- ... fostering innovation, and Global sensitivity. Now, I don't dispute that these are challenges that we as human resource managers are going to face in the upcoming years but I think that the technology revolution, AIDS, downsizing or outsourcing, and sexual harassment are going to be bigger challenges.

I feel that as a Human Resource advisor the second major challenge I will face in the work place is going to be the AIDS virus.

- ... people as outsiders and therefore alienate them from many common social activities. One of the most prominent examples of people who suffer from this alienation are those with the HIV virus, more commonly known as AIDS.

In the beginning of "The Metamorphosis," the main character, Gregor, is transformed into a bug overnight and soon learns the difficulty of not being "normal." He learns to live in a way that does ...

- 107: The Human Immunodeficiency Virus And Mutations
- ... The topic of this paper is the human immunodeficiency virus, HIV, and whether or not mutations undergone by the virus allow it to survive in the immune system. The cost of treating all persons with AIDS in 1993 in the United States was $7.8 billion, and it is estimated that 20,000 new cases of AIDS are reported every 3 months to the CDC. This question dealing with how HIV survives in the immune system is of critical importance, not only in the search for a cure for the virus and its inevitable syndrome, AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome), but also so that over 500,000 Americans already infected with the virus could be saved.
