Now I think that:

Now, we realised:

I used to think that entertainment is how people get amusement and enjoyment and how people find joy in life. I thought that entertainment is the action of providing happiness for others.

Now I think, entertainment can be a task or an idea, and that entertainment can evolve as time passes. I also think that entertainment can vary in many different forms such as a play, music, sports and many more. Furthermore, entertainment can be different for everyone due to different interests and hobbies. Entertainment for some may be work for others. Entertainment can also change according to how someone views it.

sabrina:

i used to think that entertainment was just forms of enjoyment and how people find something funny or interesting to catch their attention.

now i think that entertainment is a part of a culture and tradition in any country, place or time and that they slowly change over the times. i now think that entertainment is not just mainly have fun to pass time but can also affect one’s tradition, like dancing or performances. different people and traditions would have different forms of entertainment, entertainment is defined by how one views what is fun.

Ee-Lyn:

I used to think that entertainment was enjoying something and there was only one type

Now i think that entertainment is a means of achieving insight or intellectual growth and there are many different types of entertainment.

Yi Hui:

I used to think that entertainment is about the way of pleasing or bringing joy to the audience. It is used to capture the attention of others for them to enjoy themselves. It can come in many ways, such as visually through images or reality shows and through hearing like music.

Now I think that entertainment can come in any many different types and forms. There are types such as child, adult, corporate entertainment for example. The most interesting form of entertainment that caught my attention was that banquets have banquets have been commonly used by nobles as a form of entertainment since the ancient times. These banquets are now replaced with more specific celebrations like weddings, religious obligations, birthdays, and political achievements. There are still performers for these events, but it has branched out to other forms as well like cooking. It was interesting to me as it never occured to me that a wedding could serve as a form entertainment.

I used to think that entertainment was purely having fun and i kind of felt like it was something negative because it is what we turn to when we are feeling lazy and want to slack.

Now i know that entertainment can come in many forms and can serve many purposes other than letting others have fun. I think that what struck me is that entertainment can help bring messages across to people through performance which is an effective way of letting people think about the idea. Entertainment can also be people’s occupation and allows those who have a passion for performance to persue their dreams. Entertainment can also reflect or represent cultures or traditions. I think that entertainment plays an important role in our lives.

How can entertainment be useful in meeting some of these needs?

The people in our community need safer playgrounds. In the article, as the playgrounds evolve, they think less about the safety and more about the fun. The community builds bigger playgrounds for the children because they think that the children will enjoy it more. However, the bigger playgrounds contain more hazards and dangerous facilities that may cause injuries and accidents. Furthermore, most of the children playing there are young and do not know how to take care of themselves. To prevent accidents, the community needs to build safer playgrounds. As the children find entertainment in playing at the playground, it is more important to ensure that it is safe so that the children can play in a safe environment. I think that the people in the community need more opportunity to have fun with their friends and on their own. I think that while they are learning, they should also have as much fun they can and enjoy their childhood. Many of us had many toys when we were young, like remote control cars or giant teddy bears, but many children might not be able to afford these toys. They might only have one toy they can hold on to and it might be a small and old stuffed toy.

The Special Olympics is for children with special needs. People think that special olympics is just a sport, but it is actually special. This is because the children with special needs are able to overcome their weaknesses, and find joy and entertainment in playing sports, some even being so good at them, that they were invited to join the special olympics. A mother always assumed that the olympics were for other people’s children and not hers, until her daughter joined the special olympics, did she realise how it felt like when she was really a part of it. The special olympics can also be a chance for the special needs children to display their sports talents and help them train physically. the special olympics is truly special.

Disabled children should be given the chance to follow their dreams like others. Finding their strength can give them confidence and encourage them to work hard and not give up. Sports can empower them and teach them values while they overcome challenges along with their teammates. We need to have more sports centres to accept and welcome people with of all abilities.

-the people in our community needs more educational tv shows. in the video i watched, there were the top 10 recommended educational tv shows for kids to watch. through those tv shows, kids would be able to learn alphabets and numbers while enjoying the show, in this way the children would be able to learn and have fun at the same time, this might then even help them to learn more efficiently than that compared in school. they can watch those shows anytime they want online at home without feeling pressure from teachers or classmates while still being able to learn important life skills and new discoveries at their own pace and time. in the article that i read, Jonny Pierce, felt that competitive swimming has turned out to be a helpful coping mechanism for his autism and hypersensitive hearing. in los angeles, they have interesting and inclusive aquatic centres to teach children of all needs to swim, entertainment is used here to allow kids to learn swimming and develop their talents.

I read 30 Children around the world with their favourite toys--Photographs only and L.A. vaulting program helps kids of all abilities thrive on horseback. The first article left me thinking that some if the needs of the children around the world is a wide exposure to other cultures and to have fun with more than 1 toy. 1 picture that left a deep impression on me was the child from Ukraine. All his toys were guns, and they look like real guns. He even have access to a shooting range from the look of a membership card. This is obviously shows that he was raised in a culture that focussed on guns. On another hand, a child from Kenya only have a dirty, dusty monkey. The pictures where impactful as they showed the contrast between children living in different parts of the world. Some Chi,Daren have overflowing toys, while others only have 1 or 2 they scraped together.

The other article is about a vaulting program that is open to both children with or without disabilities. Vaulting refers to the gymnastic maneuvers done on top of a moving horse. This program has empowers students of all ages and abilities; in fact, they contend that vaulters without disabilities learn valuable life lessons practicing alongside their teammates with physical and developmental challenges.
