Arts and Entertainment

Sue Li asked:


My question is how it effects humans psychologically..

Does watching circus acts, horse racing- animals being whipped, chained, locked in cages all day, using electric..

Does it make them inhumane? Insensitive? What other psychological harm does ill treatment of animals in entertainment have on humans?

I’m very interested in doing something that deals with television or entertainment. But definitely something behind the scenes. I just don’t know what kind of job I could do. Something like thinking of new types of shows or something to do with approving new shows. Can someone please help? I will give a best answer.
Thanks!

Art and entertainment are both things that are perceived. Good art and good entertainment both produce a satisfying experience for the beholder. What is the difference?
Everyone has raised some interesting points but I still haven’t found an answer which really explains it.

Some of you have characterized art requiring a creative process but so does entertainment. Also some have said art is expression but entertainment can also be expression. Just think of comedians who express their views in often hilarious ways which offer real social commentary just like art might.

Entertainment has been associated with enjoyment. If there is no enjoyment, there is no entertainment. However, not all forms of entertainment are enjoyed by everyone just like not all forms of art are enjoyed by everyone. Even entertainment within the same genre can be both liked and disliked by different people.

The most common theme I see in your answers is that art is for thinking and entertainment is for enjoyment. I don’t think this holds up because the same thought processes that make art stimulating also makes entertainment stimulating.

I’m trying to figure out how I can hook my computer with an actual home entertainment speaker so i can have surround sound on both my computer and my entertainment system.
I mean directly from 3.5mm wire right into the speaker. It’s fine if it requires some cutting of wires.

My computer is old and outdated. I need a new desktop for both entertainment, and business purposes. Must be reliable for the long run as it is used daily by 3 people including a kid heavy into gaming.
