10 Thesis Statements based on
Michael Moore’s Documentary Film “Bowling for Columbine”
Thesis #1:
The United States have a higher murder rate with firearms than Canada, even though
Canada have the same amount of guns as the U.S. The violent history of America contributes greatly in the crimes presented in our society. Response: I agree with this because Canada has more gun control than the United States,
Canada has generally experienced far fewer crimes of gun violence than the United States due to gun control. I personally think that the U.S. should look up north for a solution to its firearms problems. Thesis #2: The media in America are more prone to violence than in Canada, as a result
Americans are more fearful than Canadians. This leads to higher crime rates in the U.S.
Response
: I agree with this statement because the Canadians have fewer crime rates than the
United States. Also, they are not afraid to leave their front doors unlocked because they don’t want to feel like they are trapped in their own home. Americans on the other hand lock all doors and fear that someone may come in and hurt them if their home is not securely locked. Thesis #3: The Second Amendment “Right to Bear Arms” is overused by americans even when not needed, like in the case of Charlton Heston. People use this amendment as the right to own weapons, believing that their weapons are protected. Response:
I agree with this statement, specially in the case of Charlton Heston. I understand that us Americans have the right to bear arms but it doesn't make sense to have multiple loaded guns around your house if you have not been attacked. People don’t need more than 10 rounds in a magazine for self defense if they know how to shoot a gun properly. This just shows how most Americans have a unhealthy obsession with firearms as well as how they live with fear
