Hello, ladies and gentlemen? I am Miss Cat, logged into her blog again to write her second assignment. I hope that you all will find my second assignment interesting!!
Today, in my essay, I want to mention a very serious topic. To start with, let me ask you a question. Have you ever heard of Kony 2012? Have you ever heard of Jopseph Kony? If you are shaking your head 'NO' at the computer, stop it before someone thinks you are mad and please scroll down concentrating in my essay to find out more about one of the world's worst criminals, Joseph Kony.
The topic of this essay today is "Is it right to make a criminal like Kony famous by using movie clips such as "Kony 2012?". My answer to this topic is...YES.
I will first introduce what "Kony 2012" is, and who Joseph Kony is.
Did you see that picture? That is Joseph Kony. He is from Uganda, Africa. He is the leader of a group called L.R.A, the symbol of Lord's Resistant Army. Yes. Making an army that stands against the government might be illegal. However, today, I want to emphasize an even bigger and worse crime Kony has commited. He has taken away people's freedom, and even more, lives. Who were the victims? The victims were innocent Ugandan children. What did Kony make them do? He forced Ugandan children to become a part of the L.R.A. He forced them to grab a gun and kill their parents and all the people that stands in front of the L.R.A.
Kony 2012 is a short movie clip that tells you what Kony has been doing to the Ugandan kids and the Ugandan society. It's maker knows a kid named Jacob, who is a victim of Joseph Kony's crimes. The L.R.A chopped off his brother's neck in front of him, and made Jacob himself a member of the L.R.A youth army. He was running for his life. The maker made the video and got donations to make Kony famous and to stop his evil crimes that makes him deserved to get hanged in the public.
Now, here are my reasons why I argue that making a video like Kony 2012 to make a criminal like Kony famous is a right thing to do.
First, people should know the criminal in order to stop him. Joseph Kony is a criminal that must be stopped, and stopped as fast as we can. In order to do so, people should know how brutal his crimes are. The maker of this video did his best to fulfil that needs. We shouldn't blame him for wanting to catch Joseph Kony.
Second, the blame of the criticism is that the video was taken in 2003, and that Joseph Kony is not in his acton these days. However, how can you say that he will never start acting again? No one can prove that. I think this video is just a warning to the world to protect the Ugandan children from Joseph Kony.
Do you understand what is happening to the Ugandan children? Kony is threatening their lives to be against the Ugandan government. I do not think it isn't a thing to think deeply about whether or not we should make him famous. the word has a right and a reason to know what is happening in the other part of the world.
Joseph Kony has to be stopped, and tat is for sure. On December 31st, you can be the force to stop Joseph Kony.
Here is the blog URL for Invisible Children, which is the organization that tries to stop Kony. Visit the blog, and you will know why I think that making Kony 2012 to make Kony famous is a right thing.
I truly believe that making Kony famous by Kony 2012 is a rightful thing. This is a thing that is worth being a part of.
Thank you for reading, ladies and gentlemen!!!
This is a good argumentative essay. Remember to also include the opposing opinion and rebute it.
ReplyDeleteThe introduction is very good. You give some good agruments. Try to improve on your conclusion. It is too short and needs more details.
Good luck!
