Using Mass Media to Argue for Gun Control

Uploaded by : Essays-Now.com

The writer analyzes the film Bowling for Columbine by Michael Moore and the book Culture of Fear by Barry Glassner, and argues that both support the position that Americans live in unnecessary fear, due to sensationalized media coverage of violent events. The writer further argues that the coverage does not reflect reality but is instead intended to boost ratings, and that both Moore and Glassner support this idea. In addition, Moore uses it to argue for gun control. The paper is four pages long and there are two sources listed in the bibliography.
