A wide range of entertainment is available to individuals, groups and societies, from a single choice of personal private entertainment from a now enormous array of pre-recorded products; through banquets for two; through parties of any size; to performances for thousands and even for a global audience. The experience of being entertained has become strongly associated with amusement, so that one common understanding is that it means fun and laughter, although many entertainments have a serious purpose: see the various styles of ceremony, celebration, religious festival or satire for example.
