Entertaiment | Articles

Entertainment means agreeable occupation for the mind or diversion or amusement: It could be watching a comedy show, reading a suspenseful novel or playing a complex strategy video game. It can also be something that allows us to experience a range of emotions in a safe environment, such as a music concert or theatre production, providing a cathartic and healing release.

Entertainment can be individual and personal, such as a choice of DVD from the vast array available, or it can be shared with family and friends, such as a dinner party or sporting event. It can evoke an emotional response, be it joy or fear, or it may appeal to the intellect with a documentary or puzzle. For some, the best entertainment is both, as with a team sport or multiplayer video game.
