• Gun ownership makes more money and gives people a feel of safety.
• He think the 6 year old boy killed the 6 year old girl because he might of been jealous because his mum had to work two jobs.
• He thinks that if we didn't have guns we wouldn't show ourselves in that way. 
• He shows that guns are seem as normal in America (when he goes into a bank) 

These are the different issues

Instead of having one documentary with one subject. He weaves them all together. He achieves this through his vice overs.

(The film is a blanket and it is woven together through the different threads of issue)

Bias: Propaganda is a form of bias. You try to get your views out to your followers through films or posters and any other form of media. It is to do with ideology and creating a image. It is used to try and convince us it is true even if it may not be completely true.  (A form of persuasion)

Bowling for columbine is a form of propaganda. It is against guns and is used to persuade us that there are lots of gun crimes in America. Further more, it tries to convince us it is too easy to get a gun and that other countries who have less access to guns have less crime. It also tries to persuade us to get rid of guns and that they are bad to have around us.


Sometimes we mix up our beliefs with facts (we believe it so much we think it is fact) Propaganda is one way to make this happen. By making people see what you want them to see over a long period of time may cause them to believe you even if what you are saying is not fact and is indeed just your personal belief.
