Article on Entertaiment
Entertainment is a broad term used to describe activities that give pleasure, but not necessarily to everyone, and are carried out in one’s leisure time. According to Bates, the definition of entertainment “involves communication featuring external stimuli; it provides enjoyment (though not necessarily to all) to a passive audience; and, it is usually done for fun.” Entertainment can be found in many forms such as movies, television, music, books, sports, games, art, and live performances. These forms have the ability to cross over media and have demonstrated a high degree of longevity, with some elements being timeless.
