Entertainment is a form of activity that diverts or enlivens. The word is often associated with amusement, but it may have a more serious purpose, as in ceremonies, religious festivals, or satire. Entertainment can take many forms, from a simple individual choice from a now enormous selection of pre-recorded entertainment products; to banquets and parties of any size; to performances for thousands. Entertainment is a global industry that provides the lubricant that keeps the wheels of our societies turning smoothly.
