II.Cultural information
1. Quote
Ban Ki-Moon: Speaking at the "Light for Rights" on World AIDS Day held at the Washington Square Park Memorial Arch in New York, he said: "We are here tonight to denounce the discrimination they (people living with HIV/AIDS) face —the fear and stigma, the shame and rejection, the threat of losing their jobs ... For too long and in too many places, too many people have been pushed beyond the reach of prevention and treatment, care and support ... We must respond by shining the full light of human rights on the challenge ... I call on all countries to dismantle legal frameworks that institutionalize discrimination against people living with HIV and people are at most risk of infection."
2. AIDS:Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome
AIDS, a very serious illness which spreads very fast today, had been one of the most horrible killers of human beings.
AIDS is caused by HIV virus. Now in the world there is no useful medicine that can cure AIDS, but it spreads only in limited ways. AIDS spread in three basic ways: first, through sexual intercourse; second, through contact with diseased blood; and third from an HIV mother to baby. And people who are intravenous drug users may infect HIV virus too.
The actual patterns of spreading of the AIDS virus change from culture. People should do something to solve the problem and prevent the spreading of AIDS in the world. People can do something in these ways: first, a program should be established to educate citizens about AIDS, letting people know what causes it and how it spreads, so that people can know it clearly and prevent it easily, instead of being afraid of it; second, increase scientific technology to fight
against AIDS; third, make healthy and civilized social environment, so there will be less sexual intercourse actions, and less drug users.
Although AIDS is very horrible, we shouldn't fear, worry or have prejudices about it, we should confront it and fight against this devil.
