Discusssion #1 Media Experiences

I think the biggest thing that the media has invovled in reinforcing my existing worldviews or values, is lately the KONY 2012 video that has been sweeping the nation about the children in africa who are being used as child soldiers and being kidnapped by a man named Joseph Kony. The invisible children organization created a thrity minute viral video that moved millions of people. Making people around the world suddenly aware, and actually aware of some of the problems thats not currently happening to themselves right now. It made people take a second to get out of their own lives and start caring about others who really need it. This video had such a big effect on me, that I have become obsessed with helping kids in africa anyway i can, even as far as trying to move to Africa. The video literally brought me to tears but im happy that it did, because it sparked something in me, and like me, it has done the same for everyone else who watched it. Changing forever my world views, and values.
