High Culture vs. Low Culture

High and low culture can also be in the form of magazines. The high culture magazines are the expensive, thick, and "high class" magazines. Examples of this type of magazine are Vogue, Cosmopolitan, and Glamour. These magazines have a lot in them. They include beauty, fashion, real life stories, health and love. In society, all the rich and fashionable women are the ones walking around with these magazines. They are looking at the new beauty secrets and the new fashion trends. The lower classes of people who are not concerned with fashion are buying more magazines like US Weekly and Star. All these magazines have in them is gossip and some celebrity fashion. These are all about celebrities and everything that they are up to. These magazines are cheaper and much thinner. The gossip queens are the ones buying these types of magazines.
