Sociocultural Aspects of Arts
Sociocultural Aspects of Arts
Art impacts the society by varying opinions and imparting values. Moreover, it transforms experiences across space as well as time. Several studies have shown that art affects the ultimate sense of an individual. Some of the arts for example Painting, statue, literature, and music are frequently reflected to be the fountain of a society’s shared memory. Hence art conserves what fact-based historical archives cannot preserve and also how it felt to be in a specific domicile at a particular time. Therefore, in this sense art is communication as it allows the individuals from diverse cultures and at different periods to interconnect with each other through imageries, resonances, and stories. From this perspective, it is good to note that art is habitually a vehicle aimed at social change.
Arts can provide some expression to the politically or socially marginalized. A song, picture or a novel can provoke some sentiments in the persons who meet it and thereby stimulating them to march for change. Therefore art also has beneficial impacts on the society. Art is primarily an individual expression as it is unequally what ensues around the artist that touches him individually that finishes up being conveyed. Therefore art affects the individuals that usually perceive it and apprehend it. Furthermore for a person to comprehend art, he or she needs an education. The delinquent is that the individuals who usually understands art well, are those who are typically better off compared to those who require some revolution in society as well as in the system and this is where those who are in power usually controls art because it is like they everything needed in understanding the art phenomena.
Therefore if we are talking about the art bringing some positive change in the society, it is better to note that the real contributor is mainly education and it is significant when studying the function of art as well as the history of a given period.

Socio and Economic Barriers Faced by Pepsi Co and Coke in India
Venturing into a foreign market requires a thorough market research to establish political, cultural and economic environment are conducive for the proposed business. When Coke initially entered the Indian market, it had not done its research and had to leave the market as it was not prepared to meet the demands of the state at that time (Bateman & Snell, 2013). Pepsi Co entered the Indian market a few years later and was able to establish itself as it had done its market research.When Pepsi Co ventured into the Indian Market in 1986, the government of India protected local industries from foreign companies. Coke re-entered the Indian market in 1993 and even at this time the government of India had not been liberalized and had the policy of forbidding foreign products if a similar was produced by indigenous producers. Due to the protectionism policies, volume of sales by Pepsi were dictated by the government and this resulted in low sales. Coke was forced to sell part of its equity as a condition for entering and buying an Indian Company. Indian laws also forbade the promotion of international brand names if products were sold within the country (Bateman & Snell, 2013). This forced both Pepsi Co and Coke to incorporate Indian names into their product names, for example, Pepsi were renamed ‘Lehar Pepsi’ while Coke was renamed ‘Coca Cola India.’ The Indian government thus controlled the way companies did business by imposing laws and rules of doing business.Pressure groups in India had a political clout in India and affected the business of Coke and Pepsi by calling for a boycott of American and British goods when Iraq was attacked. They even claimed that drinks made by these two companies were contaminated by pesticides (Bateman & Snell, 2013).In conclusion, the political and legal environment in India was not predictable. Both Pepsi Co and Coke were not proactive.
Amazon Grocery and Aldi Grocery
Customers have the option whether to buy goods online or from retail outlets. Amazon Grocery sells its products online while Aldi sells from its retail outlets.Amazon’s target market is high-end shoppers and they ensure their products are suited to satisfy the needs of these shoppers. Families with several children are also a key target. Aldi, on the other hand targets shoppers who are looking for quality products at discounted prices. Amazon has taken advantage of the changing life styles where a particular group of shoppers do not have time to visit retail outlets and also employed the strategy of free delivery. Aldi, on the other hand, has identified the need of shoppers who require quality products at affordable prices. Besides the low costs, Aldi specializes on a limited number of fast moving products which are their own brands (Hammond & Berman, 2014). The simplicity of their operation has contributed to their growth and profitability in spite of spending minimum amounts on advertising. Amazon’s approach requires that they advertise on internet and television to enable prospective shoppers see products before placing orders.Aldi is better positioned than Amazon because it can reach a wider market. Although Amazon offers convenience, only a small percentage of shoppers are able to shop online because it is expensive. Aldi should maintain their quality and pricing strategy to sustain their edge over other competitors. Aldi should start vigorous advertising campaigns to attract new customers and attain their regular customers (Hammond & Berman, 2014). It is important for Aldi to use technology to be more competitive. These strategies will improve the company’s image of Corporate Social Responsibility because the company will be showing it cares for the community by providing quality products at affordable prices. The advertisements will be able to communicate the company’s activities and technology will enhance the communication between the business and the community.
