Q1: The activity that deals primarily with symbolic goods is what cultural industries.

Q2:  The congratulate companies that earn off the small and poor companies to boost their profit and become bigger its inevitable that small companies are bought out.

Q3:In order to expose the evils of capitalism and the greed of the rich however even the rich earn off projects that support other ideals rather than capitalism 

Q4: Difficulty in predicting success, high production costs, low reproduction costs, and the fact that media products are 'public goods.

 Q5: 9/10 of the media products made fail leaving a 10% chance of success Hesmonhaldgh calls it a "risky business" especially for low-budget or small media companies

Q6: The media companies need the profit to create more products so it makes sense to make them only for money and profit. However creative media products could bring the next trend and bring in profits in the thousands

 Q7: The new trend or creative direction is mostly followed to bring the most people. Advertisements can bring more people to your product.

Q8: Yes I agree that it's hard enough to create such a unique story in a given amount of time work Dreamwork is amazing and the story builders and animators should get paid more.

Q9:he process through which news is translated into a commodity, or a good or service designed to earn its producer a profit when it is sold in a market.

Q10: They may try too hard to push that certain culture onto their product it almost looks forced or half done which is terrible for the media product. Research and understanding can help that properly.

Q11: Some media products try too hard to push other cultures in other people's faces which causes disarray and confusion that is bad for the product. However on the off chance that there is a proper representation of the said culture then that is good it not only brings a wider audience but they can teach others the importance and love for other cultures and that is good.

Q12:Hesmondhalgh discusses commodification in the cultural industries (turning everything into something that can be bought or sold). He suggests this creates problems on both the consumption and production side which is new and very important. Diversification has gotten very trendy these past few years entire industries have explored new and unique ways to implement their products in other areas of the world. Due to this method then there will be more creativity in the industry this is somewhat bad due to there now being a huge demand for creativity rather than receptiveness which makes for risky business.
