Document Summary

Narrative complexity in mullholand drive: the classical hollywood model of filmmaking. Examples of early cinema can be seen in the films editing. The typical hollywood film has a structure that"s temporal (story is told in which a story would occur) Vog (voice of god) to tell you what to think, tie the story. There is a focus on one zone of functionality, rather than a meaning that is kind of up in the air and we can grab at whatever we feel fits best. Increasing amount of ability ot engage with things directly. Things are out there for us to modify and change and to create new things. Information is being delivered to us in incredibly complicated ways. We are no longer used to sitting down and doing a single thing, that we devote our full attention to. Quietism: how the way we come up with answers is through self-contemplation, as opposed to engaging in religious practice.

Analysis of perfect world competition strategy and contribution of technology to trade

I. Analysis of the strategic competition of the perfect world enterprise
 
1. Perfect World Film and Television Product Competition Strategy
First of all, in the domestic market, the strategy of perfect world film and television is a diversification strategy. Focus on decentralized investments, including TV dramas, movies, and variety shows. His works satisfy the needs of the audience and are full of positive energy. Therefore, he won the Five One Project of the Central Propaganda Department and the Flying Award of the Chinese TV series, which made the perfect world gain a good reputation in the industry and benefit the long-term business. development of. At the same time, further expand to invest in the production of high-quality variety shows, such as "Extreme Challenge", "cross-border song king", "cross-border comedy king" and so on.
Perfect World Film and Television utilizes the Blue Ocean Strategy to invest in the small-cost film market, investing in "Steel's Piano", "Love for Love 33 Days", "Watching the Wind", "Let's Get Married", "Extraordinary Tasks", "Carnival" Other films, including "Love for Love 33 Days", became the biggest box office dark horse in the 2011 movie market with excellent box office results.
 
Secondly, in the international market, the perfect world film and television strategy is a pan-entertainment strategy layout, and further to the internationalization of film and television. Not only has it entered into a single investment and strategic cooperation agreement with Universal Pictures, a famous Hollywood company, but also introduced many foreign films to the Chinese market. The domestic market environment is fiercely competitive, and the perfect world film and television highlights. In the cooperation film list, there are many famous masterpieces: "Too Dark Time", "Phantom Shadow Sewing". In 2017, Perfect World Television entered the Jiaxing Media and led the new round of D-round financing, expansion, and established the perfect Weixiu Entertainment Group.
 
Summarize the competitive strategy of perfect world film and television. By leveraging the vigorous development of China's cultural industry, based on the cultural boutique strategy, using the influence of brand reputation, and improving the scale, intensification and specialization of the cultural industry, it is a global entertainment company with long-term influence.
 
II.The contribution of technology to trade
 
1. The relationship and contribution of technology and trade
First, according to the theory of comparative advantage, the difference in relative costs creates the basis for trade between the two countries. The emergence and development of technology have led to a gap in the production efficiency of products with a small cost gap, which has created a huge cost gap, which has prompted technologically advanced countries to export cheaper products to backward countries, and technology has promoted the expansion of trade scale.
Secondly, the development of international trade has led to the export of many technologies. According to the product life cycle theory, technology in developed countries will be iterated after the maturity period, and the original technology shows a trend of transition to developing countries to obtain more marginal profits. As a result, technology has flowed from the producing countries, and the producing countries have acquired new technologies, and developing countries have thus acquired technology that they cannot develop in their own countries for production. Overall, this has increased the welfare level of countries, reduced the cost of exports, and expanded the scale of trade between countries in the long run.
 
2.The promotion of technology in the perfect world of film and television
 
As mentioned above, Perfect World Film and Television has adopted a diversified strategy and reached strategic cooperation with Universal Studios of Hollywood. Both parties will benefit from this. For Universal Pictures, exporting its mature shooting technology to the perfect world, you can use the cheaper labour costs and fixed costs in China to get quality-assured films. For the perfect world, the mature technology of the world can be Helping them to complete the filming of the film better, and also gain a higher profit from the film export. Therefore, the export of film and television technology has promoted the film and television trade between China and the United States.


As entropy increases there will be more useful energy to do‘work’. True or false?

False. As entropy increases, there will generally be less usefulenergy to do work. We can think of entropy as usually being presentin the form of heat energy. Imagine a car motor, which attempts toturn chemical potential energy into kinetic energy (movement). Lessefficient motors will get hotter for the same amount of fuelconsumed. When you drive a car you hope that most of the fuelenergy is converted into kinetic energy and not lost as heat(entropy). The hotter the car (and thus the more entropy) the lessefficient the ability to do ‘work’ (the moving of the vehicle).
True. As entropy increases, there will generally be more usefulenergy to do work. We can think of entropy as usually being presentin the form of heat energy. In most biological and mechanicalsystems it is heat energy which is captured to do useful 'work'.Heat energy, the random movement of molecules, and increases inentropy are central to doing useful work.

Biological systems sometimes appear on the surface to break theSecond Law of Thermodynamics – by seemingly increasing the order inthe overall system. They don’t. Why?

a. Earth (and living things on it) are not a closed system. Thesun's constant input of energy in the form of photons is harnessedby living things to create internal order within themselves. Butwithout such a constant input of energy, most biological systems onearth would break down.
b. The Second Law tells us that no natural process can occurunless it is also associated with an increase in the entropy of theuniverse. A living organism (such as an animal or plant) brings inmatter and energy from its environment and uses this to creategreater order within its body: the processes of life. But it isimportant to keep in mind that all animals and plants are also partof a larger system of the environment around them. While creating asmall ‘pocket’ of order, the processes of life (metabolism,movement, etc..) releases heat into the environment – thusincreasing the entropy of the universe and following the2nd law.
c. Living things, by harnessing energy to create order (withinand around themselves) actually create a paradox in questionssurrounding the first and second laws of thermodynamics andseemingly violate many previously held assumptions.
d. Both a and b above are correct.

When plants capture energy in the photons of sunlight andconvert that energy into the chemical bonds of organic molecules,are they creating new energy?

No, the energy is being transferred from one form into another.But no new energy is being created.
No, the overall total energy is decreasing over time.
Yes, by capturing photons, the plants are creating newenergy.
Yes, by capturing photons, the plants are creating new energy -of a different wavelength.

Question is this -How government intervenes in the economy from three perspectives: Fiscal, Monetary, and Supply Side efforts. You have also now looked at the criticisms of government involvement from the Classical perspective. Which approach makes the most sense to you?

Comment on this answer...

This is Answer-After learning about the classical economic viewpoint and the criticisms of government from it, I don't think there is one single approach that makes the most sense to me between fiscal, monetary, and supply-side policies. I think a minimal mix of the three is okay, and for each, they have their own given situations where they may work best in comparison to the others, or even work in conjunction with one another.

Increasing aggregate demand through fiscal policy may help the economy with unemployment and price levels, or it may hurt the economy instead and leave it in a worse state than it was previously found to be at. This could create artificial demand where there isn't true demand from the consumers. This could trick business and mess them up.

Controlling the supply of money through monetary policy may be helpful to the economy for taming inflation and keeping price stability. Controlling it too much could cause problems such as market unpredictability, which in turn could cause mixed results such as to scare people away or draw them into borrowing less or more money.

Increasing supply through supply-side policies may help the economy with unemployment and price levels. It could hurt people in ways such as people not receiving federal funding, or receive less of it (budget cuts in whatever that may be) due to tax cuts, exemptions, etc., from the government to businesses.

With these three perspectives in mind, I would prefer to see a more classical approach to economic situations. The perspectives of fiscal, monetary, and supply-side policy I think can each be helpful but would be best if they didn't have to be implemented in the first place. They have the potential to cause damage to the economy. After watching the classical economics video and reading the chapter, one thing that stood out to me and I think summarizes government involvement from a classical economists viewpoint is the government's role is like being the umpire in a baseball game. They should make sure everyone plays by the rules and only enters the game as a last resort. That approach makes sense to me.
