About this article
Entertaiment has morphed to mean many things and can take on any form, from a personal entertainment choice; a romantic dinner; a ceremony, celebration, or religious festival; a party with an adapted musical program; or a performance intended for thousands. While entertainment is often associated with amusement, it can also have a more serious intent, as is the case of satire or other forms of social criticism. It can also serve as a sustained focus for attention.
