What is Entertaiment?

Entertaiment is a complex and voluminous subject matter. This article attempts to merely scratch the surface. In its most general sense, Entertainment is any activity that occupies a person’s time in a leisurely way and brings pleasure or enjoyment. People may create their own entertainment or passively consume it in the form of a film, a concert, or a game. Whatever it is, entertainment arouses curiosity and stimulates learning. It can also have negative impacts if not regulated. [1] See T E News Fall 2011 for a fuller discussion on the topic of Entertaiment. The word “entertainment” comes from the Medieval Latin intertenere, meaning “to hold inside,” which itself translates from the Indo-European root ten, or tenere, to stretch or keep up.
