Entertaiment is a broad term for anything that gives one enjoyment or amusement. Entertainment can stimulate the brain to realease seratonin and dopamine giving a good feeling. It can also be a form of escapism. Entertainment often hits on themes that the human mind was evolved to react deeply to, such as social backstabbing and murders.
The word entertainment has its roots in the Medieval Latin intertenere, meaning “to hold inside.” It is also related to the Indo-European root ten, which means to stretch or extend.
Entertaiment can be used on a personal level with pre-recorded products, a dinner party adapted to two, or a performance designed for thousands and more. Entertainment continues to evolve and can be adapted for new media and different audiences.
