Entertainment the Detractor
In his 1998 book How Entertainment Conquered Reality, Neal Grabler challenged that entertainment is a detractor to society saying it is, “fun, effortless, sensational, mindless, formulaic, predictable, and subversive. ... ” He also says that “nineteenth century aristocrats hated entertainment saying it’s ‘to overturn all morality, to poison the springs of domestic happiness, to dissolve the ties of our social order, and to involve our country in ruin.’”
Grabler believes that entertainment is taking away from people lives instead of adding to it because in the statement above it clearly states that he is against it. Entertainment can easily make people seem mindless since some chose to do stupid acts seen on television and imitate.
