What influence do you think magazines have on the culture in the USA?

  1. I think magazines have had an influence on the way Americans live. Magazines are very different than other forms of literature/reading. They can focus in on a specific topic, like celebrity drama, an activity, or an event that is taking place in the world. Also, more often than not, magazines provide multiple different points of view to the reader, about whatever the topic is about. This is a good way for the reader to gain a deeper understanding of what they are reading about, and can also educate people in a different way that a book or the news can educate people.

  2. Magazines on the ipad are becoming more popular to read, and are affecting the culture of the USA. Magazines make up or exaggerate stories teaching the concept of gossiping, and stories of celebrities doing things that are wrong making them seem like a good way of getting attention.

  3. Magazines are starting on a slow decline, but they still do influence US culture, mainly they fuel paparazzi and tabloids.

  4. Magazines affect body image and people's opinions on things. They can educate you on things you might not have known. A big thing though, is body image. This is due to photoshop altering the way celebrities look.

  5. I think that magazines have influenced the USA in the past but not as much now. I think that the whole physical magazine is slowly going away, and coming to the digital side. People know can have as many as they want on one device.

  8. The culture of USA isn't influenced by magazines. All magazines try to do is advertise which is not in any way or form of culture in the USA.

  9. I believe magazines have many influences on the culture in the USA. Seeing as so many people in the states read various magazines everyday, whatever is put into each magazine influences its readers. Usually what's published is something positive or interesting that's planted in peoples heads and very rarely is it ever bad.

  13. I think that magazines used to have a lot of impact on the culture in the USA. Now, I think that magazines have less impact than they used to do on culture. Certain magazines, like Time magazine, are still very influential and impact people in their daily lives. I believe that social media and other and less reliable news sources often impact culture more than magazines, though.

  16. I feel magazines have a negative influence on culture in the USA. Many magazines today are about celebrities and gossip and that's not informational, it's just stupid useless rumors.

  17. Magazines have an important influence on culture in the USA. They enable for fast spread of information about specific topics. As well as allowing anyone to read them. Magazines help people stay up to date about what's going on in the world that they find important. There are thousands of different types of magazines for all readers. They are also a good way for advertising a new product or idea for people to learn about.

  19. Magazines have influence on the culture of the USA by influenceing how people may look at the world and what they may want to buy. FOr example my mother works at a salon and people may come in with a magazine asking for their hair to be the same as in the magazine.
