Entertaiment means fun activities that refresh the mind and preserve mental health and emotional well-being. These activities provide a break from mundane responsibilities and help the person to be more relaxed and productive.
Entertainment evolves and can be adapted to any scale, from an individual choosing private entertainment from a now enormous array of pre-recorded products, to parties involving food and music for two or thousands, to performances that reach a global audience. Entertainment also has the ability to inspire retellings in other media, for example the story of Scheherazade from the Persian professional storytelling tradition inspired Rimsky-Korsakov and Ravel to compose orchestral works, Pasolini to make a film and many video games.
