Entertaiment is a term used to describe entertainment such as music, film and gaming. It is a powerful force that can create joy, stimulate learning and have negative effects if not regulated properly. What seems to be entertaining for one person or group may seem like work or a form of cruelty to another person. The word “entertainment” has its roots in the Medieval Latin intertenere and the Indo-European root ten. [1]
