About this Article
Entertaiment encompasses a broad spectrum of entertainment activities, from a simple choice of private entertainment from an enormously varied and ever-expanding array of pre-recorded products to events adapted for two people; to banquets for thousands of people, with music and dance; and performances that are often intended as satire or other forms of social commentary. It is increasingly apparent that the idea of entertainment has a universal meaning, although one common understanding is the association with amusement.
