User blog:Vulture345/When people take things too seriously: The effects of entertainment on the mind.

So this is a very different blog, but I have been thinking about this recently. Entertainment and Media, in my opinion, are very important, they can effect people in some ways no other things can. They can effect the human brain/mind.

The way you let it affect your mind is totally up to you. It can have a positive effect and a negative effect. It depends on the human mindset, as no human mind is the same.

Positive side effects can be, for example: if you read a Spider-Man, Thor, Superman, Batman, or any other kind of comic book, you can be inspired to be like your heroes. Of course you can’t fly or shoot webs or lift a magical hammer, but you can do good for folk like in the comic books you read.

Another example could be The Loud House, as it always has a positive message at the end (Not NSl lol) but you can take every aspect of the lesson and use it to think about the world and the world inside what you read, watch, or experience in a game, comic, novel, or movie.

There are negative side effects when people take the negative things and harness the message for bad. Or just become blinded to what is fiction/fact.

It’s not bad to take entertainment seriously as long as you absorb the message and don’t twist it the wrong way, entertainment can teach you great things and lessons, just absorb them and take what you will.
