That's why all suicides are morally questionable, because next to your family, and social-circle, the paramedics, the police, the coroner, they all lose something, in having to clean you up. To what extent is a police officer morally obligated to assess whether a person he or she shoots actually wants to be killed?

To be in a world of violence, too afraid to leave your own home, living in fear of your neighbour is film producer, ‘Michael Moore’s’ way of hypocritically viewing America, his home country, in a disrespectful and judgemental manner. Michael Moore’s strong insight on America’s gun laws, in documentary ‘Bowling for Columbine’, leaves his audience questioning how and where he gathered the information used within the documentary. The technique which Michael Moore used for creating the title of the documentary leads the audience to believe that the film is based on the Columbine shooting rather than the negative outcome of Gun Laws in America. Moore’s use of the title Bowling for columbine refers back to the date of April 20th 1999 when the famous Columbine high shooting occurred. By using this title for the documentary, shows Michael Moore’s Disrespect and insensitivity to the situation being barely mentioned and taken lightly, tricking the audience into watching the film.

Even though they over looked some of the his problems and the psychiatric problems that were right in front of them, the university can prevent this horrible situation from happening to their faculty, staff and
His illustrations also make the argument real and the fact that he shared so many different situations of distain speaks to the wide spread nature of the problem. One of the examples Meyer chose to elaborate on was similar to the Steve Rushin’s “spoof” of the news media. Both writers highlight the popularity of news programs that mock and belittle others. Meyers claim Americans continue to watch “loudmouthed pseudo-news shows on cable and keep yelling at the television.” Rushin illustrates his annoyance with a late night anchorman who read a phony report of a drug-seizing event where he sarcastically placed cocaine in an athlete’s nostril. The news reporter smirked.
Michael Moore handled the documentary very well. He had well worded questions and responses that really nailed the people he was interviewing. Michael Moore really knows how to persuade and talk.
