What Is Entertaiment?
Entertaiment is any activity or event that provides enjoyment and distraction from everyday life. It can take many forms such as amusement, relaxation, diversion, or pleasure, and is usually socially sanctioned. Merriam-Webster describes entertainment as something that “provides amusement, diversion, or relaxation.” We must remember that what is entertaining to one person may not be to another. What is entertaining to a child might be considered a form of torture to an adult.
