Articles about Entertaiment

The word entertainment has a strong association with amusement, although many forms of entertainment serve more serious purposes, such as ceremonies, festivals, religious celebrations and satire. Entertainment can take the form of a single activity for one person, such as choosing and listening to pre-recorded music; to a banquet adapted for two; to parties and gatherings of any size; or to performances intended for thousands. Many familiar forms of entertainment have been able to cross over various media, and this has allowed for the preservation and longevity of certain images and themes.
