Bowling for Columbine & Culture of Fear

Abstract: A 4 page essay that discusses gun control issues. Filmmaker Michael Moore in Bowling for Columbine and author Barry Glassner in Culture of Fear (1999) take the stance that the American culture exits within an unrealistic climate fear due to the sensationalism of media coverage, which is designed to attract attention, and not necessarily represent the reality of contemporary US society. Both Moore and Glassner support this position, and Moore uses it to argue for gun control. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
