He compares the content shown to the public, revealing that while in America, fights, gangs and guns are shown, in Canada, fear is not imposed through news and current affairs. He also compares the culture surrounding guns, showing how the differences between America and Canada are minute, guns still prevalent and widely used in hunting, as well as violence shown to youth through movies and video games. His deduction is that the media in America is to blame for the excessive violence and deaths caused by guns ]]> 2017-10-25 04:12:51 UTC https://padlet.com/katherine_raftesath/l6kqeqlprldb/wish/200267860 pineapple101 https://padlet.com/katherine_raftesath/l6kqeqlprldb/wish/200673410 Contrast is used in this scene through the quick editing and interviews. Moore emphasizes the lack of fear imposed by the media in Canada through repetition. He asks many people the same question and cuts from person to person,who all say the same thing. He asks them whether they are scared of their houses being broken into or things being stolen, whether violence is a threat or if they are scared of guns. They all say they leave their houses unlocked and that they aren't, and have no need to be scared. The revelation of lack of fear and security humiliates the american culture, and attempts to cause them to feel embarrassed and ashamed of their own fears. ]]> 2017-10-26 03:34:13 UTC https://padlet.com/katherine_raftesath/l6kqeqlprldb/wish/200673410 https://padlet.com/katherine_raftesath/l6kqeqlprldb/wish/200673514 This chapter is relatively reliable but holds the potential to be manipulated. While a fair amount of Canadians were interviewed about whether they felt safe or not, and whether they locked their doors, this holds the potential to be manipulated through edited. It is possible that Moore received a number of answers that didn't fit his argument, but chose to leave them out, selecting just those who provided an answer that fitted his agenda in proving that Canada lacks the fear that America has. His section on Canada also only presented one Canadian news clips, a contrast to his coverage of the US, which included a montage of more than 10 clips so the Audience can never make the connection between the media and fear. Moore presents compelling evidence for the fact that Canada isn't scared, but fails to fairly compare the means at which he claims this difference occurs. ]]> 2017-10-26 03:35:36 UTC https://padlet.com/katherine_raftesath/l6kqeqlprldb/wish/200673514
