Joseph Kony 2012!
Joseph Kony, the name of a cruel man, who kidnaps a lot of children and does bad things. A name which became an issue. Have you ever heard of that name? If you haven't, I will tell you about him. Joseph Rao Kony is a leader of LRA. He makes innocent children as sex slaves or soldiers. He even forces them to kill their own parents!
Isn't he so bad? He does bad jobs just for his benefits. Fortunately, a group of people:The Invisible Children, is trying to stop him and catch him. The name of the project is Kony 2012. They are working hard to make Joseph Kony famous, so they could arrest him. It certainly is a good way, isn't it?
I am going to tell you why the 'Kony 2012' is an effective, good way to catch Joseph Kony. There are three reasons why it is good: It would be easier to catch him, it is right to let people know his cruelty, Kony 2012 has a huge chance of success, considering that previous contempts similar to Kony 2012 suceed. Of two rebuttals to the arguments of the opposition, the first is that there aren't any better ways, and making him as an infamous person is OK. Please, read carefully.
To begin with, it would be much easier to find him if we make him popular. 'Many' are better than 'one'. Humans grow stronger if they collaborate, and this is scientifically proven. If we all notice that Kony is a bad person and help the people who are trying to catch him, it would be easier to arrest Kony. It wouldn't take a lot of time! If no one knows Joseph Kony, we might fail to catch him even though he is right in front of us. But if we know him and his crimes, we could catch him! Therefore, it is important to make Joseph Kony famous if we want to catch him quickly.
In addition, it is right to make him popular. How would the victims of Kony feel if no one knows their suffering and only few people are trying to help them. They would feel much better if a lot of people understand them. They would feel safer, would also feel a little happier when other people become angry at Kony and try to protect them. Making him popular and being in the victim's side will be a big help to the invisible children, a group who is trying to help kidnapped children and victims of Kony.
Lastly, there are some examples that have shown the success by using the same way of Kony 2012 . For instance, (This wouldn't be a good example, but..) the group 'Invisible Children' has already tried to make Kony famous(a little bit). It gathered people, and finally made the president Obama send army to the Uganda! So I think this would be a very successful plan! Therefore, I think making him popular is an effective way.
Even though this is a nice way, some people disagree. So now, I will oppose the people who think the opposite. They would claim this: Making a criminal like Joseph Kony as a famous person in the world isn't a good idea. They would think that bad people becoming famous is a weird thing, and good people should be famous instead. On the other hand, I think it is a nice way if we make him famous as bad way. For example, the 'Invisible children ' are making a poster saying thing such as this 'Joseph Kony is the worst person ever lived in the Earth'! This would give a great impression and would interest people. It would help kidnapped Uganda children.
Plus, there aren't any better ways. The opposite side would say that there are many other ways such as just finding him without making his popular! Yes, that is one way. But will it be more effective than the way making him famous? Would many people donate money for 'Invisible Children' if Joseph Kony is not famous? I said in the second paragraph, that it would be easier if Kony becomes famous. Also the victims would feel worried and scared if only few people are helping them. More helps would make them safer!
In conclusion, the way of making Kony as famous is an effective and good way because it makes it easier to catch him, it is a right way, and it has a lot of possibility of success. Also, I rebutted the opposing side's opinion, by claiming that there aren't any better ways and it is okay to make him infamous. Everyone knows. WE MUST SAVE poor Uganda children. Let's try to help the 'Invisible children' . Let's tell the people about all the bad things that he has done to the children. ONLY WE can stop Joseph Kony.
