About This Topic

Entertainment as an academic subject spans media studies, cultural studies, economics, and communication courses. It invites students to examine how societies produce, consume, and assign value to leisure and spectacle. What makes it intellectually compelling is the tension between entertainment as a commercial industry and as a cultural force — one that shapes language, identity, and shared reality. The topic demands that students think critically about power, asking who controls the forms of entertainment available to audiences and what ideological work those forms perform.

The papers archived here reflect a genuinely wide range of approaches. Some take an industry or market analysis angle, examining companies and economic structures such as the cruise line industry or executive compensation for athletes and celebrities. Others pursue cultural and social analysis, investigating how television affects everyday speech, how a reality show like the Kardashians program relates to a real ethnic community, or how pub and nightclub hours produce social effects. Media technology and measurement also appear as frameworks, with papers addressing audience rating systems and the debate over whether entertainment belongs inside news broadcasting.

A strong essay on entertainment needs a focused thesis that commits to one dimension — economic, cultural, linguistic, or political — rather than treating the subject as a vague backdrop. Evidence carries the most weight when it is specific: industry data, close textual analysis, or documented social outcomes drawn from credible sources. The most common pitfall is conflating description with argument, summarizing what entertainment is rather than making a defensible claim about how or why it functions the way it does in a particular context.

Media worlds and their cultural significance

Neil Postman, in his book "Amusing Ourselves to Death" discusses how television has altered the medium by which information is transmitted, and the new nature of the medium forces the information being transmitted to be incomplete, un-sequential, lacking the ability to promote intellectual growth, and un-reasoned. Postman's book was originally published in 1985, a time when television was the main medium of information transmittance, however, several decades later the world is once again faced with a new technology that has fundamentally changed the way information is transmitted: the Internet. Much like Postman asserted that television has reduced the intellectual effectiveness of the nature of the information transmitted through television, the Internet, smart phones, pads and pods, and all the other new information technology tools have turned information into even more of a segmented, isolated, non-integrated, bits of trivia that have no relevance to the world in general.
