Entertainment
I think that entertainment is actually a distraction that can be good or bad. Stress is something that everyone experiences every day or even every night. A lot of times, people are not really sure how to cope with it- so they turn to entertainment as a distraction. For me, when I'm feeling stressed out or anxious, I find distraction in entertainment by blasting country music or going to the gym or maybe watching a movie. However, entertainment can also pose as a bad distraction. Video games can cause distractions from completing homework assignments or studying for an exam. Television shows or magazines can cause distractions for a babysitter, for example, and keep us from doing everyday necessary activities like sleeping.
I agree with your opinions on entertainment being an outlet for stress. When I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders I turn to music and sing my stress away. You also make a good point explaining how forms of entertainment can be distracting when it comes to school work. I know I am definitely guilty of doing such. I'll be sitting down trying to write a paper that is due the next day and find myself on facebook or becoming intrigued by the reality shows on TV.
