Bowling for Columbine

1.Michael Moore in Bowling for Columbine uses wit and humour to reach out to the public. He doesn't just appeal to the viewers by using facts, statistics or the history behind Americans obsession with firearms
instead he uses irony in relevant situations related to the use of firearms in America. His approach to the problem of gun related violence is to entertain the viewers by showing humorous cartoons and asking questions that we as viewers must find the answer to ourselves. Michael Moore gives us the information and leaves us, the viewers, to figure out what we think about the issue of gun related violence in America. He uses visual entertainment to inform us of the history of violence in America.

Michael Moore provides the information about the history of gun related violence in America by terrifying and captivating the audience.

2.Bowling for Columbine is more likely to be considered slanted journalism than a documentary. Michael Moore interviews people and asks for their opinions on gun related violence in America rather than simply stating the facts of the issue. He attempts to manipulate the thoughts and views of certain people like Charleton Heston by showing the damage firearms can do. This film doesn't just go into the lives of the people affected by gun related violence but everyday people are also asked what they think of the issue.

3.Michael Moore's interview with Charleton Heston was unethical journalism because he attemted to manipulate the view that Charleton Heston had on firearm use in America. Instead of just asking Heston how he percieved the issue, Michael Moore tried to push his thoughts on him by tyring to make him feelremorse towards his decisions to speak after the death of a child who was shot by a school mate.
