Kony 2012

What is your opinion about the invisible children's campaign?

The idea of making Kony famous, making sure people know who he is and what he’s doing, I think is great. I now know that the Invisible Children-campain has things I don’t really agree with, but I still think that you should spread the word and make Kony ”famous”. I think that people need to know about him, and that you don’t hear so often about what’s happening in Africa here in Europe. 

All the criticism about the Invisible Children campaign has made me unsure about what I should think. Just a few days ago i trusted everything Invisible Children said, but that was because I only got their side of the story.

What do you know about the LRA? If nothing, find out some facts and write them down. Write down where you got the facts from.

I’m not sure if what I know is all real, because everything I know is basically from the ”Kony 2012” video... And I don’t know how much of that video I can really trust anymore. But what I know is that the LRA is a rebel group, led by Joseph Kony. The LRA abducts children and forces them to become soldiers and, well, kill their families. I don’t really know why Kony does this, but I suppose it’s just because of the power. Power can really drive some people crazy.

How do you know whom to trust in TV and media?

I have no idea... It can be really hard to know who to trust. I guess you have to decide on your own in someway. Think about it, does this really feel right or made up?

Have you trusted this person before, or is he/she all new for you? If you trusted someone before and they told the truth, you should probably trust in them again. But if it’s the first time you hear something from someone, it’s hard to decide if you should trust them or not. Just... See if there is anyone else saying the same thing...

Toodles! :D
