About this article
Entertaiment is an activity that diverts, amuses, or delights; it satiates an emotional need. It can be personalized for one person, such as by choosing from a wide range of pre-recorded entertainment available on digital platforms; for two people, such as a dinner with music and dance; for thousands, such as a performance; or even for the global population, such as through a branded event. It has become so strongly associated with amusement that one common understanding of the idea is laughter, although many entertainments have a serious purpose – such as ceremonial rite, celebration, party, non secular pageant, or satire.
