KONY2012

     Do you know KONY 2012? Many people would know about KONY 2012. Joseph Kony is a bad guy in Uganda. He is a worst criminal chosen by ICC. He is a leader of LRA, Lord's Resistance Army. He kidnaps children and he makes boys to kill their parents girl to be comfort women. But 99% of the people in the world don’t know who Joseph Kony is. So 3 students went to Uganda in 2003. And they met Jacob who was kidnapped by Kony. Jacob wanted to die. So they made a film and they made the 'Invisible Children'. KONY 2012 on YouTube, so many people in the world watched that. Someone say that making criminals become famous is not good. But it is good. 

      Primarily, we need more attention. For example, we cannot know about Dokdo when the media doesn't tell us. Now all Koreans know about Dokdo and we work hard to protect Dokdo. But what if we didn't know about Dokdo well, it could be a Japanese territory. So we need the attention from others. For example, there was a criminal who kidnapped children in city. And police showed the name and his picture to citizens who lived nearby the accident place because citizens have to protect themselves from criminals. And get away from the criminal. It is important. When all people know about him, they will protect themselves or get away.

      Moreover, we can arrest faster when people cooperate. Let's think about that all the people in the world know about KONY 2012. They would tell where Kony is because he cannot escape to the area where there is no human. For example, in Japanese colonial era, Japanese police let people know about Kim Koo who was the criminal at Japanese sight. And he arrested fast. Like this, we should let many people know about criminals. 

      Last but not least, politicians will help to arrest criminals. Like KONY 2012, it becomes famous and government and politicians concentrated on those things. And they sent an army to Uganda. So the club 'Invisible Children' is working easier with an army. And the army is finding Joseph Kony, too. They are helping them because the government ordered to do that. 

      But there is an opposite side. They are saying that 'Criminals can escape in hard place to find. First action of criminals is to escape or hide. But if that video or information has gone to all over the world, every people would know about it. Then they cannot find a safe place to hide themselves. So we should make criminals become famous. 

      I strongly agree that we should make criminals famous. There are three reasons; more attention is needed, arrest them faster, and politicians' help. And I think Kony should be arrested because he did so many bad things to children. He should be punished and the children should escape from him. Making him famous is the best way to arrest him and guarantee children's safety.
