The 's Resistance Army By Joseph Kony

Throughout history, the power of communication has been capricious. Lauren Tarshis, the author of “The Pigeon Hero of World War I” and Kristin Lewis, the author of “The Boys Who Fought the Nazis” both emphasize the importance of communication by explaining the perilous and game-changing challenges and solutions of communicating during wartime. In WWI and WWII there was a lack of communication throughout the world, especially on battlefields, concentration camps, and lands conquered by the Nazis. On page 6, of “The Pigeon Hero of World War One”, Lauren Tarshis writes, “There were no walkie-talkies or cell phones in 1918, no computers to send emails, and the army radios weren't working.” When they were at war they were basically cut off from the rest of the world.

To the United States, World War II is believed to be a good war, and why wouldn’t it be considered as such? During World War II, in addition to stopping mass genocide and stopping the spread of Nazism and Fascism, the United States beat Japan after their attack on Pearl Harbor. As a result, the U.S. was no longer in the Depression and the United States became a world power. However, in “The Best War Ever,” Michael C.C. Adams argues that as a result of Hollywood’s glamorization of the war, government propaganda/censorship, and the widespread of economic prosperity, Americans were kept in the dark about the truth regarding World War II resulting in the popular belief and myth that World War II was a good war.

It describes the actions he and his army have done, including forced recruitment of child soldiers, and the attacks on the innocent villages and people.

It was really just an experiment, they did not know if an online video could actually raise awareness and help bring the world together to stop Joseph Kony.

"Battleground America," written by Jill Lepore, provides a strong history of guns and the way they have changed in the eyes of the American through the years. She proves her point with strong evidence throughout her article, sprinkling it with opinion and argument that is strongly supported. She presents her argument to convince her audience that the open availability of guns allows citizens to undeservingly purchase them by displaying the credibility in her sources, using negative connotations in her speech, and the strength and objectivity only a strong logos appeal can provide.

The majority of Africans religion is Christianity or Islam. African people often combine the practice of their traditional belief with the practice of Abrahamic religions. Abrahamic religions are widespread throughout Africa. Many African’s whose religion is Islam or Christianity are involved in traditional religions.

The Forever War by Joe Haldeman is a classic work of military science fiction depicting a war between the human race and an unfamiliar alien entity known as the Taurans. The overall plot line follows a fairly typical path, but Haldeman’s real genius is realized through the interactions that take place between the protagonist, William Mandella, and the Earth he returns to between military operations. Developing beneath the ever-present war of the two species lies a much subtler conflict between generations of human thought and culture. Brought about by the way troops are transported in space, time dilation creates an interesting dichotomy between the early soldiers of the war and the rapid evolution of human society and culture remaining on Earth. The Forever War questions the stability of human nature by creating a scenario where its fluidity is exposed through an invariable link to time. The expression of human nature changes as cultural and personal identities adapt to new situations; viewing these changes through Mandella, we begin to see how different expressions of human nature can impact human nature itself.

The Kony 2012 video viewed by nearly 100 million people stunned the world and brought back into focus the egregious use of children as combatants. The blatant terror and savagery taking place in a moral vacuum of sorts, where thousands of children are maimed, raped, killed and abused is a microcosm of a problem afflicting many parts of the world. It even spurred some U.S. Senators to act upon the decades of crimes against humanity committed by the notorious Lord’s Resistance Army in Northern

The basic fundamentals and principles of life are often implemented and learnt in the family. However, in order to teach the children ethics and proper etiquette, mutual respect, understanding and obedience has to exist within the family. In Chaim Potok’s classic book The Chosen, the daily challenges and learning processes of family life are skillfully expressed. Two families, the Malter and Saunders households, depict two families of different status, religious sect and religious principles. Nonetheless, these two households display similar practices of mutual respect, consideration and obedience in regards to the children.

The Lord’s Resistance Army, or the LRA, is Africa’s most violent armed group and also the oldest. Joseph Kony formed the LRA in 1986 in northern Uganda, to fight against the Ugandan Government. At the height of the conflict, about two million people were displaced in northern Uganda. Since the LRA never gained public support, they turned to forcible recruitment to build up their army (“The Lord’s Resistance Army”). Kony, and the LRA believe that Uganda should be governed and run based on the 10 Commandments. They rely on the application of terror in order to keep their campaign alive. The war in Uganda being

The rally around “Stop Kony” created an opportunity for a lone organization to inform the world of the fear and danger Joseph Kony had inflicted upon the people of Uganda. Unfortunately, Kony had not been captured by the conclusion of the campaign; however, the organization was influential

Over 1.8 million people in Northern Uganda have been displaced, in fear of attacks from the Lord’s Resistance Army, into internally displaced people’s camps. This extremist group has been causing havoc in Northern Uganda by ransacking villages, kidnapping children, and brutally killing innocent people. Their violent acts are fueled by their radical religious beliefs. The notorious Joseph Kony founded the Lord’s Resistance Army, also know as LRA, in 1986, with the intentions of creating a new government based on the Ten Commandments. Since 1986, he has created a powerful army of almost 3,000 soldiers, most of them who are children. They specifically target the Acholi people, an ethnic tribe located in Northern Uganda and some parts of Sudan.

The country of Uganda is a very dangerous place where many civilians are killed daily and children are abducted and taken as child soldiers. There are many groups that rebel against the Ugandan government one that is very well known is The Lord’s Resistance Army. The Lord’s Resistance group of rebels in Uganda that claimed that the holy spirit has ordered them to overthrow the ugandan government. The most recent known leader of this group goes by the name of Joseph Kony. Kony has kidnapped over 30,000 children to strengthen his army, forcing the boys to become soldiers and the girls to become sex slaves. This group capture those who can be useful to them, including children strong enough to carry weapons. The captives are tied together and marched to camps where they are violently indoctrinated and turned into soldiers, cooks, or sex slaves. Captives are often forced to

In over twenty-five countries, many children are abducted and beaten into submission to be used in real life wars. A very famous viral video called “Kony 2012” was trying to get people to help catch the Ugandan warlord Joseph Kony, who has kidnapped thousands of children over the past twenty years. Child soldiers are defined as: children under the age of 18 who are recruited by state or non-state armed groups and used as fighters, cooks, suicide bombers, human shields, messengers, spies, or even for sexual purposes.

In today’s day and age, children from all over the world are real soldiers in conflicts instead of playing toy soldiers. These children are being denied their childhood and instead are given a violent and gruesome role to play in brutal conflicts. These children are fighting wars that they had no responsibility in creating. Children are fighting in wars created by their elders. Children are replacing their toys with guns, like AK-47’s and instead of having a chance to attend

The Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) is a rebel group that abducts children to use as fighters and sex slaves; it attacks schools, hospitals, and communities in Uganda, South Sudan, Central African Republic, and DRC. Invisible Children is an organization that protects children who are in danger of the LRA in central Africa. It has created the LRA Crisis Tracker to locate and broadcast the LRA’s attacks. Also, they use Early Warning Network radios that allow DRC and Central African Republic communities to notify others of LRA attacks. Throughout the years, Invisible Children has convinced many LRA members to surrender by giving them instructions to safe reporting sites. It established Community Defection Committees to heal victims of the LRA, such as child soldiers. With the help of NGOs and programs that ensure security and children’s rights, humankind can end the recruitment of child soldiers. These solutions should be introduced to more vulnerable communities to prevent disaster and preserve the safety of
