What Is Entertaiment?
Entertaiment is not a one-size-fits-all concept; it can range from childish cartoons and playgrounds to a jazz concert, a Shakespeare play, or an advanced video game. It can stimulate emotions like joy and suspense or provide catharsis through a shared experience, or challenge the intellect with puzzles and strategic thinking. Entertainment can even vary according to mood: an upbeat comedy show can lift spirits, while a thoughtful documentary or a strategy-based video game might be more appropriate when in a contemplative state.
