Throughout history many people have been discriminated against. Many were discriminated on simply because of race and sex. Now discrimination stills happens today and not only because of sex and race but many other reasons. Just imagine being a kid with a red dot on your head. Imagine nobody wanting to play with you. Imagine other spreading rumors about you without knowing how you came to get the red dot. In today’s society those living with HIV are discriminated against in a similar way. Now if having the virus isn’t bad enough they also have to deal with stigma that comes along with the virus.

The one thing they had in common was the topic of HIV stigma and discrimination. Within both articles I was able to understand the correlation between HIV stigma and discrimination on those living with the virus. The differences that noticed between the articles was one was a study and the other was information given quoting other studies similar to the one I read about. I think that each paper has a valuable take away. For instance in the article written by Avert.org I feel that it gives you many tools that you can use in your everyday to help people living with HIV. I felt that this article gave out great information and could help educate the consumer on things they were unaware of. I think the consumer can benefit from the study results because they can see the data that backs up what the poplar article was saying. In reading bot tighter you get facts and the data to match. Which to me gives you the tools needed to go out and inform others which can help end stigma and discrimination for those living with HIV. The cons for the study was a lot of medical jargon was used so if someone isn’t very familiar with this topic already I would fear they might not follow it as well. On avert.org I felt that there was a lot of great tips given but it could have been better if they would have shown more ways I can help within my community. I felt that if they could have linked their information with actual

American political activist, author, and artist, Mary fisher, in her speech “A Whisper of AIDs,” presents the growing national epidemic known as HIV and AIDs, from a personal and national point of urgency, condemning the silence surrounding these viruses and calling all peoples to action in the fight against HIV and AIDs. Fisher first comes to her audience through emotion, establishing ethos from the moment she began speaking, connecting herself to the HIV community by stating that she is HIV positive, and like many of those listening to her that tonight she did not choose to be apart of the millions of infected. She presents evidence and logic against the idea that HIV and AIDs present bias against any one group of people by quoting the

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, it was still widely believed only minorities (including homosexuals and people of color) could be infected with the AIDS virus. Elizabeth Glaser makes it clear that race and sexuality have nothing to do with your risk of contracting AIDS. She also addresses the reality of America unfair against these minorities: “poor people, gay people, people of color”. Glaser uses parallel structure to emphasize that minorities are highly discriminated against in society and it needs to change. It also adds to the overall message that everyone is at risk for AIDS.

In the reading by Peter Redman, he raises the argument that the ‘AIDS carrier” becomes the central representation of the HIV epidemic and how the representations of HIV cannot be narrowed down to one cause. In addition, the ‘AIDS carrier’ is represented as monster and the carrier spreads HIV from the deviant subpopulations to the mainstream. Also, AIDS has been connected to social and moral issues and singles out groups like gay men, black people, and young single women. These groups are then viewed as diseased subpopulations and that causes others to feel disgust and panic. The heterosexual men are then afraid to have physical or emotional contact with men in general and that’s why boundaries of heterosexual masculinity were produced.

A range of aspects of life, such as education and employment, physical health, and interpersonal connections are affected by mental illness throughout the diagnosis, treatment and recovery stages, and often continue to affect beyond an individual’s recovery from mental illness. Although many effective mental health interventions are available, people often do not seek out the care they need. Stigma as defined by the Western Australian state government is “a mark of disgrace that sets a person apart” while self-stigma, as defined by the mental health organisation SANE Australia is “when we accept other people’s negative, inaccurate views of ourselves”. In the medical setting, negative stereotypes can mean that providers are more likely to focus

AIDS is the third leading killer of young adult Americans today. From the voice of one who knows the struggle all too well, political activist and author Mary Fisher, wrote the speech “A Whisper of AIDS”, presented at a Republican National Convention in 1992. In which she argues that AIDS should not identify a person, nor allow them to be hindered from experiences in their lives, which the Republican party can assist with. Fisher adopts a serious, compassionate tone in order to appeal to those infected with AIDS and their families. Fisher effectively convinces her audience that AIDS does not define a person and that these people deserve protection from society through the use of metaphors, meaningless words, emotional appeals and statistics.

Many parents have always used rewards such as money as a way to incentivize their children to do well in school, but recently some schools have been making programs that pay students standard. Some people think that using cash as motivation for schooling is wrong and would only create more problems; however studies have shown that this is not the case for a vast majority of the situations tested. Students should earn money for exceptional grades because it would improve overall student work ethic/morale, decrease the amount of missing/late assignments, and increase the number of students who do well on standardized tests. Students should be paid for their hard work because it would make the majority of them both happier and more eager to do their assignments.

Introduction It was difficult to make the decision to be public about having a severe psychiatric illness, but privacy and reticence can kill. The problem with mental illness is that so many who have it especially those in a position to change public attitudes, such as doctors, lawyers, politicians, and military officers are reluctant to risk talking about mental illness, or seeking help for it. They are understandably frightened about professional and personal reprisals. Stigma is of Greek word of the same spelling meaning "mark, puncture," came into English through Latin Stigma is it is commonly used today to describe the negative feelings and stereotypical thoughts, and attitudes about people based on the traits of a person, which can
