Study Task 3 - Sectors & Service

Primary Sector:
The primary sector of the economy extracts or harvests products from the earth.
e.g. agriculture, farming, mining, fishing, hunting

Secondary Sector:
The secondary sector of the economy manufactures finished goods.
e.g.  metal working and smelting, textile production, chemical engineering, construction

Tertiary Sector:
The tertiary sector of the economy is the service industry.
e.g. retail and wholesale sales, transportation and distribution, entertainment/media, restaurants

Quaternary Sector:
The quaternary sector of the economy consists of intellectual activities.
e.g. government, culture, scientific research, education, and information technology

Public Sector:
The part of the economy concerned with providing basic government, state or publicly owned services
e.g. police, military, health care, primary/secondary education

Private Sector:
The part of the economy that is not state controlled, and is run by individuals and companies for profit.
e.g. all for-profit businesses that are not government owned/run

Third Sector:
The part of the economy that includes voluntary or not-for-profit sectors or organisations
e.g. voluntary and community organisations, self-help groups


This poster was designed for the tertiary sector, as it relates to the entertainment industry, particularly television and advertising. I think it is successful as it creatively and entertainingly advertises the channel it is meant to advertise in a relevant way. It is part of the private sector


William Grill's illustrated book "Shackleton's Journey" is part of tertiary sector as it is a book meant to be read for entertainment, but could also potentially be part of the quaternary sector because as it is based on historical fact, could be considered educational. I haven't read the book so I can't comment on how successful it is on the education front but it's nice to look at

This cover illustration is part of the tertiary sector again

Could potentially be seen as the secondary sector as it is a finished good? Unless the illustration was commissioned as a service in the tertiary sector and the card was made my someone else in the secondary sector.
