What is the purpose of this? https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/j9rayj4sjbnb/wish/199405301 -Moore goes to random people's houses, opening doors to see if people feel safe in their neighbourhood. To show the contrast in attitude between Canada and America.

-This highlights the difference between the attitudes of Canadians and Americans. 
-Having this scene directly after the "fear of black men scene" shows that the driving force of gun violence in America is fear, and in Canada people aren't as fearful of other people.

-Moore chooses to show the footage of what is shown on the news in the two difference countries. He shows that in Detroit, they show all the bad things and in Windsor, they celebrate the good that is happening ]]> 2017-10-22 23:07:27 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/j9rayj4sjbnb/wish/199405495 How does Moore rebut the theories of various New Yorkers as to why Canada is safer? How does Moore support this in the next part of the scene? https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/j9rayj4sjbnb/wish/199405512 -Moore rebuts the various theories of the New Yorkers with facts about Canada that are the opposite of what the people of New York think about the country.

- "If guns made people safe then the united states would be the safest country in the world, its the opposite"
-"Canada was one gun loving, gun toting' gun crazy country"]]> 2017-10-22 23:07:40 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/j9rayj4sjbnb/wish/199405512 How does Moore highlight the relaxed attitude of Canadians? https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/j9rayj4sjbnb/wish/199405693 -He uses Vox populi to show the relaxed attitude of canadians. He interviews them in restaurants to show that they do not have any fear. He also goes to randoms peoples doors to show that people feel safe enough to leave their front door open.]]> 2017-10-22 23:09:09 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/j9rayj4sjbnb/wish/199405693 Why does Moore introduce the differing attitudes towards welfare? Comment on the mis-en-scene and the use of vox populi. https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/j9rayj4sjbnb/wish/199405764 - Moore introduces the differing attitudes to show the consequences of parents not being able to supervise their children due to the impractical, long hours of the littleton welfare system. Moore shows that as a result of the parents being away from the children the student who killed his fellow student in littleton was a result of the poor welfare system. 
- The mis-en-scene used by Moore shows the contrast between the welfare systems in America and Canada. An example is through the difference in welfare homes between Canada and America. Moore shows the different housing in the countries.
-Vox populi, Moore interviews a Canadian man exiting the hospital after having treatment and is then amazed that the man received the treatment for free.

Off he goes to K-Mart in Canada and buys as much ammunition as he wants. charlotte_wells https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/j9rayj4sjbnb/wish/199837870 2017-10-24 03:00:15 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/j9rayj4sjbnb/wish/199837870 Moore uses cinema verite when we keep seeing the people he is interviewing and hear him ask the questions before they answer them. charlotte_wells https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/j9rayj4sjbnb/wish/199837912 2017-10-24 03:00:34 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/j9rayj4sjbnb/wish/199837912 Moore notes, in a local bar, that the television news programs Canadians watch seem a bit different from US programs - because they feature articulate Politicians saying serious things about policy. Moore's voiceover - "Night after night, the Canadians were not being pumped full of fear." charlotte_wells https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/j9rayj4sjbnb/wish/199838046 2017-10-24 03:01:43 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/j9rayj4sjbnb/wish/199838046 "Segregation is more intensified over there. I think the view of things in the States is fighting. Canada is more 'Let's negotiate. Let's work something out.' Where the States is just 'We'll kill you - and that'll be the end of that.'" charlotte_wells https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/j9rayj4sjbnb/wish/199838188 2017-10-24 03:03:10 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/j9rayj4sjbnb/wish/199838188
