Michael Moore's thesis was he thinks that the USA is much more violent then any other country and they should have much better gun control.
Michael supports this by showing us how easy it is to get your hands on guns and ammo including illegal guns such as the Tec9 used to kill the students in the school. He used as talking head to show us this. he interviewed on of the parents of a child that was killed in Columbine. He also shows us a montage of how many people are killed in a year in each 1st world countries. He is also asking people how to deal with all this violent. He used the create of South Park to be a talking head because he originally made this show to relieve stress instead of shooting up his school. He also showed us a graphic montage of the history of America and how violent and bloody we are.

Teen smoking
Most people that start smoking start in there teens. My point of view of on teen smoking is it is wrong and not worth it. Smoking in general is bad for your health expensive and a waste of time. People start smoking for a variety of different reasons. Some think it looks cool. Others start because their family members or friends smoke. Statistics show that about 9 out of 10 tobacco user’s start before they're 18 years old. Most adults who started smoking in their teens never expected to become addicted. That's why people say it's just so much easier to not start smoking at all.
Tobacco kills about 45,000 Canadians a year. That's more than the total number of deaths from AIDS, car accidents, suicide, murder, fires and accidental poisonings combined. There are over 4,000 dangerous chemicals in cigarettes, cigars and pipes smoke. Many of these chemicals are cancer causing. Second-hand smoke causes most of the serious health problems. Physicians for a Smoke-Free Canada estimate that every year, second-hand smoke kills from 1100 - 7800 Canadians.
Twenty years ago people could buy cigarettes and smoke pretty much anywhere even in hospitals and Ads for cigarettes were all over the place. Today we're more aware about how bad smoking is for our health. Smoking is restricted or banned in almost all public places and cigarette companies are no longer allowed to advertise on TV, radio, and in many magazines.

How is the relationship between Disney and McDonalds similar to the relationship described in merchants of cool?
Both Disney and McDonalds target children to sell there products too instead of adults. They do not really care about the children they are in it for the money. They lure children by having child friendly mascots. An example of this would be Ronald McDonald.
Merchants of school target children also. They are also in it for the money not the children. They target children by observing them to see what they want to be sold to them. An example would be Sprites hip hop commercials. In this commercial they are trying to fit in with the teens of that generation.
