Humor is one of the most cherished attributes in human. Does humor mean more than just cracking a joke? Or is it something more than that. Even if it is something more than cracking a joke, can it ever be an entertainment? Humor and entertainment are not too closely related terms. Well, the answer to all is “YES”. How is that possible? Read on.

Humor refers to the attribute where one has the funny sense to make people smile or sometimes make them burst out laughing. On the other hand entertainment is about making people enjoy some time forgetting their regular work activities and regular pressures. Entertainment is one industry that does not see a slump in the business even in times of recession as entertainment is something that most people crave to enjoy if not regularly at least occasionally.

How did humor take form as an entertainment? It is due to the rise of a special kind of gifted people called stand up comedians. They are also called as stand up comic or just stand up. There are several stand up comics who have even taken up this form of entertainment as a career option. These people perform predominantly in the restaurants, pubs and sometimes in large concerts. They keep the people hooked to them by their humor and gestures. This is what I called an entertainment with humor.

It is hard to find any real advantages about having music in schools except to make students happy. However, a research had found that, classical music has been shown to improve mental processes. Whereas heavy metal music has been shown to degrade mental processes in an experiment conducted on mice. In that experiment two sets of mice were exposed to music, and then they were tested in mazes. One group was exposed to heavy metal, one group to classical. The group that was exposed to classical music did better, and the group exposed to heavy metal was being the worst performance.

In accordance to the study we could arrive at the conclusion that classical music can help students to remember better. Though classical music has these advantages, it has some disadvantages as well. Whatever the case it may be, it can't stop anyone from getting distracted, be it interesting or irritating. If you like the music, it distracts you from doing your work. Likewise if you don't like the music, you get distracted as well because you don't want to hear it.

From the study about the mice, the comparison of the distraction rate between the classical music and the heavy metal, I would say that distraction is more for the latter. Therefore for those who want to listen to music without getting distracted from the job they do, I would recommend them to listen to classical music.

Watching a movie over the weekend is one of the best ways to take a break from the weekly routine! Especially after a tiring week at work, a fun filled movie is really comforting to the mind and body. The advantage of going for a movie is that you can afford to leave your brain behind at home, and yet enjoy the movie! It is a well-deserved break that we get from the ‘real life', as we get transformed into an imaginary world for a couple of hours. Some movies indeed inspire us too, to face the battles that lie ahead of us in the following week with renewed energy.

Movies act as the perfect stress busters because we tend to forget all our worries and we keep all our burdens aside for those 2 hours! For most, a comedy movie would be the ideal breakaway choice whereas some would prefer a slow romantic movie. OF course, the more youthful kind would go for action movies, to chill out and experience some high adrenaline stuff! That's the other point about movies, there are so many different movies, of different genres that one can pick his/her most preferred type of movie and go for it.

There is no compulsion that people are forced to watch something they would not prefer to. The viewers are spoilt for choice when it comes to movies! To summarize, thanks to movies, millions of Americans look forward to their weekend with genuine interest and anticipation. Movies serve as the right energizing tonic, to revitalize them before the next week starts.
