Bowling for Columbine
I just saw this movie and it brought up some interesting points.
In case you have not seen the movie, it is a film by Michael Moore that attempts to probe why the U.S. has over 11,000 murders every year and why other countries with similar amounts of guns and gun laws (Canada, Germany, France, Britain) have fewer than 200 gun-related murders each year. Moore's theory was the media; the media displays every single night more and more crimes.
When you turn on the 5 o'clock or 6 o'clock news, what is the news story that it usually displayed? Someone being shot, a robbery, or someone donating to a local charity?
Or how about George W. Bush's #1 priority being the war, and not domestic problems.
Comments?
