World Music Vs. Pop Music "A Cultural War"


             limited to how many stores I could visit and how far I would have to travel. .
             Prior to my visits, I explored which questions I would ask each store clerk. I was careful.
             to ask open-ended questions to avoid simple answers (yes or no) and not to ask to many.
             questions. I split the questions into two categories: questions I asked myself and questions I.
             would ask the store clerks. As I visited each store, I would ask myself simple questions such as: .
             1. What is unique or confusing about the world music section? 2. How are recordings in the.
             world music section being displayed? 3. What is the ratio between the pop music section and the.
             world music section? The questions I asked the clerks were: 1. What style of world music do.
             your customers purchase the most? 2. What are the most sought after world music groups? 3. .

             section was located way in the back of the store. As I was looking around the world music.
             section I became very confused. Media Play had their world music section set-up in a very.
             complicated way. It was certainly different from the traditional alphabetical order of the group's.
             names. Media Play organized the groups, in the world music section based on a mixture of.
             ethnicity and language. Listed before each ethnicity or language groups was a single letter: A, B,.
             C, D, E, and F. According to one of the workers, these letters really didn't mean anything. In.
             fact, he didn't even know what the letters indicated. I asked Tim(he only gave his first name), the.
