Social Ills
4th June 1981, people throughout the world have been surprised with the presence of new virus which is known as HIV. Although the virus has killed about millions of people in this world, scientists still cannot find any vaccine to treat this problem. However, how many of us are trying to find the vaccine for the virus of social ills, although it has been spread widely since hundred years ago? It is possible if we have found the vaccine for social ills before the black day, 4th June 1981; the HIV virus may not spread throughout this world. This is because the HIV virus had been firstly detected from a couple of homosexual in America. A popular saying goes, “it is as well to know which ways the wind blows,” as it is better to know first the causes of the social ills before we eagerly take precautions steps. From my view, lack of religious education among Malaysians is the underlying factor for this problem as we knew that none of the religions in this world asks their followers to be a bad person. It is important to give religious education to our children as early as 3 or 4 years old as there goes a saying, “spare the rod and spoil the child,” the children who are never been disciplined will grow up to be bad. It is definitely wrong if modernism parents think that religious education is not important in order to create a shining future for their children as religious education is like a barrier in their heart to prevent them from doing something bad such as playing truant. Other than that, it is believed that family crisis is one of the main factors for the disease. The children will be so depressed with the problem and they will do ‘something’ to release their tension. Majority parents from this kind of family are usually not taking care much on their children’s situation as they are more preferring to solve their own problems. The children felt free to do anything without parental concerned such as clubbing and racing. This is not good

    “The Age of AIDS” by frontline is an apt study for two reasons. First it details the process of identifying a disease which was new and mysterious; second in doing so it gives us insight on how epidemiology plays an important role. This gives us an understanding of epidemiology and its basic concepts in force while executing this role. The objectives of epidemiology of identifying the cause of disease, in this case AIDS, extent to which it has penetrated. Finding records for similar cases for further investigation which would help in finding the origins of the disease. Evaluating preventive and therapeutic measures, in this case the drug “AZT” was monitored and after sometime was found ineffective, because the HIV virus had formed immunity to this drug. This was possible to know in short span of time due to accumulation of data from all the test cases and assessing them regularly. One other important objective of epidemiology was indirectly explained, the objective of providing foundation for developing public policy. The program implicitly tells how ignorance from government led to transforming a disease with no cure, to a disease with no hope. There is a difference in not having a cure and not having hope. When there is no cure, it can be due lack of medical advance, which in due time might and will catch up, to bring forth better preventive measure and possible cure. Now not having a hope is not as simple as it sounds. It implies being alone, reduced to utter dejection from society and feeling helplessness. In early days, neglected by government to avoid controversies, detested by religious groups, feared by masses for possible chance of infection, people with AIDS were reduced to such helplessness and utter dejection, which I am sure, might not have any equal. This was possible not only because of indifference from government, but is also reflected in ignorance of CDC by administration and also discrimination not just by conservatives but even by the then…

    “Every 9.5 minutes someone in the United States is infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).” According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), there are approximately 1.5 million people living with HIV, and one out of five is not aware they are infected (CDC, 2011). The first documented case of HIV was from a blood sample retrieved in 1959 from an individual residing in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. There is no information on how this individual became infected or how it was believed to have arrived in the United States in 1969. There are a number of stories on how this life-threatening disease came about and how it made it to the United States. There is also a story of hunters eating a contaminated chimpanzee in the western part of Africa. Recent studies show HIV may have traveled from monkeys to humans as far back as the late 1800s.…

    In the 1980s, the words “AIDS” and “HIV” were not on the radar for most of American society. The words were just something people might occasionally hear when someone passed away, but these the deaths almost never occurred close to home. America would quickly become confronted with the threat of AIDS as a very serious health epidemic. If one were to ask someone during the 1980s their thoughts, they might reply with a vague response that AIDS was just a marginal disease affecting a remote section of the world. Discovery of AIDS was not the biggest news that happened in America, for they saw it more as an outside threat that they would not believe that AIDS to spread into the United States.…

    In 1985, President Ronald Reagan decided it was appropriate to publicly announce the new virus AIDS that could not be cured once caught.
