entertainment are reflections of a country’s
culture and society. To be able to understand
and analyze the development and new trends in
the arts and entertainment, it is important to be
familiar about the people’s social and cultural
conditions.
As new forms and delivery systems for entertainment
flourished, there is great importance to understand the
needs of the viewing public. It is important to cope with
the changing demands of the viewers in order to get

prove to be significant in this aspect because a strong
foundation in the study of the people’s viewing
behavior and patterns are emphasized in this field.
