bowling for columbine.

michael moore is trying to put across the point that america is scared which makes them be more violent. for example the reason why the columbine shooters shot themselves after they attacked the school was because they were scared about what would happen to them. michael moore is also trying to get people thinking about who is the reason for this. many people have answers but what is the real reason or are their many answers.

michael moore supports his argument in many ways. he supports it with statistics millons of people die every year because of americans. americans also have by far the largest number of homocides. he also supports it in animation witch shows that ever since the people came from europe to america they have been scared. that is why they came in the first place;because they were scared. he also has an interveiw with merilyn manson who many believe is the cause for many killings.in the interveiw they covered why would only americans react to his music that way.they also listen to his music in other parts of the world and there is not nearly as much killing there. they also say that the president is responsible for alot of it because look at all the people americans kill over seas.michael moore also is trying to get across that the gun laws are way too leanient.

Taylor Swift
Our project is about an amazing country singer Taylor Swift. She is an extremely popular country singer who has enriched many with her voice. She produced her first record through Big Machine Records. After that she got published in many magazines. Three of her cds are already out on the market and she has another one coming out soon that is already advertised. When they put her in the magazines and interview her on TV they advertise her which wants people buy her merchandise like cds, shirts, and posters, and books. They also recently casted her in a movie this also helps to get her more advertisement.
French Senate passes ban on full Muslim veils
The French senate has recently banned the use of full face veils in public, in France. This new law will greatly impact the Muslim ladies some who are used to wearing the “niqab”. Some people claim that it bothers them to see people in full face veils. Others have even said that it scared them to see people with full face veils. It shouldn’t be such a big deal; people should have freedom of religion and freedom to wear what they wish.
The French senate is being a little hasty with this new law. Many people believe that the “niqab” Is not part of there religion but it could just be that they have misinterpreted their holy books. Religious books are often hard to interpret. Depending on what your viewpoint is it can seem to mean completely different things with the exact same words. For example if it says for women to wear a head covering. Some people think it means the top of their head others may think it means their whole head face included.
People should have the freedom to wear what they want. People shouldn’t let other peoples clothing bother them so much. One of their reasons is because some Muslims are terrorists. It’s not like it’s going to make that much of a difference by wearing different clothing.
They have very pathetic reasons for their new law. It was totally unnecessary to even make this law. What’s wrong with covering your face? By allowing this law it might even come to the point where it’s illegal to cover other parts of your body like your hands arms and feet. What about on a cold day? If you can’t wear scarves your face could end up getting very cold.
They could easily scrap the law which would cause way less of a commotion. Why cause havoc when it isn’t necessary? Another thing is the majority of the France population is Muslim. So what is the point of fighting laws against majority? If you were worried about them killing you before making laws against them won’t make things better
So why make a ban against something that is not worthy the havoc it’ll cause. Just scrap the law. Let people have freedom of religion and let them wear what they wish.
