Research Paper Introduction
Ask anyone what their favorite form of entertainment is, and you will get many different answers. They can be ranging from watching sports, to going on vacations and spending time with their families, or it could just playing around or the computer. Entertainment is a way for most people to relax, have fun and/or blow off some steam after a long day. But some of the time the form of entertainment they seek is not available to them at that precise moment, so they have to seek it elsewhere, if it can’t be found in the real world or there are no means of getting to it, hey can go online and try to satisfy their craving for a certain form of entertainment. This poses a question, do aspects of virtual entertainment, such as in Second Life, compare to the same aspects in real world entertainment, and how do they differ?

Paper one introduction
Sports are played every where in the world and in every way possible. They are played on fields and courts, and in stadiums and arenas. Sports can also be played on gaming consoles and computers. Playing sports on video gaming consoles lets the everyday person who has never played a full contact sport before play with out the aspects of getting hurt or not being the best player on the team. Sports can also be played within virtual worlds just like they can be played in real life. The games are as real as you can get without being in them. Different sports such as hockey, football, and baseball can be played in many virtual environments such as Second Life, Video Games, and other Sim worlds.
