AIDS

Daum's point in her article about AIDS education is a really good point. She says "a corrosion of the soul,a chronic dishonesty,and a fear of themselves that will...do more damage then the disease itself." This is true because everyone is afraid of getting AIDS and nobody wants to give people AIDS. It affects your attitude in the face that your always scared of getting the disease. It makes you ask questions and have a general dishonest feeling of the person your about to sleep with. I like how she ended her article with "In this world, peace of mind is a Utopian concept." This quote shows her stand on AIDS education and I agree with her. When we had health and learned about sexual education there is a big chunk of it that is just about AIDS prevention and safe sex. When you learn about it they show you diseases and of course no one wants any of those things they are disgusting. That is how they get you to practice safe sex and for the most part it is a good strategy and effective for most people. At the same time it makes us scared to sleep around because we are afraid of getting AIDS. Then the example of the clothing company using pictures of models and some with AIDS written across their face and she called and asked if they actually had the disease. Which they did not and it was just another thing to scare the youth and make money off of it. Basically everything comes back to money and shaping how younger generations think and try to control them.
