theme 2- argumentative essay


  Yes, Kony kidnaps young children and force them to kill their parents. And I do think that this should be stopped. But here's the real problem. 
       First of all, African people think that Kony isn't the real problem. There are more problems in Africa. Some people think that we should focus on other problems rather than Kony. And I agree with them. Even though this Kony 2012 video is pretty convincing, I think Jason Russell is exaggerating too much. Do you think that this vidio is 100% true? In the video, he shows a boy who saw his brother having his neck cut in front of other people. But when I researched about Africa's problems, there were more serious problems such as Libya crisis, and even food crisis. I think U.S should focus more on the other problems rather than Kony. - Look at http://www.globalissues.org/issue/83/conflicts-in-africa
And do you know what this video is asking you to do mostly? They require MONEY. There will be thousands of people donating some money. And it will be thousands of dollars if we add them. Jason Russell says that they will need some money in order to catch Kony. But WOULD he use all those money? I think Jason Russell's company post this video in You Tube to earn some profit through them. In addition, Jason Russell keeps  saying that U.S should send more army to Africa to catch Kony. But nobody knows where Joseph Kony is - He might not even be in Africa right now, or if he is dead or alive. So I think people should think about all this facts before they decide to join the campaign.
