What is Entertaiment?

Entertaiment means an activity or event that provides amusement, recreation or diversion. It can be as simple as watching television or movies, as involved as playing a game, attending a concert or engaging in social activities. Entertainment can be social, cultural or political and may serve a serious purpose such as ceremony, celebration or satire. For example, the Scheherazade story from professional storytelling tradition has inspired a number of musical works including compositions by Rimsky-Korsakov, Ravel and Szymanowski and is now a popular video game.
