Entertaiment is a broad concept that encompasses various forms of amusement and pleasure. The term has evolved to include a number of diverse activities and industries, including those associated with film, television, music, games, and publishing. While entertainment has become a highly developed industry that generates significant income for many, it also continues to play an important role as a storehouse of cultural values and a source of enjoyment for the public. What may be considered entertaining for one person or group of people can be viewed as work or an act of cruelty for another.
