Entertaiment is a word with many meanings and has the ability to transcend boundaries. It can mean anything from a private entertainment choice for an individual, to an activity that has developed into spectator sports, to a story in the professional storytelling tradition like Scheherazade that may inspire retellings in different media such as music, film and video games. In addition, entertainments often hit on themes that the human mind was evolved to deeply react to – backstabbing, murder, and other social dynamics that were once crucial to survival.
