explains, according to its Director Michael Moore, the reasons for the massacre.
Please, complete his thesis claim:
He claims that (complete).......
He demonstrates that the reasons given by media and some others are biased because developed countries similar to the United States show lower homicide rates than in the U.S.
They blamed Marylin Mason and the kind of music he plays because that is the kind of music the shooter used to listen to. However, the rate crime in countries where people listen to this kind of music is far much lower than the homicide crime in U.S.
They blamed violent video games as responsible for these kids' violent behavior. However the homicide crime in Japan where videogames were invented and are part of the youth culture as well as in other countries, is far much lower than the homicide crime in U.S.
They blamed violent Hollywood movies but in other countries these movies are widely popular and the homicide rate is much lower than in the U.S.
They blamed disfunctional families and divorces as the source of violence in kids but in England whose rate of divorces is haigher than in the U.S and one of the highest in the world, the rate homicide is much lower than in the U.S.
They blamed the violent history of the U.S. as a fact to accept Kids' violent behavior. However countries like Japan, France, England and even Germany that have undergone an ambarrassingly violent past and the homicide rate is far lower than in the U.S.
Michael Moore supported his claim arguing that....... (Please add the argument he used in his documentary)
Michael Moore supports his claim arguing that is because of culture of having guns and use it with the right of self-defense. The fear that the united States have always had since they came to America. They were afraid of everything in America, even themselves, and to feel themselves safe they signed the second amendment, which allowed them to have guns as a right. This Fear manipulates people, which causes a culture of violence. That is why they kill each other at a large rate more than any other country in this planet.
ReplyDeleteHe claims that the reasons for the massacre are the permission of having guns for every one without no restrictions, the kind of education; students feel so much pressure from teachers and the other students. The indiscriminately sell of bullets at the market besides the emmisions of the media feeding the people with fear that really are not so dangerous.
