What is Entertaiment?

Entertaiment is any activity intended to amuse or divert, and can be as simple as a book read by an individual on their own, to dinner parties accompanied by music and dance, to sports that began as professional activities for hunters or soldiers, now played by millions of people in spectator events. Entertainment demonstrates a great capacity for cross-over and adaptation, as illustrated by the famous story of Scheherazade in the Persian professional storytelling tradition, which has inspired orchestral works, a film and an innovative video game.
