Entertaiment is a broad concept that offers pleasure and diversion in many forms. It has evolved into an industrialized industry influencing publishing, music, film, and other sectors as it reaches across media boundaries. However, entertainment is a highly subjective concept. What is entertaining for one person may be distressing for another. What appears as entertainment for a whole generation may seem boring to the next.
