Entertaiment is a broad term that encompasses many different types of entertainment. It may be as simple as choosing a piece of personal entertainment from one of the now enormous array of pre-recorded products; to planning a celebration or religious festival; to creating and performing a piece for a large audience. The concept of entertainment has evolved over time to incorporate a wide variety of cultural and social practices and themes. For example, the story of Scheherazade from the Persian professional storytelling tradition inspired Rimsky-Korsakov and Ravel to write orchestral music; Pasolini to make a film adaptation; and even an innovative video game.
