About Entertaiment

A broad category of activities, entertainment is usually intended for amusement or pleasure, although it may have a more serious purpose in ceremonies, religious festivals, or satire. It is a broad field, encompassing the many familiar forms of art, music, dance, sports, and film. It can be personal, such as choosing a film for two from the vast array of pre-recorded products; or large and organized, such as a concert or a performance for thousands.
