The bar chart demonstrates some information about the amount of money that was spent on different types of entertainments by Asians, Europeans and American people in the years 1995 and 2000. Overall, it can be seen that the kinds of entertainment are divided into five different categories which are cinema, video, music, publishing and television.

First of all, as it can be clearly seen from the bar chart, the budget allocated for entertainment was higher in three continents in the year 2000 than in 1995. Secondly, television and publishing are the most preferred entertainment type among the given categories followed by music preference. As for cinema and video, it is clearly noticed that this option was the least preferred entertaining tool in both years.

One can obviously notice that, American people attached the most importance to entertainment than Asian and European people did, by spending 195 in 1995 and 257 units in 2000 on entertainment. They were followed by Europeans who spent totally 228 units on both years and Asian people who spent the least amount of money on entertainment, which was about half of the money that Americans spent.
