Entertainment has become a big business in the United States as it provides an escape for people from poverty and meaningless existences, serving as a substitute gratification. Both the widespread nature and types of entertainment in the country reflect the influences society is subjected to and the limited social policies and activities pursued. This situation mirrors the colonial mindset among the people that results from and also causes regressive policies in culture and social education, making entertainment a principal form of activity in the parasitic society where escape is the main preoccupation for those without real purpose beyond self-gratification.
