Hey I know that a lot of you have already watched the 30-minute "Kony 2012" video. If you haven't watch the video BEFORE reading this article and make your own opinion first. But here is an article written in the NYT about it. I personally think that this video has a strong message and bringing the word out is a very important thing, many don't agree with me. Here is the NYT article.
"Something changed with the Kony video. Watch the nearly 30-minute video, and you will note that so much of it is not about Mr. Kony, but about the viewer, especially the untapped power of the viewer."

I think this was a great article to post about the video. The video has sparked a lot of controversy but at the same time has really brought a realization to some of the problems happening because of Kony. I agree with Paula, the video does have a strong message and even thought people may disagree with what they think the video is saying at least they are being made aware, and have some kind of opinion.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Cate. I think that its important for people to try to spread awareness, despite the fact that many people can't agree on the overall message of the video.
