Articles About Entertainment

Entertainment is a complex subject and has many layers. What is a form of entertainment to one person or group may be considered work or an act of cruelty by another. It is interesting how familiar themes and images have the ability to cross over different media. This has helped to ensure the longevity and stability of many cultural forms.

The word “entertainment” derives from the Latin inter tenere, meaning to hold inside. It is also related to the Indo-European root ten, which means “stretch.” Entertainment often hits on the points that the brain was evolved to understand in order to function in a social world. This includes backstabbing, murders and other issues that the brain was shaped to react deeply to.
