Moore, Michael, Where To Invade Next 2015
The man who makes the film travels to different parts of Europe to learn what they do different in their cities from what they learned in AMERICA! He starts in Italy to start off his "invasion" and learns that they get a 8 week paid vacation. In France, the school lunches are 5 star meals to teach kids about better nutrition. Some kids even hesitated to try a Coca Cola. Next stop in Finland, they have the highest education rates because all the kids don’t get homework and the teachers believe they need more time to be kids so they spend 3-4 hours in school. In Solvenia they give their college students free college education so they have to live in debt for getting a degree in their field of study. Ever wanted to know what it was to have a 36 hour work week and still get a scheduled break? Talk to Germany because they have all of that. He then travels to Norway to learn about the prison systems where the inmates live like they are free but have a shot at a second chance. Tunisia actually cares about what women have to say. Not saying that America doesn’t care about what women have to say but Tunisia has more women in their government to speak more not just women rights' but about other important matters as well as that. After all his travels, he realizes all of the ideas that Europe has was from America. I thought the whole film was very informative and well played out. Each topic last just as long as it needed too on the big issues we are dealing with here in America. He went with facts and asked all the right questions only to know make his jaw drop but also his audience. Michael Moore struck a topic for me that I feel very strongly about. The prison systems in Norway are extremely shocking to me with how they run their prisons. It honestly blows my mind that they let these inmates roam around like they didn’t lose their freedom. They only lost the chance of family visits. Source 2. Glazer, Sarah. "Sentencing Reform." CQ Researcher, 10 Jan. 2014, pp. 25-48, library.cqpress.com/cqresearcher/cqresrre2014011000. This source tells a story about a man who sold drugs and received a 55 year sentence for also having 2 illegal weapons. It goes deeper in the sentencing systems for our nation and helps the reader understand better how the sentencing process when given to the convicted. Just by reading it I gained a lot of knowledge about Law and Justice to help keep harmful individuals off the streets. I find this source to be extremely reliable in order to complete my assignment. Reading the information, not only gave me answers to some questions but helped me understand the Justice system better when going to trial to be given a sentence for how terrible the crime may have been. It will help my process in putting together a solid argument as why I believe our prison systems are just fine the way they are. Source 3. Katel, Peter. "Solitary Confinement." CQ Researcher, 14 Sept. 2012, pp. 765-88, library.cqpress.com/cqresearcher/cqresrre2012091400 This source goes into detail on Solitary Confinement. It might be beneficial to an audience who don’t quite know the length that some prisons to go to when sending "sane" prisoners in solitary confinement for close to a decade at most times depending on the severity of the crime. This is a HUGE break for me in getting the information I need to learn more about what actually goes on inside the prisons and how the inmates are treated based on the crimes they commited. Source 4. Clemens, Dianne. "Prison: To Punish or Reform" Dec. 16, 2003 http://www.pbs.org/pov/whatiwant/prison-to-punish-or-reform/ This source has real people talk about their experiences about either being in jail and how some people have lost their loved ones to murder. The article is also going off a show that PBS aired. I find this source to be super helpful in my process to writing my assignment. Reading it had me completely focused on how I would to begin wiriting my MLA Research Paper. Source 5. White, Josh. "Talking with Evil: My interviews with a serial killer, rapist, and child molester." February 22, 2013 https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/talking-with-evil-my-interviews-with-a-serial-killer-rapist-and-child-molester/2013/02/22/41d1f0bc-79e1-11e2-a044-676856536b40_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.738113756532 This man speaks with real criminals about their crimes. One is very remorseful, and the rest are just as sick and twisted in 2013 as they were when they committed their god-awful crimes. They speak about their crimes and their sentences. Josh White even asks them questions if the rolls were reversed to find any kind of heart in these cold souls serving almost life sentences. This source helps me prove a point in explaining that criminals do deserve a second chance at society when they are so mentally ill. In the article and the way to speak, it almost sounds like the last two inmates would do it again if they had the chance and one sees nothing wrong in the crime he committed.
