Articles about Entertaiment
Entertainment is understood objectively, involves communication between a text and audience from an external stimulus, offers pleasure, and requires consumer activity in a passive form. It may occur on an individual level, as in the private enjoyment of a game or a film, or on a larger scale, from a dinner party for two to a stadium rock concert or a theatrical production.
From Old French entretenement, to entertain, to occupy, divert, amuse, or distract. From there, we talk about theatrical entertainment as shows, visual entertainment as pictures, and audio entertainment as music. And then there’s all that stuff you do to amuse yourself like solving the daily crossword or squabbling with friends over the last potato chip.
