The Power of Entertaiment
Entertaiment is a wide field of activity that includes entertainment for children, music, games, theater and other cultural activities. It is also a major source of income for some people. For others, it is a way to escape from reality or to improve their mental and physical well-being. The power of entertainment is demonstrated by the ability of familiar stories to cross media – for example, the Scheherazade story from Persian professional storytelling tradition has been retold as an orchestral work by Rimsky-Korsakov and Ravel; a film adaptation by Pasolini and an innovative video game. The examples above are drawn from a wider programmatic collection of online examples.
