The thing that changed human history Part 2

So how is entertainment relevant to religion?

Let me explain with a little example. We all are aware of Jesus Christ, as catholics we call him

the son of God. According to the Holy Bible, Jesus used Parables for his teachings.Parables are

seemingly simple and memorable stories. And what are stories? An account of imaginary or real

people and events told for entertainment. Ladies and Gentlemen. There we are. Stories. Jesus

Christ himself used entertainment to enumerate religion. This could depict that entertainment is

the most simple and the most influential human need that can persuade humankind. By

understanding the power that entertainment holds, Jesus Christ conveyed his teachings to

humankind. Not just in the Catholic religion, other religions like Buddhism and the Islamic

religion also uses forms of entertainment like music and art in teaching and educating.

 

Another societal substantiality that can be implied since the beginning of time, that has the

capacity of changing humankind is war. More specifically, World War II, where the manipulation

of entertainment was an essential in the process of control over humanity. The Nazis controlled

all forms of entertainment by burning and destroying  immense amounts of forms of

entertainment like books, that did not comply to the Nazis ideal. The same approach was used

in films. And instead they formulated books, films and songs that encouraged the Nazi

propaganda. Films like ’Triumph of Will’, ‘Hitlerjunge Quex’ and,’The Eternal Jew’ were

considered as the greatest propaganda films made in that time. Nazis were aware that they

could lead a horse to water but never force it to drink it, like so the use of entertainment to

distribute their propaganda among the majority of the civilization is a commonly used approach

even today. Entertainment, inevitably, can be considered the tool of manipulation. We can’t live


without it and now, knowing this information we can’t live with it.

Unsolved mystery at Dyatlov Pass

On the first night of February 1959, 9 ski hikers mysteriously died in the mountains of Russia. As the group never returned, the group set up a camp on the slope, enjoyed dinner, and sleep was preparing for something but went devastatingly wrong. On February 26, the search team found a hiker's abandonment tent which was torn from inside. Footprints left by the group surrounding the area, some wearing socks, some followed by the edge of the nearby wood, some were wearing a single shoe, some barefoot. When the first two bodies were found, there were no shoes, only the underwear was wearing. As the scene produces a mark of death in hypothermia, but the medical examiner evidence makes no sense at all. Somebody had evidence of dull power trauma consistent with brutal raids. Others suffered three burns. One was vomiting and tongue was missing, and it turned out that a part of the clothing was a radioactive. The emerging theory includes the Russian version...

Human beings have experienced a rapid change in their lifestyle after the ‘industrial revolution’. The industrial revolution paved changes to cultures, customs and traditions in societies all over existence.
