Entertaiment

Entertaiment

Something that affords pleasure, diversion, or amusement. Entertainment can range from the simplest – such as solving a crossword puzzle – to complex and elaborate presentations for a large audience. It can even involve activities such as hunting or war, which have been developed into spectator sports and are now performed by professionals and broadcast for entertainment. Stories can also serve as entertainment, such as Scheherazade, the famous tale in the Persian professional storytelling tradition about a woman who saves her life by telling her story to her husband. Entertainment has the capacity to cross over into other media, such as music, film, and games.
