Pre-Writing: The Spread of Disease in the Global Community

The spread of disease in the global community is a serious issue. There are diseases like AIDS, HIV, and STD that spread around through unprotected sex. People can fight against and prevent the spread of disease by using condoms. To help prevent the spread of diseases, people need education and the acknowledgement of how there are ways to easily prevent getting or spreading the diseases. People need to focus on maintaining the epidemic of diseases by trying to improve the health system by structural change and a moral ethical approach. Abstinence and faithfulness is a good prevention on AIDS but when people live with AIDS, using condoms is the best choice even though it is against their belief because it is better to preserve their lives and prevent it from spreading onto others. But there may be altercations with the use of condoms for some countries because of their cultural, spiritual, and moral beliefs. Some of the countries’ cultural values may be complex to comply with condoms because people with strong traditional cultures will not help acknowledge them about AIDS and condoms. It is essential to focus on specific groups to point out the major cases in order to make a difference. There are women in countries who are disempowered by men whether they are married or not. A woman cannot insist that a man use a condom against his will.
