Types of Entertaiment
Having an activity that entertains an audience is a good thing. It is fun to see different kinds of entertainment at a zoo, in a theater or other places.
Zoos
Using animals for entertainment is a global industry. Animals are used for a variety of entertainment purposes including circuses, aquariums, roadside zoos, lion walks, bullfights, and cockfights. Animals are also used in films, television shows, and productions.
The history of using animals for entertainment dates back to ancient civilizations. During the time of the Assyrian and Babylonian empires, rulers collected wild animals. Ancient collections included bears, elephants, and giraffes.
The use of animals for entertainment is controversial. In fact, animal welfare advocates encourage caution when using nonhuman animals for entertainment.
Animals used for entertainment are often subjected to physical, emotional, and psychological wounds. They are forced to perform unnatural behaviors that are not instinctual. Animals are also deprived of their natural habitat and forced to adapt to abnormal surroundings.
Other forms of entertainment
Throughout history, many different forms of entertainment have been created. These include stories, songs, dance, drama, and performances. Each of these forms has a specific function. Storytelling, for instance, is one of the oldest forms of entertainment. Stories are a way to engage a group of people on a journey. It is also a way to reflect on human conflicts. This has also influenced other forms of entertainment.
Another popular form of entertainment is immersion. People travel to remote locations to experience an atmosphere they would not otherwise have the opportunity to experience. Immersion can also be achieved through video games. For example, Shenmue is an excellent example of an immersive third person viewpoint game.
