  2. I think that magazines influence us because they give us information on the world around us. Like People magazine tells us which celebrities are dating and keeps us up to date about it. Other magazines give us information on politics or new science discoveries.

  3. I think that magazines have a negative influence on the culture of the USA. I believe this because all of the gossip spreads through these small bundle of page. This then starts all of the drama and creates very stressful lifestyles for the whole of the USA.

  4. Magazines can create a huge diversion between the cultures of the USA and other countries. They are sort of how the public eye views things; which then applies it onto a magazine to be published for the whole world to see. It can influence our culture because of the way people change their perspectives.

  5. Magazines influence us by making us more aware of what is going on in the world. The educational magazines tell us factual information about things that are happening in the world. The tabloids tell us about what could be going on with other people. Magazines give us ideas on how to live, how not to live, and what kind of potential you could have. Magazines can also show us other cultures.

  6. I think magazines have a big influence on the culture in the USA because many people aren't used to using things electronically. Magazines are a good way to inform people of new information without confusing them with new technology.

  7. I believe that magazines influence America by changing people's point of view. Someone can believe that someone is a horrible person then pick up a magazine about them and say "Wow. This person isn't that bad."

  8. Magazines provide viewers with information about a majority of things going on in the world. They get information out to many different types of people who then spread the information to others. The culture is affected because most people believe everything they read and retell something to others. Each magazine provides people with different information, creating different stories people recite to each other.

  14. Magazines influence culture in the USA because they display information unlike any other book, newspaper, or website. They allow the reader to see pictures taken from the event, and have facts and other ideas that happened at an event. Also they are very convenient for many people because they can be found everywhere. I feel that magazines have had more of a cultural affect then newspapers or books because they provide more entertainment for the reader.
