What is Entertaiment?

Entertaiment is any activity that holds the attention and interest of an audience or gives pleasure or delight. It ranges from the familiar activities of eating or listening to music, to performances for thousands or even a global audience. Often, entertainment is passed from generation to generation through play, such as the story of Scheherazade, which inspired Rimsky-Korsakov and other composers, Pasolini’s film and innovative video games. This shows the strong connections between different types of entertainment.
