KONY 2012

     Lately, there has been a lot of talk about a man named Joseph Kony. Unfortunately it is all too late. This man has stopped being a major concern in Uganda in the past four or five years.
     The video that was made by Invisible Children claims that people don't know who Kony is, but that is false. Many newspapers have written articles about Uganda, many of which are on the front page and about Kony.
     There have been so many people using incorrect information, and not tell the whole truth, that it is hard to create an educated opinion on the topic.
     Invisible Children has claimed to have made the public aware of Joseph Kony, and they state that they will help. On their website you can buy posters, brackets and t-shirts to help raise awareness for the cause. These things are not very cheap and the organization claims that the money raise will go to helping people evade Kony. A Kony 2012 bracelet alone, is $10.00. At the beginning most people assumed that almost all of the money would go towards helping the cause, unfortunately they were wrong. The majority of the money is actually kept by the Invisible Children foundation and only about 30% of the money raised is used to help.
     I find it very sad that this organization has convinced so many people that they are doing their best to help capture Kony. They have used false information, not told the whole truth, and worst of all they have kept the money that was to be used to capture Kony. I do not agree with the Invisible Children organization because of the way they are doing it. The cause is a great cause but they need to tell people the truth and not hide anything, because the truth always comes out.
