"Stupid White Men"

Paper Summary:

The paper states that before making assumptions and applying critical thinking to any one of the topics from Michael Moore's book, "Stupid White Men ...and Other Sorry Excuses for the State of the Nation!" we need to make the observation that his work is a set of applicable solutions to problems that he identifies in the American society and political life. The paper says its more of a putting together of real facts and humorous comments, of permanently critical observations and hilariously inapplicable solutions. The paper conveys that many of these solutions are comical, either real ones or unreal ones.

From the Paper:

"Third of all, some of the facts that Moore uses seem to be right down wrong. The US leads in terms of budget deficit, however, up to 2001, this was not true: the US recorded throughout the Clinton administration a positive budgetary balance. At this point, as a reader, I would have probably been more entitled to discover why it came about that this balance turned negative, under what circumstances and how this affected the US society. From all these perspectives, Michael Moore's book succeeds only occasionally to go beyond the stature of a comment book, a small satiric comment on US society, rather than a well-analyzed, documented critic of the US society."
