Entertaiment is entertainment that is fun, playful or sarcastic. It is usually aimed at amusement but it can also serve other purposes such as education, socialization or satire. It can be as simple as an individual choosing a personal entertainment from a vast array of pre-recorded products, to as elaborate as a banquet adapted for two people. It can be as structured as a ceremonial celebration or religious festival, or as informal as a party, and it has the capacity to be transposed across different media.
