The United States has a violent culture, and this is seen through the
aggressive experiences that their own citizens face due to the gun laws and through
the violence that they use against other countries. This sense of violence is increased
and heightened media and governmental manipulation to create a society that is
rooted in the Culture of death and in fear, paranoia and ignorance. However, there is
hope. By encouraging others to live a Culture of Life, based on solidarity, and respect
for human dignity and life; through peaceful protest, petitioning, and awareness
campaigns; as the documentary, Bowling for Columbine proves, it is possible to
reduce the violence and make a difference.
