Columbine: Whose Fault Is It?
The main idea was that if she and the entertainment business she is in is to blame for the Colorado school killing, then the government, parents, media, two killers themselves, religion, prior killers, technology and so on are also to blame. The author structures the article by first presenting evidence from contributing factors, differen people and ideas of killing being accepted by society that shouldn't. For example Cain killing Abel in the bible, Civil War, killers like James Hubberty and Bill Clinton blowing up Kosova. The idea that the media is solely in it to be noisy or that the father actually bought his teenager the murder weapon is also supporting evidence. With those people and ideas in mind it helps her support her opinion that the world is messed up on its own and has been for a while. Next, to proving her point through her own personal experiences, why she is not to blame. This author was the most convincing because of the detailed evidence. This article has taught me to remember that the media has to take a side and it is up to us to be ignorant or not when analyzing topics. It has also slightly changed my mind on how credible media is because they don't usually tell the truth or it is highly exaggerated.
