What Is Entertaiment?
Entertaiment is a large category of activities that are intended to amuse, delight, or otherwise entertain. Its scope ranges from the private entertainment offered to two people at a banquet, to the elaborate and costly spectacles of court and pageantry; from the simple, low-brow amusements that Shakespeare provided in his day, to the complex and widely distributed forms of modern popular culture. It is often considered to involve the production and consumption of artificially-created artifacts, but the concept is also applied to natural events such as ritual or festival, satire, or political activism.
