    One solution is for health counselors being widely available for people who are struggling with AIDS. In addition, schools must also educate their students about AIDS, while being mindful of the students who have AIDS. Another solution to address the stigma of the AIDS epidemic on an institutional level is by having high-profile personalities such as Magic Johnson, being an advocate of AIDS, because this may lessen the stigma of AIDS in lower-SES communities and allow people relate and feel more comfortable speaking up about AIDS. With that said, the United States must improve their health-care system by investing more money on health centers and clinics in low-SES neighborhoods, but also health-care providing equal and fair medical treatment and resources that people of high-SES backgrounds are receiving.

It does not ask whether you are black or white, male or female, gay or straight, young or old. “ Her reasoning is both convincing and all inclusive.

  • For Goodness Sex Ventacchio Summary

    1412 Words  | 6 Pages

    For Goodness Sex, by Al Vernacchio, is a welcome relief from the two previous books; Girls & Sex and Man Interrupted, as the focus is about sexuality as a whole; gender, sexual orientation, etc., rather than on the culture of females and males. In a chapter titled “Gender Myths,” Vernacchio (2014) asks the question, “male and female, is that all there is” (Vernacchio, A., p. 112, 2014)? In teaching his class on Sexuality and Society, Vernacchio asks these questions and questions similar, demonstrating that he takes into consideration that there are feelings at stake and keeps in mind the human aspect of sex and sexuality as he is intentionally behind challenging students to foresee and develop their sense of values about sex, instead of constantly being “in the moment.”
