Kony 2012

Suppose that you were kidnapped by a stranger and sended to a children army. Once you arrive there, you shoul dkill your loving parents by yourself and do all of the hard works everyday. You should eat, sleep and learn horrible things at somewhere like a dungeon. Even though you want to escape, you can not. How would you feel?

You might want to die because if you die,you can feel no pain afterwards. However, rather than dying, you might try to imagine that this situation is not real and I was just making up this situation. Nevertheless, this is not a lie, and this is a horribly a heartbreaking reality in Uganda. Joseph Kony is leading this children army(LRA), and social media has been lighting up with a new campaign named Invisible children, aming to stop Joseph Kony. Their plan was to make Kony famous by a video, and recently, they made a video name "Kony 2012".


To give a brief summary of this video "Kony 2012", the video introduces the army of LRA, and how the children in LRA live like. They gave us a stroy of a children name Jacob. Jacob was only 13, but he had to experience so much things that was so hard for him to bare. For instance, Jacob saw his brother dead, because he tried to escape from the army. He said he wanted to follow his brother to the heaven, because he did not want to stay in the army. Like this, the video shows how Joseph Kony make children sad and depressed.

 Everyone who had seen this video will think that they should catch Joseph Kony after the video was seen by many people over the world. However, the controversy starts here, "Should we make Joseph Kony famous by a video like this? Is this really the right way?"  Some of you may answer "no" because you think that making a bad crimainal like Joseph Kony famous, is not ethical. However, we should not care what is ethical or not, infront of the situation children dying in pain. I think we should do whatever it takes to stop Joseph Kony, we should make a video clip of it and there are several reasons for it.

   First of all, if everyone knows about Kony, it will be much easier to catch Kony. For instancce, think about this. You're friend and you were finding the lost thing. The situation was same, but the difference was that you find the lost thing by yourself while your friend find it with everyone. Who do you think will find the lost thing faster? Of course, your friend will find it more faster than you because she's worked with many people. Like in this situation, there's nothing impossible if every single person in the world collaborate each other to find Kony. To make everyone collaborate each other, we should first globalize this situation, and making a video clip is the best way for it.

  Furthermore, globalizing Joseph Kony by a video is an effective method. That's because video can make people feel sympathy with the main character. If you don't understand why, let me ask you one question. What is more realistic between a book and a video? Probably, most people will answer that video is more realsitic because video has many sound effects such as people talking. Nontheless, books just have letters written on. Even though there is some pictures of it, those pictures does not talk and move. Therefore, videos are more realistic and we should use this method to globalize Joseph Kony.

   Finally, if we make a video and show it to everyone, Kony, himself will be afraid. The video was seen by people in the world and someday, Kony will see it too. Kony will notice that many people are trying to find himself, and he will regret that he caused these things. Even though he tried to hide, he will think that hiding is not useful because everyone is trying to catch himself. Then, he will notice that nothing is possible for a bad criminal like him except saying sorry to all of the people in the world, and the members of LRA. Making a video can make Kony himslef regret.




   In conclusion, I think we should do whatever it takes to catch Kony and globalize this event by a video. I thought that making a video was a best method to help find Kony because it can make people fee sympathy and collaborate each other. Also, it will make Kony, himself very afraid. Criminals like Kony should be catched! In Uganda, many children are feeling pain and you should help them. Everyone, you should participate in this Kony issue! Your small effort can save millions and millions of children in Uganda.
Thank you for your kind attention.
