Entertaiment
The word entertainment is a broad and varied term that encompasses many different forms of enjoyment and distraction. It is also a dynamic concept, with forms that have evolved over time from their original uses in hunting, war or other activities. For example, the story of Scheherazade, a professional storytelling tradition in the Persian world, has inspired many different kinds of entertainment: Rimsky-Korsakov, Ravel and other composers wrote musical works; Pasolini made a film adaptation; and innovative video games are based on the tale. Some entertainment is interactive and participatory, whereas others involve spectators watching performances from a comfortable seat.
