Entertaiment is a vast and varied collection of ideas, images, and structures. It is a rich store of cultural and aesthetic meaning, which continues to be reinterpreted in various ways across media. Its familiar forms have demonstrated an almost unlimited capacity for creative remix, which has ensured the continuity and longevity of many themes, images, and structures.
Entertainment is often associated with amusement, and much of it is characterized by humor. However, it can take more serious forms as well, such as in ceremonies, celebrations, religious festivals, and satire. It is a very wide-ranging collection, and its many forms reflect the way the human mind was evolved to understand the world around it.
