Short Critical Summary

HIV and AIDS are spreading too fast for some countries to handle. throughout my posts, there is a common theme of too many people becoming infected and too many risks that cause the spread of the virus. It seems that for all the spread of the disease and virus, little is being done to fight and stop the spread. A cure seems far from reach and while there are many organizations and countries are fighting hard against the virus and its spread but it seems that the global response and even local response is not what it should be. In Africa, the virus is a pandemic, and some of the governments are trying hard to fight it any way they can but others are still acting with ignorance and saying that the spread is not caused the way that it acutally is. AIDS has proven to be a huge problem in poorer countries and it is spreading to other countries other than just those in Africa. In my blog i wrote about how the virus has krept into the streets of Iraq and Khazkstan. In some African countries 1 in every 3 men are said to have AIDS or HIV, while AIDS prevention organizations refuse to sell condoms and believe that abstence works better. Of course it works better but it is not realistic. This is the problem, the actual problem is far worse than the response. Condoms and circumcision are two proven ways to help cut the risk of the spread, but the people that are "helping" in the fight are doing it the way they want to and not the way that will get the most results.
I believe that if a global realization and response is not taken then the countries that are plagued with the virus are doomed to fall into a even lower state of health and living. I also believe that because of the negligence in most countries in the world, the virus will spread and become a big problem to even the strongest countries in the world. I am saying that this could become a problem for the entire world, for anyone who has sex or is born. Something really needs to be done otherwise it will just get worse and spread, like a disease in the body, to the rest of the world. Precautions must be taken or we may all be doomed, or atleast our children or their children.
The commenting process did not seem to helpful. The commenter either agreed or disagreed with me, but my topic was AIDS so the comments did not get to controversial because everyone seemed to agree that it is a problem and it is terrible. To be honest I thought the comment were a bit of a waste of time because no real conversations were really started amongst my group no matter how hard we tried. People didn't even start commenting until the last day anyways so it ended up just being another hoop to jump through for a grade. But, because i had to read other blogs I did learn a thing or two about Darfur and the Iraq War which did help my understanding of what was going on in class a bit better.
