Entertaiment is a word that encompasses a wide range of activities and events: from the play of children, which develops social skills and creativity (1,2); through the sports or recreation activities of those who like to watch them (3,4); the cooking or baking for friends and family (4,5); to performances staged for thousands or broadcast to a global audience (9). Many of these activities have evolved from earlier forms of entertainment, such as hunting or war.
