Kony 2012 - People Power???

POWER and AUTHORITY: Two key concepts in the Society and Culture course. The Kony 2012 campaign and 'craze' shows big changes in who has power and who influences authority.
A few things to consider:

- Does Kony have power or authority? - or neither? - or both?
- If so, WHY does Kony have power?
- Do Governments (African countries governments, American government, Australian government... and more!) have any power or authority over Kony?
- What sort of power and/or authority does the public have? In Uganda/Africa, in the USA, in Australia, around the world?
- How has the balance of power and authority changed over the last month? To who, from who?
- How has technology influenced this? Do Social Networking sites have any power or authority?

I could go on....

- If the public does have some power - then that includes you... do you feel in a position of power? Do you WANT that power?!!!
