First of all, I was pretty mad when I first saw the video. How we didn't help right away to stop the slaughter and mutilation of countless children. even if we knew we left it be. Even if no one knew about it. they're young children that are killing people. If that happened here. Just one child, it would be everywhere on the news. But over there, over 30,000 children are going threw this. And we decide to broadcast a potato chip commercial. But I was pretty sad when I seen what they did to some kids faces. The just mutilated them. They are young children, they can't even live a normal life now because their face is scared. Now that I seen the full video I want to help and get my word out there so that other people know about it. The government needs to do more and the only way they will do more if people care. Kony needs to be stopped.  

Questions
1. A child soldier is a person under the age of 18 that takes part in an armed force or armed group.
2. They are used because they will do whatever you want because they are scared and they are easy to abduct, normally without a big fight.
3. It should be illegal because children will do everything because they are scared. They also shouldn't be used because they will be scared for life from all the people they have killed. Children aren't supposed to be using guns. If you use child soldiers you are ruining the next generation of people by making them violent and making them want to hurt others.

  • It causes physical and mental damage
  • They will loose their childhood
  • They will do anything because they are scared. So they will kill a lot of people.
  • You have to abduct the child to make them become child soldiers. (illegal)

It began because the gorvernement was bad so Kony said he'd step up and everyone believed him because they had no hope. But Kony just wanted power so he tried to start an army but no one wanted to so he started to kidnap young children.

The LRA is a large group of children that have been kidnapped that are forced to shoot their parents and kill people because they are too scared too run or look for help. They are fighting for Kony to gain power but what they want to fight for is their freedom.

They begin by someone wanting power or seaking revenge on something.


A) The Invisible Children created the video to inform people about what Kony is doing and to raise awareness around the world
B) The author is saying that he supports Kony 2012 but he doesn't like the company that runs it because they take most of the money for themselves and they give they only give a small amount to the actual problem. He is also mad because they are defending a group of soldiers that also rape and loot villages.
C) Social media developped this story because that's what this era revolves around so The Invisible Children created the video bewcause they know people would pay attention to it and more people would watch it and be aware of what's going on. So they started to use it more to educate people about what's going on.
D) They were accurate but it was a little bit too much. They used a lot of hyperbole and such so people would see that what's going on is really bad. I think it's a good way to contact people because everyone watches it so a lot of people will see the video and realize what's going on.
