Entertainment is an experience most sought after and enjoyed by all of us. However the question is; what's its psychological cause? Why do human society, across all cultures and periods enjoy and look for entertainment? Why is entertainment so important? Why people from all spheres of life wish to be entertained and find the ability so satisfying.

First of all, let's define entertainment. Entertainment could be defined as any activity, allowing visitors to entertain themselves in their spare time elisa ritter. Entertainment generally is passive, such as watching movie, T.V shows, live theatre, etc., etc. Active kinds of entertainment such as sports are far more often regarded as being recreation. Actions such as book reading or playing musical instruments are regarded as hobbies. Various kinds of entertainment are theatre, cinema, dance shows, social dance, parties, sports and games. Entertainment such as puppet shows, clowns, mimes and cartoons are apt to be attractive to children.

Human nature is an escapist nature. We need an escape from real life. We must feed our fantasies. Entertainment takes us to an altered world of our liking and fulfils our want for fantasy and an escape from true to life tedium. Entertainment transfers us to a full world of fantasy, and we remain immersed within this alternate realism. This is particularly so for media entertainment such as music, theatre and films.

Entertainment conditions our values, behaviour and thinking. This is particularly so in case of media entertainment such as T.V and movies, which provide potent touching experiences. Our emotions powerfully influence our actions in techniques remain outside of our control and cognizance. Hence, it's very possible to be influenced by entertainment unconsciously. Humans are rational beings but emotions compel us to complete issues that are unreasonable. Enjoyment of entertainment switches us from the first phases of interest to emotional connection and finally to addiction stage.

Entertainment triggers complicated psychological processes in the human brain. For instance, a person may be in love with a girl, whom he cannot achieve in true to life, so he may fall in love with an actress in a movie who may resemble his dream girl.

Let us take an additional example. Nowadays, there's an increasing alarm over the consequences of violence on T.V. So, what're the negative effects? Does this violence on TV result in a growth in violence in real life? Studies show that it's true. There's lots of evidence that the violence shown on TV increases the violent tendencies in children. These shows won't suddenly transform a peaceful child in to a violent child, but it can make the violence-prone children more disposed to play out their natural tendencies.

By and large, entertainment elevates values we might not consciously approve, but which are, nevertheless, extremely important to us and call for mental stimulation. This doesn't signify entertainment is bad for human beings. We could surely benefit from a strong and clear comprehension of how entertainment in true to life, affects our experience and emotions.
