Entertaiment is an important part of human life. People are often entertained by movies, music, dance, sports, and other cultural activities. Some of these activities are considered socially acceptable, while others may be viewed as cruel. For example, dogfighting is an entertainment that many consider to be reprehensible.

Despite the variety of forms of entertainment, some themes are recurrent in various media. A famous example is the story of Scheherazade, which has been adapted into an orchestral work by Rimsky-Korsakov, a film by Pasolini, and an innovative video game by Capcom. The cross-overs among these different types of entertainment have demonstrated the unlimited potential for creative remix.
