Entertaiment is a broad category of activities that provide pleasure and joy. It may also be used to stimulate learning and growth in the mind and body. It can have positive or negative effects if not properly regulated.
Entertaiment has many meanings and origins, some are humorous while others are serious. The word originated from the Medieval Latin intertenere, which means “to hold inside.” This can be traced back to the Indo-European root ten, meaning to stretch.
Entertaiment can be anything from movies, video games and other media to social backstabbing, murders and other dark topics that society was evolved to deeply react to and understand the world around us. It is a powerful force that can bring joy and also have a negative impact if not regulated properly.
