Kony 2012

The most famous viral video in the whole world; Kony 2012. As you see in the video, Kony 2012 is a campaign to catch Kony. Kony is the leader of the LRA and he abducts kids and use them in his own will. So, this person, who made this video, made a campaign called "Kony 2012". However, I think that the campaign is not really good.

Firstly, the campaign is running in a wrong way. It should be an anti-Kony campaign, but all the symbols and names looks like we are on Kony's side. The idea of doing a campaign for the Uganda children is very good, but just with the symbols and names, people can think that we should help Kony. I thought like that the first time I heard about him. I thought 'Kony 2012 with Kony's picture? It must be saving or helping a person called Kony.' I bet lots of people will think like that if they don't watch the video and just see the symbol of the campaign. It is a good thing to tell lots of people about Kony, but I think that it should be also mentioned that Kony is a bad person. I think that making the name as 'Catch Kony 2012' would be a much better than just 'Kony 2012'.

Secondly, the campaign is known too well. The video for the campaign is seen by lots of people, so it's not a sneaky attack. They are showing Kony widely that they are trying to catch and punish him. Kony is not stupid, right? He will just run away, regain power and do the same thing over and over again. To catch Kony, we should not be shown and take him by surprized. It should be a secret small plan.

Thirdly, the video was almost about the person's life. The person who made the video, had the story about his son and his life in the whole first part. I think that it starts too much of the story of his life. I think that it should have a little bit more about the campaign.

Even though it had some wrong parts, I think that the video is very good. It makes us sad, happy, angry and excited. I think that the name of the campaign should be changed and Kony should be caught and be punished about what they did to childrens.
