Article about Entertaiment
Entertaining has become one of the main purposes of human life, and can be enjoyed on almost any scale: from the private entertainment of a single person who chooses from a huge selection of pre-recorded products; to banquets and parties adapted for two, for any number of people; to public performances intended for thousands; to cultural and sporting events that may reach global audiences. Most entertainment is amusing, but some has a serious purpose, such as ceremonies, festivals, or satire.
