Entertaiment
A broader range of entertainment, including theater, movies, television, books, and music, than is usually expected. The broad scope of entertaiment ensures that what entertains one person or group may not be enjoyable to others. What appears to be entertainment for one generation might serve as a means of achieving insight or intellectual growth for another.
