Bohai University Journalist and Communication Studios’ dean and professor Zhao Yawen pointed out in her article “The Mass Communication’s Pan-Entertainment’s damage can split to three different aspects: ONe is “decrease audiences’ aesthetic level”, two is “Decrease audiences’ social responsibilities”, three is “weaken medias’ social duties and responsibilities”.” As negative impacts, Pan-Entertainment doesn’t just impact on audiences’ aesthetic levels, it even harms audiences’ judge ability. If audiences lose the ability to judge good or bad, then a vicious circle makes the situation infinitely worse. If mass communications process those serious events as entertainments, then audiences’ social responsibilities will be alienation to an erratic perspective. Finally, it will start to decrease audiences’ enthusiasm for society. Pan-Entertainment is happening just around us like Tik Tok, Instagram or youtube, a lot of short videos formed by people around the world and now people start to sink into those entertainments. That is why Pan-Entertainment is the virus. Pan-Entertainment can transfer different cultures or aspects to just pure entertainment that people just need to enjoy those entertainments, even their contents are meaningless. Special for teenagers, because they do not have a full grow heart and mind, so they can easily be changed by Pan-Entertainment. More and more people just want to look at other people’s videos or their life rather than other meaningful things.
