About
Entertaiment is the enjoyment of a work of art, such as music, film, or theatre, or an activity, such as playing a video game. It can be a powerful stress reliever by lowering cortisol levels and boosting mood, and it can be a cathartic experience, allowing people to vent their emotions in a safe environment. It can also be thought-provoking, encouraging people to solve puzzles or engage in strategic thinking.

Entertainment is not a one-size-fits-all concept; what entertains a child may bore an adult, and different forms of entertainment appeal to different moods—from escapism to education to catharsis to cerebral engagement.
