What is Entertaiment?

Articles

Entertaiment is the word for activities that afford pleasure, diversion or amusement. It can involve an audience who watches passively, as with a play, opera, TV show or movie, or it can be active, as in sports and games.

Entertainment is a key component in social interaction, as well as in personal development and education. It can help children learn to read and write through stories and plays; prepare for responsibilities, such as child rearing and group activities (through dolls, pets and playing group games); or develop skills required for certain hobbies and careers (such as the motor skills needed for sports and music). It is one of many areas where individuals, foundations and businesses address our societal needs.
