Learn More About Entertaiment

Entertainment is a broad category of activities, practices, or events that afford pleasure or diversion. It may be something as low-brow as watching a wrestling match or as high culture as attending a performance by Shakespeare. It can take the form of a play, a musical, a dance, or even an exhibition of animals or food. It may serve a serious purpose, as in a ceremony, religious festival, or act of satire. Entertainment also evolves as it is adapted to different mediums or audiences. For example, sports such as hunting or archery have become spectator sports, and cooking has been transformed into a television show and global competition.
