  2. The effluence that magazines have on culture in the USA is that they deem what is important and what we should care about. The magazine companies know that we will read what they publish so they are the ones who create 'news' and tell us what celebrities are important.

  4. I think magazines influence the culture in the USA a lot. They tell people what to wear, what to buy, the latest trends, the best movies etc. They are important as well because they can help to spread information and news. Magazines also spread gossip, so they shape what we think about a certain thing or person based on what they publish.

  5. Magazines have influenced the United State culture. Magazines are a way to show people different things about different topics. All magazines are not the same. Magazines have influenced the culture of the United States by showing the reader of the magazine what they think is right.

  6. Magazines effect the culture of the USA today. This is because they tell the people who read them information that they want to hear. For example if you are into fashion you get a Vogue magazine and you read about fashion in the up coming season and the models. But you also get in site from other people who like the same things you like and the tell stories. It is another way to learn information that you might not get from the new.

  7. Magazines have a big influence on the culture of America because of how prominent they are in peoples everyday lives. They keep people up to date while still keeping them interested with different pictures and articles. As an example of the power that magazines have over American cultures, some people even make decisions based off of magazines, like what to wear or what to eat.

  8. Magazines in the USA have influenced many things through their media such as how kids dress, behave, act, speak, etc. Magazines are also a great way to send out information on the latest topics such as the newest diet and clothing line. They also share information about history, new discoveries, etc.

  9. Magazines have a very large impact on everyday life in America. Wherever you go, there is guaranteed to be a magazine there. Because of this, the information inside of magazines travels very quickly and reaches many people in the country. For example, if you are waiting to be seen at the dentist, there is always a collection of magazines to look through. This allows the publisher of the magazine to print what they want and be confident that it will reach a large audience. The magazines affect culture by influencing peoples' opinions. They are found everywhere and are read by most people in the country, so almost everyone is influenced by a magazine at some point.

  11. Magazines do have a great impact on the culture of the USA.
    American magazines, first off, will have to pick items that they feel that the American public would like to know. What they decide to put, or not to put, it very important in this aspect because it represents what Americans want to know, and is a shadow of the culture of America. In the picture above, it shows Steve Jobs at the cover. This is a representation of the advanced technology America now carries and enjoys.
    The items that are included in a magazine can also influence the public. One can see, in the cover above, that one of the topics that it includes is "Environment Special: The Perils of Plastic". This could very well influence the American public. After reading this issue, many Americans might be urged to recycle and try to be 'greener'.
    In general, magazines have a large impact on our lives, the items we buy, the way we act, the way we dress, and more. This much is clear by seeing the world around us.

  12. Magazines impact today's culture by shaping what is appropriate and what is not. Most people would believe whatever a magazine says. That is why in America skinny is in. Magazines are mass media, meaning they can spread an idea very quickly. People listen to what is being said in the magazine and they will try to model themselves after the norm.

  13. Magazines have influenced the culture in the USA in many ways. One being information. Magazines have been a great way to spread information and inform the many people around the United States about news, facts, or even upcoming events. Magazines have also spread culture around the world. For example, Nation Geographic magazines have shown the US around the world into different kinds of villages and other culture groups scattered all over the world.

  14. Magazines have a huge influence on the culture in the USA. Magazines are in pharmacies, grocery stores, waiting rooms and now online. Being one of the most accessible kinds of literature, their influence reaches a vast number of people of different social and financial classes. Magazines bring people information about food, fashion and gossip. They can change trends, fads and the culture in general. Because of their large audience they are able to influence people's thoughts on whatever they are writing about.

  15. I think magazines have a positive influence on culture in the USA. Magazines are a great way to advertise anything like sports, clothing, furniture, etc. The advertising helps businesses gain more money and grow because more people get exposed to their products. It can also have a negative effect by showing people, specifically younger people certain things they shouldn't be seeing.

  16. Magazines influence our culture in the USA. Everyone's always after what the new style is, or what's popular. Magazines usually have the new style, what's in now and it teachers people that. Magazines can count as social media, and a good, well written, and evidence supported magazine can convince/change someones mind in a second. People often believe anything they see in a magazine, and magazines take advantage of that.

  19. Magazines have influence on the culture in the United States. People look to magazines for how to dress, who to admire, what to eat, factual information, opinions on topics, etc. Magazines are regarded as an official and valid source of information and opinions. Opinions of writers, editors, and contributors in magazines are taken into account by readers and these people have the ability to shape the opinions of US citizens. In this way, magazines have the ability to influence the culture in the United States. The advertisements in magazines also affect the culture in the United States. Readers of magazines, whether they realize it or not, are influenced by magazine advertisements. They subtly tell readers what brands they should wear, the hotels they should stay at, the products they should use, etc. Additionally, the content that magazines choose to publish can affect the culture in the United States. The content that a magazine chooses to publish, in a way, tells readers what they should think is important. If a magazine features an article on a certain actor, it is telling readers that they should be interested in this actor, and can influence the views of consumers.

  20. I think that magazines have a huge influence on the culture in the USA. Kids, teens, and adults read magazines. Whatever people read, they are influenced by. They are influenced by the fashion, by the food, by the design, by current day events, by politics, and so much more. This is why publishers have to be careful about what the put in the magazines because people are so easily influenced by them.
