What should the role be in people%26#039;s lives? What can writers do to bring social change? Have you personally every been affected by a writer%26#039;s ideas?|||I believe writers do influence society and have an affect on pop culture....for example, James Frey. His %26quot;memoir%26quot; Million Little Pieces turned out to be largely fabricated, setting off national outrage after his book was showcases in Oprah%26#039;s book club.
Perez Hilton, who blogs on his website, influences everything from music to fashion in regards to celebrities. People turn to his website to see what%26#039;s going on with the rich and famous.
Another example could be Stephanie Meyer, who not only has a hugely successful young adult series, but also has an adult novel. Her books are consistently on the top 10 best seller lists. Her influence on society could be compareable to J. K. Rowling with the Harry Potter series.
Basically, every aspect of life is either influenced or challenged by a %26quot;writer%26quot; in every sense.
