5. Selective ExposureAvoiding contrary informationSelecting
information consistent with existing beliefs
Post-decision dissonance 1- the more important the issue2- the
longer an individual delays in choosing between two equally
attractive options3- the greater the difficulty involved in
reversing the decision once its been made
A need for reassurance, that you have made the right choice.
Minimal justificationTo get attitude change: offer just enough
incentive to elicit counter-attitudinal behavior
Fallacies: errors in reasoningHasty generalization: conclusion
based on inadequate informationRed Herring: diverting listen

argumentFalse cause: assuming cause when unrelated Unproven
assumption: treat opinion as provenFalse analogy: exaggerated

Should Professional Athletes Get Paid Less?
Intro:
Wouldn't it be great to make nearly $100 million a year simply
to play a game? Tiger Woods, along with many other
professional athletes thinks so. But do these athletes really
deserve all that money?
In my mind, absolutely not, Professional athletes are making too
much money in a society where salaries and wages are
6. traditionally based on the value of one's work. In today's
society, one should be paid according to the job’s economic
importance and their value to society. These games are
supposed to be played for fun, not for millions of dollars.
Body:
I. Teaching is one of the most economically important
occupations because our future economy relies on the education
of its youth, yet teachers are paid astronomically less than the
average professional athlete.
In fact, each basket Kobe Bryant scores earns him equivalent to
the average classroom teacher’s yearly salary. However, some
may argue that while teachers only provide service to a single
classroom, superstar athletes are entertaining fans all around the
world, enticing people with a feeling of relaxation.
II. Furthermore, police officers, firefighters, and doctors save
lives while risking their own for a fraction of what sports stars
make. People in the military leave their families at home to
defend and protect the country knowing they may never return.
It's truly a pity that none of these true heroes are given the same
recognition by society as athletes such as Michael Jordan are
given.
III. Making it into the pros isn't an easy thing to do. It takes a
lot of time and hours of hard work every day to earn a job in
professional sports. These athletes sometimes go through life
threatening injuries for the love of the game. Considering this,
one might think that these athletes do it for the love of the game
not for the money. According to Gerald Sim, "The odds are
higher for someone to become a brain surgeon than a NBA
player, so isn't it more logical that the professional athlete get
paid more than a brain surgeon?" According to Chris
Butterfield, it is the fan's fault these athletes make the money
they do. They are the ones who pay 50 dollars for a ticket, 100
dollars for a jacket and 20 dollars for a hat ("Professional
AthletesÉ"). If the public didn't help by buying these items, the
money to pay these athletes the huge amounts wouldn't be there.
7. In turn, their salaries would decrease.
Concluding statement:
These athletes are making too much money in a society that
traditionally bases salaries on the value of ones work. These
athletes do not know what real work is or how hard it is to make
a dollar. Although their job is difficult, they do not play a role
in our economy like their salaries indicate. Therefore, they
should receive less money.
