Thesis:

Michael Moore the director of Bowling for Columbine exploits the discourse of the culture of fear and blame in order to position the audience to accept his opinion that America is in dire need for gun control.

Expansion

Inevitable this culture of fear and blame is largely supported through the sociocultural perspectives of Americans and their way of life. Moore successfully exploits the attitudes of the American people, highlighting the need for change plus a social desire to do so.

Thesis:

Todays youth are far wiser than their predecessors.

Expansion

[i]Youth culture is recognised by 21st Century society as a forbidding, uncontrollable wasteland of technology, rights aware, rude, materialists. However, perhaps the persuasiveness and attractiveness of this ideology stems from the increasingly obvious under current of the 'wise aged' no longer being able to control youth through traditional means.

O noes I used Wiki. Don't know how good proof this could be, but it shows that whites are the clear minority when it comes to gangs.

LOL @ Speculation.


Have you ever been in a gang? Most of them arent pussies, as said before its the sense of a family, since a ton of people dont have a family there for them. Most arent black or hispanic thats just what the media cover(ed). Guess you dont know about the kkk?

just because the kkk is old doesn't mean its got a lot of ppl in it. The KKK today is very weak and its so small that theres barely a national clan, most are broken up into little regional groups now. Wikipedia says that there are 5000-8000 whites in KKK groups across America, now thats like almost nobody when theres 306 million people living in the US.
