Kony:2012 Must be Famous

                                    <Kony:2012 Must be Famous>

  To start with, I will ask you a simple question:What would you do if your child disappears suddenly, or in other words was kidnapped? If you don't have a child, imagine that you lost something very important. What will you do? You might ask others if they had seen the child or the thing you are looking for, or even ask the police. But how would you feel if you suddenly realized that you can't get the thing or a person who was take away, back? You would be heartbroken or even go crazy. Well, you probably think that I am asking you a unnecessary question because this kind of situation is very rare. But, surprisingly, children in Uganda, Africa are being kidnapped every night, by a cruel organization named 'Lord Reserve Army', also known as 'LRA'. The kidnapped children become soldiers or a slave. Mournfully, even some of the children die a horrible death. The headmaster of LRA, 'Joseph Kony', continues to do such ruthless and awful things to the innocent children, even though he had promised the others that he would stop being a cruel criminal in 2008. A lot of children have suffered already, but we should try to save the children from the evil,or the insane man, Joseph Kony.

  A man named Jason Russell of USA was one of the people who made the organization 'Invisible Children' to stop Kony. He made a video about Kony's massacre of children, and this video was those videos you call as 'viral video'-the number of people who saw it went over 1 million. This video was called as 'Kony 2012', and this video explains us about Kony's crimes and how to solve it. Some people says we should not spread this video, but my opinion is different. We should pass this video onand on until everyone knows it. Moreover, children are our future. They are the ones who are going to lead the future world. Joseph Kony is forcing those hopeful children to be cruel and awful. He is making them to obey him like a god. He is not a dictator. He was not to be a ruler since he was born. This, is, wrong. Kony should be captured. His crimes shouldn't be forgived. We should make him famous and let the presidents and prime ministers of the world know how serious the situation is.

  How would your parents feel if you disappear one day? So sad and heartbreaking that you can't even describe it. And multiply that into billion times. Can you imagine that? Kony has kidnapped billion of children for his own wealth and power. The sorrow of the kidnapped children's parents would be amazingly big. Adding a bit more strength to capture Kony is our errand, at least to soothe the parents sorrow.

  People will say that making a criminal famous is wrong. "Barrak Obama could be famous because he is the president of the United States, But Kony, a criminal, being famous? That is not the correct thing to do", they will say. But people who said that, you better find the definition of 'famous' again. 'Famous' has the meaning for 'very well known', but also has the meaning for 'notorious', 'notorious' means infamous. Then, I guess word 'famous' suits Kony very well!
 
  The video Kony 2012 might have false things in it because Jason Russell made it to persuade others. Yes, that's right. But in all respects, they were trying to persuade us. We can't deny that. Some of the video could be exaggerated, but still, the exaggerated things are based on a fact.

  I strongly believe that the Kony 2012 video should be passed on and on so that Joseph Kony could be captured as soon as possible. Thank you for reading my argumentive essay. I hope you to add a bit more strength right now to capyure Kony! (If you want to see Kony 2012 video, click the link under this-the last one.)
