Ive learned that leaders in many nations of the world face complex problems that they feel cant be solved without international action or cooperation.

There are many issues in the world. In our history class, we discussed and watched a movie called Invisible Children. This is a great movie in order for people to see what is really going on in Uganda. Children are being abducted so they can join this army called L.R.A (Lord's Resistance Army), which is led by Joseph Kony. The kids grow up holding guns and knives and killing people. Kids know that there is a chance that they can be abducted in the night, so they sleep together in a room hiding. They do not feel safe at home because they know that people in the woods will take them. The problem is that the Uganda government is not getting enough help to find Joseph Kony in order to stop this army of children. They are using former L.R.A soldiers to track Kony in order to find him. This is not a bad idea, but the problem is that they have been searching for a while and no problem has been solves. There are still kids being abducted. The government of Uganda needs help internationally to fix this problem. I think other country's soldiers might be of some help. Anyone can recognize that this is a problem in the world and that nothing has been solved, so why isn't anyone else chipping in to help? Uganda needs help. We just need other countries to realize that they would be helpful.
