    I think that this is a good example of propaganda because it convinces the public to come together and help make Kony visible. It is showing an example of what he makes the little kids do with the picture of the gun in the little boys hands.

    I found this piece to be somewhere in the middle of beneficial and harmful. I feel as though the image of a child with a gun is very powerful but it can be perceived in two ways. On one hand, people may see it to be disturbing and find the red font to be morbid and unappealing- seen as insensitive. On the contrary, some people may see the child and find it to be a powerful image that captures attention through "keeping it real" and "not covering anything up".
