Author Topic: Going to gauge my schoolmates' knowledge on KONY2012  (Read 2254 times)

School starts today at my school since spring break just ended, and a bunch of kids plan to set up KONY2012 posters around the school.

I personally think that they are caught up in the hype and are becoming victims to really really effective propaganda, but I'm going to test it.

I set up a quiz with 9 questions about the LRA and Joseph Kony and how the insurgency occurred in Africa, and I plan to quiz people I see setting up posters and then I'll plot which questions people knew and which questions people did not.

I'll post the results for you guys to see after I get them today.

It's disgusting how widespread this "Charity" has become, when only 30% of the profit goes to uganda, there are many legit charities that deserve this kind of attention.

A lot of people believe spamming it in every comments section of any site will make them good people when they probably didn't care about uganda before.

Good luck on making that quiz, it'll be funny to see the results.

I hypothesize that maybe 65% of people will actually know what LRA stands for.

"Hello, could you please point out Uganda on this map please?"

this stuff again? uganda be kidding me

Only 1/2 of my school knows what KONY2012 is and only a small fraction of the ones who know what it is know much about it lol

I can't wait to see the results

this stuff again? uganda be kidding me
Terrible pun is terrible.


"Hello, could you please point out Uganda on this map please?"
I printed out an unlabeled map of Africa and I'll ask each person who is putting up a sign if they can point to Uganda on the map.

I don't know anything about this except he is a dictator in Africa (?) and that the guy who set this up was caught masturbating naked in an alley.

Are you raising awareness for it?

If not, there's nothing wrong with that.

What I'm trying to figure out is whether the same people who are raising awareness for Kony2012 actually know half a forget about what they are advocating for.

No :3

Meh, bandwagoning happens outside of the Internet. Most people nod to the last opinion they've heard.
