Articles About Entertaiment
The meaning of entertainment has evolved from its original sense as simply ‘to keep busy’ to encompass a broad range of activities. The term can be applied at any level of organization — from a single individual selecting a private entertainment from the huge variety now available through pre-recorded media; to a banquet adapted for two; to performances intended for thousands or more; and beyond. While most forms of entertainment are enjoyable, some have serious purpose, such as ceremony, religious festival or satire. Click on a collocation to see more examples.
