Bowling for Columbine

Moore's satire defidently brought up mixed emotions for me. First and foremost, I thought it was interesting. I also did not really like the movie. The agents of socialization that helped contribute to gun use is family and society. The Columbine shooters were depressive people who clearly did not have a strong family and friend base. They also listened to Marilyn Manson music, which is a music and pop culture contributor. I don't believe that Marilyn Manson told them to shoot up their school; rather I believe that the shooters were most likely born mentally disturbed and their surrounding nurture brought the likelihood to do bad things to the surface.
