Entertaiment is the capacity of people to have fun, take pleasure and delight in experiences. These may involve play that mimics adult activities, such as performances (8); prepares children for life, such as child rearing or social interaction (9); or develops skills, such as motor skills needed for sports and music (9). The power of entertainment is demonstrated by the way familiar stories like Scheherazade, from the Persian professional storytelling tradition, have inspired orchestral works by Rimsky-Korsakov and Ravel, film adaptations and innovative video games.
