Comedy Promotes Values:
According to Henri Bergson, comedy promotes social and moral values because we laugh at antisocial and anti-moral behaviors. One scenario of this can be racism. If someone came upon a Muslim man with his turban, someone would immediately make 911 jokes or racist jokes towards the woman's ethnicity or her country. People would find it funny because they would use a Muslim accent to make these jokes and that is very racist. This is an antisocial and anti-moral behavior and it shows that not doing this and not being racist promotes social and moral values.
