Entertainment in the 21st century
Has entertainment lost its novelty factor? Besides going to clubs or live music venues or outdoor music festivals, do 20 somethings still make time for theatre, comedy shows or even the circus and how many people actually go the movies anymore? The Collins Dictionary describes entertainment as “the act or art of entertaining or a state of being entertained” or “an act, production, etc, that entertains; diversion; amusement”.
What are reasons behind us wanting to be entertained? Do we need a form of escapism? Do we want to be inspired? Do we want to be social? It is easy to fall into a rut with regards to the type of entertainment that we choose to witness. When last did you see a play or watch a ballet or go to a comedy club? Is it that these don’t appeal to us or is it just not on our radar? New theatre productions happen all the time so there must be a need for them, but who goes to watch them?
I know that I am always so inspired when I experience something I have never experienced before – there is a thrill in seeing or hearing something that your mind and soul hasn’t come into contact with – it opens up new possibilities and passions and then I find myself saying “I must do that more often”, but do I follow through on that? The answer is “no”.
Maybe the next time you feel uninspired or hopeless or even bored, don’t go the local watering hole or watch a series, go online and see what amazing shows are out there and just do it (and even do it alone if you have to) – I am pretty sure you will not be disappointed.

Hi there,
The first suggestion is to make sure your writing is of a very high standard – no grammatical or spelling errors (even when emailing or leaving comments) – your writing will obviously reflect your skill. Secondly, be creative and original – use fresh language and creative imagery – inspire others through your writing, no matter what the topic is 🙂
