About Entertainment

Entertaiment is strongly associated with leisure, but in some instances what appears as entertainment may also serve an extreme purpose, be it a style of rite, party, non secular pageant or satire. This is particularly true within the realm of popular culture, where what may appear as merely a form of entertainment to one group or individual, may be perceived as a means of attaining perception and highbrow growth by another.
