Answer 1

This one has got me a little conflicted, as some of the answer seem just as logical as the others.

C- Changing economical structure for better or worse, corporations are capable of changing economical flow. Imagine Detroit, right? Detroit used to be a beautiful, cultured, thriving city thanks to the motor industry, but since that industry has died, Detroit has fallen into an alternative culture of violence and extortion.

Answer 2

The correct answer B) corporations drive industry and industry can mold ideas about culture.

Corporations specifically contribute to the diffusion of culture in that corporations drive industry and industry cam mold ideas about culture.

Corporations drive industries and their presence have an impact not only in economics but also in culture. For instance, mass media corporations such as ABC that is the owner of Disney and ESPN that is a subsidiary of Disney Group.

Through the many different contents they offer, these companies can mold ideas about culture in a country and worldwide. That is why they are considered multinational companies. They can influence the American Culture and also send the American culture or way of living to other nations via cartoons, movies or TV series.
