Entertaiment
Movies, music, books and other forms of culture used to amuse, instruct or educate. Entertainment is a very flexible concept, as what may be entertaining to one group or individual can be considered work or an act of cruelty by another. This flexibility has also enabled entertainments to easily cross between different media, resulting in many recognizable images and structures appearing in films, books, radio, television, music, live performances, and other forms of digital entertainment.
The word entertainment comes from the Medieval Latin intertenere, derived from the prefix inter meaning “inside” and the suffix tenere, a variant of the Indo-European root ten. The Fall 2011 issue of Transformational Entertainment News was devoted to the theme of Entertainment.
