- The difference between the culture industries and other industries is the fact they run off/ adapt towards the majority/dominant culture to appeal to them more. They also have a creative impact on the culture- organisations that are making cultural creativity. Cultural creative industries have a symbolic significance to which they can protest or carry meaning towards the audience while any other industry can’t.

The Culture Industries
What is the difference between the culture industries and other industries (creative industries)?
Both industries have many things in common such as a need of a place to work, a staff, both need structure and plans, at the end of the day industry is needed simply and solely for jobs, jobs that give money which is the pillar of society.
But, what is the difference?
One is a necessity and the other is purely for entertainment. We as a culture need food and we need water but in creative industry having the same thing all the time no longer makes it desirable.
If we didn’t have these industries how would we know about anything? About war, who was fighting. What the weather would be or about crime rates. The culture industry decides who we are, without it we are nothing. We need it to make sense of the world.
“…Pivotal role in organizing the images and discourses through which people make sense of the world” – Peter Golding & Graham Murdock
Culture industries are more creative than other typical industries.
