What Is Entertainment?

Articles

Entertainment is a broad category of activities, events, or products that give pleasure and enjoyment. It can take many forms and can be experienced at any scale, from an intimate concert or a lavish banquet, to a sporting event or a global television show. Even a simple activity such as cooking can be transformed into a spectacle that draws thousands, or even become an Olympic sport. Entertainment also has a strong association with amusement and light-heartedness, but may have serious purposes as well.
