  4. Purpose • That it is time to make significant changes in response to the reality that global warming (or climate change) is not a political issue but an ethical or moral one.

  5. Consider: • Is that image of Gore with the American flag waving in the background an example of effective juxtaposition that reminds us of his public service and commitment? Or is it a fallacy that manipulates us to associate Gore with patriotic fervor?

  6. Consider: • When Gore narrates the near-death experience of his young son and how that affected him, is he shamelessly appealing to our emotions, or is he emphasizing that we often fail to value what is precious until we are in danger of losing it?

  25. Bully • Bully (originally titled The Bully Project) is a 2011 documentary film about bullying in U.S. schools. Directed by Lee Hirsch, the film follows the lives of five students who face bullying on a daily basis. The documentary follows students from high schools in Georgia, Iowa, Texas, Mississippi and Oklahoma during the 2009–10 school year; it also follows the students' families. The film's particular focus is on the deaths of Tyler Long and Ty Smalley, victims of bullying who took their own lives. The film describes in great detail how the average American school kid cannot defend himself or herself against ridicule. ~Source: Wikipedia
