AIDS
Unprotected sex, dirty needles,pills!!
Now that I have your attention, today I’ll be talking to you about the causes and effects on how you can contract this deadly virus.
But first let me start by explaining what Aids/HIV really is and what it does to you once you have contracted the Aids virus. Aids/Aids lowers your immune systems ability to produce the white blood cells and antibodies that protect you from colds, infections, etc. Lowered immunity makes a person vulnerable to attacks from different types of viruses. Such as simple colds, fungi, bacteria may lead to infectious diseases and tumors. Eventually these illnesses may cause death. A simple cold can become deadly to a person who’s infected with the Aids virus.
There are many ways you can contract this deadly virus. One is by drug use and the second is having unprotected sex. You can contract Aids by using someone else’s contaminated needle during drug use. If the needle your using is a dirty needle that someone else used and had Aids you easily contract Aids from them. Due to the blood that’s left in the needle or on the needle from the other person. The second way you can contract the Aids virus is by having unprotected sex or through oral sex. Infection of the virus can occur through anal or vaginal intercourse or oral genital sex with an infected partner. The virus is present in semen and vaginal secretions of an infected person. It enters your body through small tears that can develop in vaginal or rectal tissues during sexual activity. Unsafe sex not only pertains to adults but also to kids and teenagers of all ages. Its doesn’t matter how old or young you are, you can contract Aids at any age.
There are many effects of this deadly virus. Aids causes sickness weakness of the body and in most cases death. The body gets weaker and isn’t be able to function properly because there aren’t enough white blood cells to fight the virus due to the Aids virus. Department of Health and Human Services report that over 1 million people between the ages of 20-39 will be infected wit Aids by the year 2000. The number of ages will drastically increase with deaths in all age groups reaching 70,000 per year. By the year 2005, 350 people a day will die from the virus.
Many people believe that the medicines we have today can cure the Aids virus or stop it from spreading.
There was a big change in 1963 when the landmark case Gideon v. Wainwright transformed the way state courts applied the right to counsel to indigent defend...
The industrial cities that spawned during and after the birth of the Industrial Revolution were very different from the cities that existed before to the revolution. Prior to the Industrial Revolution, cities were a market where trade goods could be bought and sold. Trappers and hunters would come into towns to sell their goods to shoppers who were eager to obtain these items. Blacksmiths and barbershops, saloons and banks, farmers and stable masters were typically the primary typical businesspersons within a typical pre-industrial revolution city. The traditional American city went through many drastic changes in a short period of time during the Industrial Revolution, and would never be the same. Some may claim that American cities during the Industrial Revolution were suffering due to the sudden growth that they were experiencing. Although American cities were in fact riddled with problems during the Industrial Revolution, the innovations to solve these problems would change the shape of America forever, for the better.
The National Advisory Commission on Criminal Justice Standards and Goals set a limit that each criminal defense attorney can take 150 felony cases per year, but “caseloads of 500, 600, 800, or more are common” (“Five Problems”). With that, criminal defense attorneys are forced to triage or reject cases, leaving potential clients to go to court without representation. If the defendant does have a public attorney, their defense is unprepared and vulnerable to make mistakes when working out a reasonable sentence. In one of his cases, Jones and his client accepted a deal with the prosecution for a three year sentence for stealing locks. Upon further investigation, the prosecution discovered that they made a mistake in calculating the minimum sentence – Jones’s client should have only served “366 days,” but it was already too late (Eckholm).
Chronicle of a Death Foretold is set in the South American country of Colombia. Gabriel García Márquez was born in Colombia in 1927, and García Márquez often incorporates his home country as the background for many of his novels and short stories. As the plot of Chronicle of a Death Foretold unfolds, it becomes clear that the inclusion of Colombian culture in the novel is a principal method to showcase the central theme of honor. Machismo, the masculine ideal, and marianismo, the feminine ideal, are described within Colombian culture. Following the ideals of machismo and marianismo are a clear-cut method for showing honor. A man with “machismo” is characterized by having strength, dominance, and virility. The two characters within Chronicle of a Death Foretold that are the most clear examples of machismo are Bayardo San Román, Angela Vicario’s fiancée, and Santiago Nasar.
Throughout the world, there are many different cultures, most of which have evolved over time. One of an author’s jobs is to capture the culture of the novel’s setting, and allow the readers to experience it. Gabriel Garcia Marquez does an excellent job of recreating Colombia’s culture in his novel Chronicle of a Death Foretold by using each of his characters to portray one aspect of the culture.
Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is a chronic, potentially life-threatening condition caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). AIDS weakens the immune system hampering the body’s defense mechanisms. AIDS is known to be a deadly disease, especially if it is not treated in a timely manner. AIDS and HIV is an epidemic that is increasing among the African American population with roots tracing back to Africa, AIDS and HIV needs greater exposure and more awareness within the African American community and in the homosexual community.
García Márquez utilizes his signature style of writing, magic realism, to create works of literatures that magical realism conveys a reality that incorporates the magic that superstition and religion infuse into the world. sparknotes
One of the essential, yet often ignored aspect of the criminal justice system, is the criminal defense attorney. Criminal defense attorneys are essential because, under the Constitution, everyone accused of a crime has the right to an attorney to help them in their case. Moreover, the Supreme Court has determined that this right to an attorney in a criminal case is so fundamental to the American system of justice, that even in those circumstances where a defendant cannot afford his or her own attorney, the state, shall provide an attorney to them free of charge (Gideon v. Wainwright, 1963). As the Court stated in Gideon, a criminal defendant, “requires the guiding hand of counsel at every step in the proceedings against him, without it, though he be not guilty, he face the danger of conviction because he does not know how to establish his innocence” (Gideon v. Wainwright, 1963). Finally, criminal defense attorneys are essential because they are necessary to the effective working of the American adversarial system of law.
Angela Vicario’s actions tested everyones honor in Gabriel García Márquez’s Chronicle of a Death Foretold. Once shame was brought onto the Vicario family, it was Pedro and Pablo’s obligation to restore their good name. Honor proves itself to be a strong value in this community verified by Santiago Nasar’s death. Because of the power that honor is given, Santiago’s death was inevitable.
Characters are made to present certain ideas that the author believes in. In Gabriel García Márquez’s Chronicle of a Death Foretold there are many characters included that range from bold, boisterous characters to minuscule, quiet characters but one thing they all have in common is that they all represent ideas. Characters in the novel convey aspects of Marquez’s Colombian culture.
Wainwright also hindered federalism because it gave more rights to the individual people rather than the state government. After the Gideon v. Wainwright decision, Tobias Simon, a lawyer from the Florida Civil Liberties Union that offered to represent Gideon the second time the case was tried, reflected on the fact that “‘in the future, the name “Gideon” will stand for the great principle that the poor are entitled to the same type of justice as are those who are able to afford counsel’” (Lewis 239). Rather than before where the states decided what an accused person’s fate is when deciding if he or she should have a counsel, the power is shifted to the individual: it is his or her decision if he or she wants a lawyer. Furthermore, it is guaranteed to every individual, regardless of identity. Because “the poorest and least powerful of men--a convict with not even a friend to visit him in prison-- can take his cause to the highest court in the land and bring about a fundamental change in the law”, the state courts’ authority to determine right from wrong is diminished because any individual can fight it by bringing it to the Supreme Court’s attention, just like Clarence Earl Gideon did (Lewis 218). Every individual now has the power to address a problem created by the courts and the power to determine if they want a lawyer to help them, which, in turn,
It has been 50 years since the Gideon v. Wainwright case. From a drifter, to a petty criminal, to the Supreme Court, Gideon opened doors for the poor man in the system. Because of this case, indigent defendants have access to legal counsel (public defenders), if they prove they cannot afford an attorney on their own.

The woman trapped in the wall paper symbolizes the narrator who is trapped in a marriage from which she cannot escape. To show there is no means for self-expression as a woman, Gilman writes, and “I don’t like our room a bit. I wanted one downstairs that opened on the piazza and had roses all over window, and such pretty old fashioned chintz hangings! But John would not hear of it”. It is obvious that women’s opinions and feelings were merely regarded by their husbands. From this “The Yellow Wall Paper”, I also see the author’s expert manipulation of narrative viewpoint through using irony, and symbolism to give the reader an make-believe view of how women had to struggle to live their lives in accordance to men through passive natures, compliant attitudes, and horrified
Most people recently infected by the AIDS virus look and feel healthy. They may not show symptoms for several years, but the condition is eventually fatal. Even though one might not know that they have this deathly disease, and remain apparently healthy, they can still pass it along to others, and they then pass it on to others, etc, until an abundant amount of people are infected. Symptoms may include fever, fatigue, weight loss, skin rashes, a fungal infection of the mouth known as thrush, lack of resistance to infection, and swollen lymph nodes. HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, is transmitted through blood, semen, and vaginal fluid. The virus is usually transferred through sexual intercourse, the transfusion of virus-contaminated blood, or the sharing of HIV-contaminated intravenous needles. HIV cannot penetrate intact bodily surfaces, such as skin, and quickly perishes outside the human body. Consequently, AIDS is not spread by casual physical contact.
