Kony 2012

Hello. This time, I would like to talk about Joseph Kony. He is the leader of the LRA, Lord's Resistance Army. He is a really bad criminal because he committed murder, kidnapped children and turned them into soldiers who were forced to kill their parents or into sex slaves. In the mid 1990's, Sudan's military supported the LRA so it became stronger and in 1978, the LRA had about 60,000 to 100,000 child soldiers. Also, they threatened north Uganda and their flag has red, black and blue in order. Because of these horrible crimes that he committed, a man named Jason Russell decided to make a video and make Kony famous to make it easier to catch him. He actually went to Uganda and met people who escaped from the LRA and Kony so there are many evidence. However, some critics against Russell think that making him famous to catch him is a futile effort. There are many arguments regarding criminals famous to catch them. As for me, I agree with the use of Kony 2012 video to capture Joseph Kony because many criminals were captured using this method.  this video can actually make countries and Ugandan people to stop supporting the LRA.  It can also influence people to help catch Kony, the government to help and the world to support this project.



First, many criminals were captured by using this method. Putting pictures of the criminal has been highly successful because by informing the general public existence of the criminal and urgent necessity to catch him, we were able to induce voluntary actions of people, which will also help us catch Kony. There are ample precedents of using video to catch criminals. Furthermore, it will make people get involved and to the project, such as financial donation. With such help from public, Kony 2012 will also be successful in catching the bad Kony.



Second, this video can actually make countries and Ugandan people to stop supporting the LRA. It can make Sudan or threatened people to stop supporting the LRA and tell them how it is safe in the United States of America and give an example such as Jacob, how he is safe now.

In addition, it can influence the government and the world. The reason that the United States of America's government decided to help Uganda is that this video and those who watched convinced the president of  the government to take action. Kony 2012 will catch Kony. given the global attention and assistance.

In conclusion, I agree with the use of this video to catch Joseph Kony because many criminals were captured by this method,  this video can actually make countries and Ugandan people to stop supporting the LRA, influenced people to catch Kony and because it influenced the government and the world. I think Kony should be stopped.
