…

    First, she talked about if you don’t like your topic, don’t force it because it helps for you to actually be invested in your topic in some way which would force you to actually to want to write it. If you just choose a topic for no reason it sometimes leads to procrastination and making the whole project way harder than it needs to be. She also talked to us about the importance of the conclusion. Personally, I never really liked the conclusion because I feel really forced to figure up how to wrap about my paper when I established everything I wanted to say in the body paragraphs. As a result, my conclusion ends up being about 2-3 sentences worth of just trying to figure out some way to end. Her ideas for a conclusion were helpful because she said its important to state why this topic mattered to you, why should it matter to others, and reinstate key points, and (optionally) close about something you learned. I think that I’ll use her suggestions for how to write a conclusion next time because this was probably the most helpful advice from the whole…

    The purpose of this research is to determine whether or not women who are working the same types of jobs, with the same amount of education and experience are being compensated the same as men. Although women have made a significant pace in entering the workforce and in exploring a wider range of occupations, they may still be treading behind in wages earned compared to their male counterparts. Many years ago, it was thought that because women were not as well educated as men, did not have as much experience as men, and did not work as hard as men that the range of pay should not be the same. This is no longer true and women have been graduating from college at the same rate as men and are working just as hard as men. However, the wage gap between men and women remains and nationally, women earn 77 cents for every $1 earned by men (Head, 2008).…

But was I wrong coming the second week I got homework from all three of my classes.

    In Douglas Looney’s article, “Overpaid Athletes? It’s Fans That Make Them So” he declares that “[athletes] [are] obscenely and grossly overpaid.” In today’s society, one will be paid more if their occupation is more significant to society’s well-being. However, teaching is one of the most important professions because our future economy relies on the education of its adolescence, yet teachers are paid a fraction of the average professional athlete. The U.S. President makes choices that affect our economy and country yet according to the author of the article, “How Much Does the President Make Each Year,” the U.S. President makes only “400,000” dollars per year. Professional athletes do not play nearly as vital role in the economy as the president, but their salaries reveal otherwise. In Matt Bracken’s article, “Are Pro Athletes Really Overpaid,” he depicts that “the average MLB salary…was recently reported to be 3.34 million dollars.” These sports are theoretically supposed to be played for fun, not for millions of dollars. Athletes say they risk their well-being every game and every training session, but fire fighters, police officers, and military personnel have the same risks yet are not being paid millions of dollars. According to the author of “Police and Detectives” the author claims that police officers make an average of “55,000” dollars per year and firefighters make “47,000” dollars per year. Also according to the author of “Assessing Pay and Benefits for Military Personnel” military personnel make an average of”29,000-89,000” dollars per year. Their jobs are more significant to the economy and society yet are extremely underpaid. Doctors are well paid, but some doctors go through procedures that can change a person’s life. For example a surgeon can perform a transplant and save another human being’s life yet is still being paid less than the average…
