KONY2012??????

This Monday as I logged into my Facebook my newsfeed was saturated with videos, wall post, pictures that said, kony 2012. I was very confused about what people were talking about. That whole day I ignored it, but people kept posting it up and making a big deal out of it. So I decided to watch the video, the video was about 28 minutes long. This video was about a man that goes by the name of Joseph kony, he is a dictator in Africa. This man is being accused of kidnapping children and making them soldiers, and making the girls sex slaves. They are forced to kill even their own parents. This video starts off very interesting. They begin by making people realize how their life is good compared to life in other countries. Which I agree on, we are very unaware of what other countries are going through and we complain about simple things like not having the newest shoes on the market.  This video is trying to persuade people to be aware of what's happening and "make kony famous". The video explains clearly what they want us to do. Which is to buy their "kit" and donate. On April 20th they want everyone to put posters and fliers of Konys picture all over the city to make him "famous". But is this a good idea? In my opinion, it's not. Facebook itself is the biggest social network now and I think that by now everyone is extremely aware of who this man is. Going out that night to make him "famous" will cause a lot of problems. We can conclude that teens Under the age of 18 will want to take a part of this and these kids will be breaking the law by being out passed the legal curfew.  Along comes the issues of trespassing or vandalizing . This issue is very important and it should get addressed, but where is the money we are donating going to? Making these videos and paying their workers? I think that people should not trust just any guy that comes and makes a well-edited video.I think people should inform themselves better and look for other alternatives rather than donating to "invisible children".
