Answer:
The music industry has shifted from a Markup/Peak market cycle to a Distribution/Contraction cycle market
Explanation:
There are four phases in the market cycle.
1. Accumulation or Expansion
2. Markup or Peak
3. Distribution or Contraction
4. Markdown
- Accumulation occurs as a result of economic growth in the market
- Markup or Peak occurs when the buying pressure reaches it highest level.
- Distribution or Contraction occurs when there is weakening in the market, that is, weakening of the market but not total collapse.
- Markdown occurs when the market has sung down to the lowest possible point, that is when there is total collapse of the market.
The market has a cycle that rotates round like a cycle. The moves from Accumulation to Markup then to the Contraction cycle then to Markdown market cycle.
From the scenario given, the music industry was at the Markup cycle market during the time when the music industry could sign multi-year contracts with artists and sell copyright protected music through establish distribution channels.
However, the music industry experienced the Distribution or Contraction market cycle when there was a decline in the number of Compact Disc sold as a result of a shift to digital format and rise of internet technology which allowed sharing of music over a peer-to-peer network without visiting the music shops to buy Compact Disc from recognized distributors.
Answer:
The answer is D. Another teacher puts his notes on PowerPoint and lectures from them to help students take precise notes that capture the content without misunderstandings.
Explanation:
Of all of the strategies the teachers used, this one is the least likely to meet the principal's expectations because it is the one that corresponds the least to the constructivist perspective in education. This perspective states that students should have a more active role in the learning process, and they should be able to apply knowledge to everyday situations outside school. They should also play an active role in the assessment of what they have learned, learning to reflect upon their learning process.
By putting his notes on PowerPoint so students can copy it, the teacher is not planning activities that involve student participation, on the contrary, they have a pasive role.
Its been a while since I did this topic, but I believe it was mostly because under communism there was little work for intellectuals, so they were often the ones who left the country. This resulted in a 'brain drain', a lack of knowledgable people. I seem to remember reading about the entire maths department of a university just up and leaving at one point. You could also argue that it was damaging for the image of communism if so many people were trying to leave.
