From the Paper
"AIDS has been especially devastating to the dance community, both in terms of personal lives lost and talent the world will never see. Well into the second decade of the AIDS virus, we tally the losses and wonder who will be next. The roster of victims reads like a who's who of incomparable talent from the fields of musical theater to classical ballet. New AIDS help groups are formed continuously, as each field rallies in support of its own membership. Professions allied to dance, such as theater, fashion, and music, have responded by creating their own support networks for artists terminated in their most germinal years.

Promoting AIDS awareness and activism are groups such as Gay Men's Health Crisis (GMHC), AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power (ACT UP), and Community Health Project (CHP). They in turn have encouraged professions severely affected by AIDS to rally. Several groups have already taken steps to confront the epidemic. In the arts, the theater, fashion, and music .... "

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that HIV infection represents among the most pressing public-policy and public-health problems worldwide. The writer points out that in July of 1982, the disease was renamed AIDS, or acquired immune deficiency syndrome. The writer remarks that since then, the disease's origins, the factors affecting it, the causes behind it, the symptoms arising from it, the groups at risk from it and the practices leading to it have been widely and comprehensively researched. Further, the writer notes that despite painstaking efforts and billions of dollars spent on research and despite the numerous drugs created to control and relieve its various symptoms, there is still no cure for it. The writer maintains and discusses that many blame the delayed political response and lack of acknowledgment by the Reagan administration for the lack of control over AIDS.

From the Paper
"Since the first AIDS cases were reported in 1981, through mid-1994 more than 402,000 AIDS cases, and more than 241,000 deaths have been reported in the United States alone. It is estimated that nearly 1 million Americans had been infected with the virus through the mid-1990s, but had not yet developed clinical symptoms. In addition, although the vast majority of documented cases have occurred in the United States, AIDS cases have also been reported in almost every country in the world.
HIV infection and AIDS represent among the most pressing public-policy and public-health problems worldwide. Concerted efforts are under way to address the problem at many levels, and they offer hope for successful strategies to combat HIV-induced disease."

Abstract
In this paper, the writer discusses that the inadequate health policies and the issue of poverty are major reasons why African countries cannot lower thee rate of AIDS in the global community.

From the Paper
"According to UNAIDS (2006) "people living with HIV, women, young people and other most-at-risk populations, such as sex workers, men who have sex with men, drug users and prisoners, should play a major role in the setting of national targets" (p. 9). This is an unambiguous call for aggressive stances to be taken in the fight to quell the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Uganda and other afflicted countries. Furthermore, one must take a pragmatic approach to the problem in question, as resources such as drugs are not always affordable, if not consistently available. This would entail implementing cost-effective measures such as primary prevention that was specific in targeting reservoirs and "vectors" for the transmission of disease.
In particular, inconsistent behavioral responses to HIV/AIDS are particularly notorious for impeding the progress of HIV/AIDS prevention. "

Abstract
The writer of this paper details the history of the Hula dance and its significance as a ritual of religion, celebration, mourning and communication. This brief, yet concise paper, examines how, in ancient times, dancers were selected for hula training in childhood, spending their formative years under the care of a hula master, separated from the outside world and dedicated to the goddess Laka, patron of the hula. Hawaii's history of births, deaths, loves and battles were expressed in the Hula dance. The writer also details the accompanying music and melodic poetry, to which the dancer's swayed, which include the double-gourd drum, called ipu heke.

From the Paper
"The history of births, deaths, loves, and battles of the people were preserved in chants and dance. Since Hawaii's history was recorded as dance, "hula dancers were expected to remember and repeat every dance step perfectly and under punishment of death," for "to change the dance was to change history." Hula was the written word for ancient Hawaiians, told through the movements of the dancers' feet, hands, and body movements. Through dance, stories were told, genealogies were kept, and beliefs were shared and imposed, thus to change the steps would be to change the message."
