Background of the Study

The problem of HIV and AIDS has become a global one in the short time since the identification of the virus. Although there is no vaccine to protect against the virus, knowledge and education are two powerful shields against infection—and it has become clear in recent years that impoverished women in the developing world are particularly heavily impacted by HIV transmission and development of AIDS (UNAIDS, 2016). The goal of finding a way to slow or completely halt the spread of HIV and the development of AIDS has been an epidemiological conundrum for many years. Promoting health and ...

Introduction

The African diaspora has resulted in a wave of “migration” of Africans from the African continent to other parts of the world. The main reason for this is the slave dispersal that moved Africans from Africa to America, the Middle East and even to the Far East. The dispersal that took place is thought to be one of the greatest forced migrations in the history of humankind (Britannia Academic: Slavery). There is always the ideology that all Africans, no matter where they find themselves around the world, are bound together by their traditional cultures and diasporic experiences. This paper ...

The Walker Within: How Zombies Define Humanity Since it first hit comic store shelves in 2003, The Walking Dead has captivated readers, gaining even more prominence when it was made into a television series by the same name in October, 2010 by AMC.

Abstract

This paper analyzes the impact of foreign financial assistance on Haiti, the various types of rehabilitation programs undertaken using foreign aid, and the role of the government in developing healthcare facilities by analyzing a wide variety of source materials. In the absence of foreign aid, Haiti would have been worse off because of weak institutional structures and inadequate delivery mechanisms.
