Entertaiment is a multifaceted universe, with offerings for every interest and mood. From a comedy show to a jazz concert, from a romp to a deep documentary, entertainment provides a safe space in which the mind can explore and experience complex emotions. It serves as a form of emotional and intellectual catharsis, while at the same time offering cerebral engagement through escapism, education, and problem-solving.
