Kony 2012

  
  
What is LRA? LRA, which means 'Lord's Resistance Army', is a militant group. It has been accused of widespread human rights violations, including murder, child-sex slavery, forcing children to participate in hostilities, and many other crimes. Moreover, they ordered children to kill their own parents. How harsh. Can you believe that? The leader of the group, Joesph Kony, made an army with children and tried to hurt a lot of people. If you are one of those children, who are kidnapped by Kony, and he ordered you to hurt your parents, how would you feel? I would feel horrible. If we want to stop them, we should tell people around the world that we should try to catch him. The only way to do this is to make a video or write on the internet. We can't have a trip over the world. We don't have much time!
 

 

   I agree with the use of the video to capture Joesph Kony to make people know about him and to make them feel that they should help. There is a lot of way that we could tell people that we should stop him, but videos are the best way to make people impressed. They make us feel like we are meeting those people who are trying to help in real life. Also, when they get impressed they will start to be interested in Kony and will find a way to help the children. We should make a video and impress a lot of people to make them help us. Who knows? Kony could be famous like Mickey Mouse.


        
   Secondly, when Kony gets famous because of the video, he will start to be nervous. Nervousness makes people hard to do something and it could affect Kony as well. Feeling nervous, Kony will think that he does not have hope and give up. He could make more soldiers to strengthen his army, but if everybody in this world agrees to capture him, he will try not to kidnap any more. Children and adults will stop his cruel movement. We should use a video to capture Kony because it makes him nervous and that could stop him from doing something evil.






   Thirdly, making Kony famous will help the 'invisible children' which is a group that tries to help children from that evil man. They get donations to help those children and make videos, take pictures and do a lot of other things that could help them. If a lot of people gave donations to the 'invisible children', it could help them find out Kony. Donations are spent in other stuffs, too, but it is better to donate some of the money to help the 'invisible children' to capture Kony.
   Kony has recruited up to 66,000 child soldiers in the past two decades. His troops often come into villages and kill the adults and force a lot of children to fight for his army. I think we should use videos to capture Joesph Kony by making him famous because it makes people have interest in him and have the mind to help us. Also, it could make him so nervous that he gives up or could convince people to help the 'invisible children' to capture Kony. Video is a good way to capture Kony, who is very evil. Videos, let's start!

  1. Again, this is Yena- In a personal perspective, Kony is crazy, and he is doing a similar thing as the regulations od UN war crimes-he needs to be brought down to justice-but the only thing I am concerned is ARE VIDEOS EFFICIENT? I never heard about him-ads are not enough-places that have " loud voices" need to lead this-ex)If places like CNN promotes to stop this, the international community would be more engaged, or at least more willing to catch him, even if it takes UN's action itself(though I'm not really sure if they already initiated it), including Peacekeepers in the UN Security Council-though I'm not sure if it works for this field, but the UN should have a branch that relates to it
    Hope u r having a great time!!

  3. Hi Jane,
    This is a good essay on Kony. You should include the video next time though so people can see what you are talking about. Also, tell the readers where this is happening. In argumentative essays, you also need to give the opposing resons and rebute them. The conclusion is well-written. Keep trying!

  4. Hey, it's Yena again-rather than using those donations for ads, why don't we use it for medical/food aid instead? It would be much more directly engaged to helping the children. The UNWFP could ve in charge, along with Peacekeepers-PLZ write some 답글!!!!!! I want to hear ur rebuttals and refutation-maybe rather a crossfire than rebuttals lol
