SummaryDid you know that Canada has more guns per house than the United States? This is actually because Canada has a lot more hunting guns than the States, but they have more hand guns and more dangerous guns then we do. Gun Control in Canada has been a very controversial subject in the past few years for Canadians and also other countries around the world, like the United States. The first law passed involving Gun control was in 1892, when the Criminal Code of Canada required individuals to have a permit to carry a pistol. Canada has always had stricter gun control laws then the United States, and a lower criminal offence rate, but a higher suicide rate . This essay will focus on the history of gun control in Canada, smuggling of guns into Canada, gun control laws in Canada vs. the United States, recent gun control controversy, and events where guns were a major problem, like the Montreal Massacre, and the United States vs. Miller case.

SummaryWriters define themselves by their purposes. A novelist writes to entertain, to embrace the imagination and create a world of escape for the reader. A columnist writes to inform, to relay the facts and describe a world of current events for the reader. What, however, exists in-between? With such a large gray area between truth and untruth, surely some writers thrive upon this ambiguity, writers who can both relay the facts and create the world in which these facts exist. These writers are documentarians, individuals who have found that balance between fiction and nonfiction, who do not lie but are fastidious about the truth they tell. And in their actions and in their desires, they have formulated firsthand the definition of a documentary; for a documentary strives not to answer the questions previously conceived by society, but strives instead to devise its own questions for society to answer itself.
Table of Contents
- Writers define themselves by their purposes.
- The main difference between a documentary and other forms of writing is the proper balance of subjectivity and objectivity.
- The first choice a documentarian makes that solidifies this definition of a documentary is his subject matter.
- If a documentary were to lack emotional input, it would consequently lack opinion.
- Although it comes short of developing the questions a documentary should ask, Bowling for Columbine does embody the overall essence of one.
- The power of the documentarian to choose what becomes part of his documentary is the strongest voice he has.
- This purpose is a purpose of questions and answers, of truths and manipulation; it is a game where the documentarian is the king and the audience merely pawns.
