* After reading the speech of “1992 Republican National Convention Address: A Whisper of AIDS” by May Fisher (1992) I could not find any bias that was in May Fisher’s speech. I have found two different types of fallacies within May Fisher’s speech such as scapegoating and scare tactics. In the beginning of Fisher’s speech she uses scapegoating she puts to blame of the Republican Party for the silence of AIDS. “Less than three months ago at platform hearings in Salt Lake City, I asked the Republican Party to lift the shroud of silence which has been draped over the issue of HIV and AIDS.” In the second paragraph of her speech you see that she uses the scare tactics she is telling us that the disease is winning. “But despite science and research, White House meetings, and congressional hearings, despite good intentions and bold initiatives, campaign slogans, and hopeful promises, it is -- despite it all -- the epidemic which is winning tonight.” The rhetorical devices that is used in Fisher’s speech is metaphor, she gives the disease AIDS human features.
In the late 1960’s, Jean Kilbourne began her investigation of the connection between advertising and several public health issues, including violence against women, eating disorders, and addictions. This has launched a movement to promote media literacy as a way to avert these problems. In the documentary being exposed to nearly 1500 ads on a daily basis, it is evident that all the ads are not being watched however they do manage to make it to the back of our heads. So even if we do not pay close attention to what the ad is saying, if the product that was being advertised comes in front of us we still manage to remember that we had seen the product advertisement earlier. Advertising and the whole media in general can basically run this entire world.
Truth behind the Pink Ribbon “What is with these pink ribbons and everything?” - Barbara Ehrenreich The documentary Pink Ribbons, Inc. takes a look behind the scenes of the pink ribbon campaigns by first off showing how devastating Breast Cancer is and how it affects millions of people and then shows how the pink ribbon campaigns work, how money is raised, and even questions where the money goes. Lea Pool uses many different approaches and opinions of a large variety of people to show how the campaign may not be as affective as it is shown to be, and questions what the pink ribbon actually does. Pool shows the pink ribbon as just a way to pretty up an ugly disease. Pool attempts to make a point to an audience of men and women who have been a victim of breast cancer and are now survivors, friends and family members of these men and women, and the companies who sponsor the breast cancer cause by using pink for advertisement. The sole purpose of the Pink Ribbon, inc. documentary is to tell about the pink ribbon campaigns and what effect is has on the breast cancer community.
Similarly, the use of scare tactics, such as pictures of overdoses, has failed to bring about reductions in drug use. Instead, an alternative approach is to encourage harm minimisation. This approach accepts that people will engage in risky behaviour and tries to reduce the health risks by encouraging users to take the drug safely. For example, the provision of needle exchanges means that addicts do not share injecting equipment; this dramatically reduces the risk of getting blood infections such as hepatitis or HIV and AIDS. Another way of reducing the potential harm to intravenous drug users is to provide medically controlled drugs as a substitute for street drugs.
Tearing apart a family does not mean arguing or having an affair, but it could also mean question and not finding the answers. This shows how AIDS is a destructive disease that not only harms the victims, but also their families. * She stood up and fought for Esther, this shows that Chanda loved her friends a lot. She has the will and braveness to make the decision of accepting her friend and to take the responsibility afterwards. This is an important point of
Evidence showed that she had several promotions while being employed and that her job performance were averages. The court did not hold the Paper Magic Group liable because the plaintiff could not provide adequate evidence of age discrimination. A case similar to ours, Goldmeier v. Allstate refers to constructive discharge regarding religious beliefs. The plaintiffs claim that Allstate violated their religious beliefs after the company announced that offices would remain open Friday evening and Saturday mornings (Goldmeier, 2003). Evidence showed that Allstate offered the plaintiff’s time to observe their holy day but they would have to work another day.
The testing is relatively inexpensive. If I tested positive for HSV 1 I would be upset but not generally concerned. I would still inform any partners I had of the virus being present. If I had HSV 2 I would invest in some sort of medication and conduct much more research to insure I did not transmit the disease. I would also avoid physical contact as much as possible and live a very private sexual lifestyle.
He is afraid of getting infected with the AIDS virus. _No, he cannot refuse to assist the patient. There are many state and federal antidiscrimination statutes to protect patients from being refused service because of their sex, race, gender, socioculture status, or health status. The only exception to this would
With the birth control pill the prevention level is high and this would be the most important factor in Linda’s situation. Although it is to prevent pregnancy, the birth control pill will not prevent Linda from contracting any sexually transmitted diseases so it would not hurt Linda to also have any and all of her sexual partners to use a condom. Along with using the birth control pill, Linda could use the combination of the condom and the spermicide to prevent both pregnancy and STDs. By combining these two methods, she would give herself a much higher level of prevention rate that the birth control pill does not
The most challenging part of controlling HIV is the traditional and new medication through public health facilities. Many health officials, HIV/AIDS advocates, medical professionals try to bring forward their best effort to help people with HIV/AIDS not to get discriminated against. Years later after so much discrimination, Congress had passed several Federal laws that will protect many individuals living with HIV/AIDS to stop discrimination and give them the same protection as everyone with a medical
