I perceive the film as an open edge in science in the need for solving the present problems using the past and the future.

In deed, Bowling for Columbine presents a real scenario on gun violence and the mysteries surrounding the April 20, 1999 Columbine High School massacre in which Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold murdered 12 students along side their teacher (Howe, D., 2002). The movie is compelling and gives a lot of information regarding this shooting which caused a lot of agonies to many people. The possession of guns had not become an issue of concern in the United States of America (USA) during that time. This explains why it ...
