Articles about Entertaiment

From the Medieval Latin intertenere, meaning “to hold inside,” entertainment has a seemingly endless capacity to be reshaped and recycled. The familiar forms of this activity can often be found in a wide range of different media, illustrating the enduring popularity of many themes and images.

Entertaiment can provide a sense of relief from the daily grind of work and routine, by temporarily transporting individuals away from their mundane realities and offering them enjoyable experiences. It can also be a way of bringing people together and creating shared experiences that can help build stronger families. Bates and Ferri (2010) define entertainment as an objectively understood activity that includes communication between text and audience from external stimulus, offers pleasure, requires an audience, and is in a passive form.
