    1. Well, as a person with AIDS, I suffer in two basic ways. I suffer from the disease itself, and I suffer from the stigma attached to being diagnosed with this disease. The end to both aspects of this suffering will come only if the vast resources of the Federal Government are turned on this problem.

      I think the idea about AIDS that many people think it is embracing is a huge issue. Some times the person who have the disease is a normal person but he carried it from someone who did not tell that he has it.

    2. I do my best to do as much as I can to dispel misconceptions about the disease. People don’t have to be afraid to be in the same room with us, people don’t have to be afraid to swim in the same swimming pool. I believe that gay organizations across the country should be given more information concerning guidelines that can be disseminated to the gay community in terms of—in terms of ways that gay men can protect themselves from the disease, rather than causing the paranoia and hysteria that the information that has been disseminated so far caused.

      So is he is trying to support the homosexuality campaigns and try to give them suggestions as well? I feel like this is a big issue around this topic that should be studied well since it does not just cause diseases, it affect the society negatively as well.

    3. Mrs. BOXER. I wanted to ask the panel, if anyone can address this, if you feel that you are given enough information about the disease, and then the second part, do you think that the gay communities throughout the country, from your knowledge, are being given enough information so that they can perhaps make some changes in their life to try and avoid it …

      For me, I feel like the answer of this question should be , if god gave us brains to think, why do those people who practice homosexuality are still thinking of ways to avoid the diseases that results from this practice? we need to put in mind that anything outside of our primitiveness is going to cause tragedies.

    1. This is it: woman’s place is in the home.

      Yes, I believe that the right place for is women is home. Women role in life is not politics. However, if men, who are in the power are neglecting the needs and rights of women, then actions have to be taken.

    1. “I Am Only a Piece of Machinery”: Housewives Analyze Their Problems

      While reading the article, I asked myself that am I really busy with house work and having no leisure time, or in my case enough for my study. I am, in fact, a mother of two children and still have enough time and enjoying being a wife and a mother at the same time. Simply, because my husband feels the responsibility to share home duties with me. The article is depicted the life of mother as a piece of hell. However, the reality is life with being married and having children is a piece of heaven.

    1. The single most important product in the early twentieth-century culture of consumption was the automobile, and the number of cars produced more than tripled during the 1920s. Like many other products, however, marketing cars to consumers effectively became as important as manufacturing them efficiently. This 1927 advertisement for Paige-Jewett cars suggests how manufacturers and advertising firms used colors and new styles to differentiate their products from those of competitors. Buying became confused with self-expression as consumers were urged to purchase products as a way to display individual taste and distinction.

      Marketing becomes the biggest deceptive business nowadays. The more deceptive you are, the better sales men you become. Best example is car industry. Cars become a piece of paper while it is used to be made of hard metal. Car industries are hungry of money.

    1. Unpunished Crimes Against Negroes.

      There should be strict rules for both blacks and whites since it'll reduce the amount of crimes.

    2. Newspaper Lies about Negro Crime

      Newspaper is one of the most effective ways that impacts on people, so I think they used to lie in the news meanly in order to erupt people.

    1. An unidentified man, young woman and a 3 month old baby were found dead on the street at the intersection of 47th street and Wentworth avenue. She had attempted to board a car there when the mob seized her, beat her, slashed her body into ribbons and beat the Baby’s brains out against a telegraph pole.

      It seems like people did not have any sympathy among each other. At least they should have had a sympathy among babies and mothers.

    1. “The rioting of yesterday emphasizes the need of intelligent co-operation on both sides. Both can be blamed for this unfortunate occurrence. Violence will not help to solve the problems of the races. Some real constructive action at this time tending toward the creation of a commission to adjucate differences arising from time to time will do much toward solving the problem. Both races have rights and the rights of each should be respected by the other.”

      In my opinion, I think he is trying to send a message to people and convince them that the only way to solve this problem is to coexist and respect each other.

    1. Some kind of demonstration began in the Liberty Theatre Wednesday night but the colored people took absolutely no part in it, and the only man arrested was a white man

      It is such a good behavior that the colored people did not do anything so they do not increase the problem. Also, it is a good sign that a white man was arrested since he broke the rules and it seems that people started to be kind of treated equally.

    2. In spite of the promise of the Mayor to cut out the two objectionable scenes in the second part, which show a white girl committing suicide to escape from a Negro pursuer, and a mulatto politician trying to force marriage upon the daughter of his white benefactor, these two scenes still form the motif of the really unimportant incidents, of which I enclose a list.

      There is a big difference between the reaction of people after the movie of "Birth of a Nation" and the song of "Jump Jim Crow" when a lot of people used the word of "Jim Crow", in order to make fun of the colored people and on the other hand, because the colored did not have a power, the NAACP was trying to cut some of the raciest scenes in the movie.

    3. The film depicted the South, following the assassination of President Lincoln, as ruled by rapacious African Americans, who by the film’s end were heroically overthrown from power by the Ku Klux Klan.

      Even though African Americans were oppressed, they should not have done such a thing since they did not have a power. They should have made something legal that can fix the relationships with the white people.

    1. What is a successful life?

      A few years ago, a successful life for me was be a good student, get good grades, study in a good school, and get a good job. However, successful life for me now is to be a good person, raise my children in a good way, be able to benefit the society.

    1. Fifth. We have another good use for surplus wealth in providing our cities with halls suitable for meetings of all kinds, and for concerts of elevating music.

      Even though I agree with him to build hospitals, libraries, and universities, I do not agree with the halls since I think this is one of the country's tasks to provide such these things for people. I think, there are a lot of people who deserve to have charities more than building halls. The main idea for rich people to benefit the society by giving their monies is to benefit the society and reduce the poverty in the country.

    2. is that a free library occupies the first place, provided the community will accept and maintain it as a public institution, as much a part of the city property as its public schools, and, indeed, an adjunct to these.

      I think this is one of the best ideas that can help the society. Since in my country we do not have much libraries that encourage the children or people to come and read, a lot of people are not used to read and they do not like reading. In my opinion, if someone gave this valuable gift in my country, he will definitely benefit the society and the number of readers may increase a lot.

    3. Indeed, it is difficult to set bounds to the share of a rich man's estate which should go at his death to the public through the agency of the State, and by all means such taxes should be graduated,

      I think in my opinion, there should be a specific amount of money that should be given for poor people and the rest is distributed between his family. In other words, the amount of money should be the same for any person and it should not depend on the person's wealth.

    4. The State of Pennsylvania now takes-subject to some exceptions-one tenth of the property left by its citizens. The budget presented in the British Parliament the other day proposes to increase the death duties; and, most significant of all, the new tax is to be a graduated one.

      I really like the idea that there are taxes that are paid from rich people since if we think about it if a person dies, the money he has where is it going to be? it is not a good idea to leave it and there are many families who really need someone to support them.

    1. Cast down your bucket among these people who have, without strikes and labour wars, tilled your fields, cleared your forests, builded your railroads and cities, and brought forth treasures from the bowels of the earth, and helped make possible this magnificent representation of the progress of the South.

      In my opinion, Washington is trying to talk to the black people first in order to make it sympathetic to the white people and make them willing to improve their relationships with the black people.

    2. “Cast down your bucket where you are”— cast it down in making friends in every manly way of the people of all races by whom we are surrounded.

      It is a nice idea to" cast down your bucket where you are" and this is one of the ways that will improve the relationships between races , although it is sometimes hard to try to find someone who is willing to accept you and who you are.

    1. shall provide equal but separate accommodations for the white, and colored races, by providing two or more passenger coaches for each passenger train, or by dividing the passenger coaches by a partition so as to secure separate accommodations:

      I feel like Plessy did not win anything from the court except adding the word "Equal". After adding the new laws, it seems like people, who added the new laws, were trying to make it seems nice but in my opinion it is not, since what I found when I looked in the internet is that anything for blacks was a low quality which did not support the word "equal but separate".
