Articles About Entertaiment

Entertainment is any activity that evokes amusement, diversion, relaxation or pleasure in the mind of its audience. It can also be seen as a way to distract or divert people from their problems and allow them to escape their daily or mundane realities, even if only temporarily. It can take the form of a movie, concert, social gathering, sports event, or other similar activities. The word comes from the Medieval Latin intertenere and Indo-European root ten.

According to Oliver and Barstsch (2010), entertainment can be defi ned as an objectively understood activity that encompasses communication between text and audience from external stimulus, offers pleasure to its audience and occurs in a passive form. Entertainment can be adapted to fit any scale, from an individual watching a movie on his or her own; to a party adapted for two; or a performance created for thousands.
