  7. i think that magazines have a huge impact on the culture in this country. Their influence has dropped because TV and the internet have replaced them but they still do play a huge role. They play such a huge role because if a magazine is biased and a person reads that magazine then they might have just learned false information.

  8. Magazines influence culture in the USA in many ways. First is how they show people what they want to know like if someone wanted to know more about the IPad they could go out and find an article about it in a magazine.

  9. I think that magazines have a big influence on the culture of the USA. I think this because when you see someone or something on the cover you want to be like them or they inspire you in someway. Also you may be persuaded by what is in bold on the cover or a big story within the magazine.

  10. Magazines are a form of media outlet, so of course they impact the culture in the US. For example, people read fashion magazines to find out what's trendy to wear. Others will only buy things that they see in their favorite magazines. Other magazines, like the ones about celebrities have an influence on society because our society is obsessed with celebrities.

  11. I think that magazines have a huge positive effect on the USA. Magazines used to be a great way of spreading information, and learning about different projects. Magazines also began to offer colored pictures and prints and a diversity in text formatting. Without magazines we would not be were we are today in journalism.

  12. Influences that magazines have on the culture in the USA is that it is a way for Americans to get information on the latest news, trends, and discoveries that pertain to the US or from around the world. Magazines are also a way for people to share their ideas with other people. The magazine allows for people to gain information quickly and be able to have it at easy reach, and it allows for people to be actively reading in some way.

  13. I think that magazines influence people about doing things that are "popular". For example there are magazines that are about football which influences people to follow or play it. There are also magazines about clothing which would influence people to wear the newest kind of fashion. Magazines also inform people about news which could influence them to find more information about it on the web.

  14. I believe magazines have had a major influence over our nation's culture. From viewing different magazines, some articles may influence your opinions about certain topics because by reading more about a topic allows, you to gain more information which will then in turn better your opinion. Some articles in magazines are written to sway a reader one way or another such as political ads or movie/book reviews because they aren't written primary on facts more about the writer's opinion.

  15. Magazines impact on our everyday lives and also society because in a magazine you can read about the news, styles and just about anything that interests you. You can find jobs, houses and apartments just by reading a magazine and that's why I think that magazines has a huge impact on our everyday lives and also the culture in the U.S.A.

  16. Magazines provide the everyday person with information. Such as what Tom Cruise ate for breakfast. Other Magazines are purposed to act as catalogs to advertise their products, for example my mom receives the IKEA catalog. People can use this type of magazine to design their home with the new "in" furniture.This is a part of our culture because as Americans we live for excess, and shiny expensive kitchen appliances. Some magazines also can provide tips to being healthy. These appeal to the people looking to loose weight, and influences our culture with people being driven to loose weight.

  17. I believe that magazines have great influences on the people of the United States of America. Each magazine has unique quality providing the reader with a plethora of information. Typically, the average American believes whatever he or she may read or hear, which is good for the purposes of magazines & their companies. Due to the vulnerable and naive American, magazines often can and do exaggerate, omit and prolong the truth. This gives the magazine companies a greater chance to acquire a profit, and engage consumers. America almost depends on magazines, and articles which provide information as in this way one can feel connected to the surrounding world.

  18. In the United States, magazines are displayed all over the place, with the result setting standards. When people see images, specifically of people, being advertised on the cover of magazines they become interested and they decide that they want to appear just as they do. This influences the culture in the U.S. as it sets an intellectual greed inside the mind to feel the need to look like what is commonly advertised so they can feel a form of self achievement. This is just one of many ways that magazines can influence our culture.

  19. I think that magazines have a very large influence on almost all Americans. They allow for people to read about any sort of topic including politics (The American), sports (ESPN), fashion (Cosmopolitan), and many more. They allow for people to communicate and express information.

  20. Magazines have influenced the culture of the USA by allowing people who do not have or do not want to have the time to go online or watch tv to find out what is going on in the world. It also allows people to read articles about a topic that is published and to see pictures relating to that topic. It is a way to inform the public to current issues in the country and around the world. Also the articles sometimes gives a bias view on the topic but most of the time it an unbiased view. That is how Magazines influenced the culture of the USA

  21. I think that magazines have influenced America in many ways. People are given the ability to learn about any topic they want in a smaller amount of space than a book. Even just a cover of a magazine could inspire someone to learn more about a subject than if they had never seen anything about it before. Magazines can inspire people to do something they never would have even thought about before seeing it.

  22. i think magazines have effected people by having social issues and new in them, rather than using a social network. They gain peoples interests in what is going on in the world around them.

  23. I think that magazines have a large influence over the culture in the U.S.A. They let you know about all the polotics and whats happening around the world. Also they try and persuade you to buy something that may help you in some sort of way or try and make you wear something. Also if you want to read about a certain topic such as cooking you could get a magazine all about cooking or if you want to read about sports you could get a magazine for that too.

  24. Magazines have influenced the culture in the USA by giving people specified options on what news they receive as opposed to the newspaper where they get everything in one.

  25. Magazines still have a very large influence on americans wether it be an online magazine or a regular written one. This is because it is basically written opinions, when people hear these they think of only one side of things(the side the magazine depicts). So people become biased.

  31. I think that magazines did have a big impact on the U.S. But, now I think that magazines are slowly dying now with all the electronics. My mom loves magazines but I feel like future generations will slowly stop using magazines. Now there are so may different ways to access magazines or just information found in magazines.

  32. Magazines have, for the majority of their existence, been a staple. They are diverse, the term magazine falling over a large variety of published works. Magazines can spread information to enlighten their readers, spread rumors to stir up emotions. They can build dreams with breathtaking photos or fester worries with news stories and opinionated columns. The sheer diversity of the magazine industry allows for works to reach all audiences, different magazines catering to different groups. Hence, magazines have influence in that they bring news and information and printed words and photographs that change people, change thousands of people's opinions and insight. Magazines have changed the world as a form of communication and expression.

  34. I think that magazines in the U.S have a very large affect over the population. This is because magazines help tell other people whats going on in the world of celebrities, fashion, and music. These things are not usually found in the news, so people read magazines to learn about these other things.
