2. So, Why does it seem that humor in America has fallen by the wayside?
Some people think humor in America has changed a lot because society itself has changed. There are a few reasons why it might seem like humor has fallen to the wayside:
·
People are more careful now: With the internet
and social media, what you say can be seen by lots of people very quickly.
People are more aware of how their words can hurt others or be misunderstood.
This makes some folks careful about what jokes they tell or laugh at,
especially if the humor could upset someone.
·
Different ideas about what's funny: America is
full of people from all kinds of backgrounds, and everyone has their own idea
of what's funny. What makes one person laugh might not be funny to someone
else. Because of this, humor that tries to include everyone might seem less
bold or edgy.
·
Serious times: When there are a lot of serious
things happening in the world, like political issues or health crises, it can
make humor seem less important. People might focus more on the big, serious
stuff and less on finding things to laugh about.
·
Changing entertainment: The way we find humor
has changed. Instead of just TV shows, movies, and stand-up comedy, now there
are memes, short videos, and social media posts. Some people think these new
kinds of humor aren't as deep or meaningful as older forms.
