The story focuses on how Chanda and the people around her are affected by AIDS. In the community that Chanda lives in, mentioning AIDS is taboo, and when Chanda felt the loss of her loved ones, she had difficulty finding anyone to talk to. When it was revealed that Chanda’s mother had AIDS, Chanda wanted to change what her community thought of the disease, “I’m tired of lies and hiding and being afraid. I’m not ashamed of AIDS! I’m ashamed of being ashamed” (Stratton 181). Rather than tolerating the truth and hiding from her community, Chanda wanted to teach people that AIDS should not be taboo. She wants them to accept that AIDS is a reality and it is a disease many are affected by. Chanda, Mrs. Tafa, and Esther, who were not afraid of the truth, inspired people to be less sensitive when bringing up the topic of AIDS. Personally, it is understandable why the people in Chanda’s community don’t want to bring up the topic of AIDS. It is human nature to avoid what we fear as our natural instincts tell us to flee from reality. This is related to our human condition, as all humans are terrified by death. Although, if one person bravely stands, many others are empowered to stand up and face their fear. Through her story, Chanda taught the readers that acceptance can be empowering and cause a positive chain reaction of

They embarked on a journey to convey the experiences of AIDS orphans living in a township, situated in the Eastern Cape of Africa. The title is substantiated because only the orphans have the experience.

Giving the individuals support, leading them to a better road. Giving them opportunity, changing for the good then just giving up on the first time. Not everybody is perfect, or getting it right at the first try. I agree with Rodriguez propose, because I was once in a gang without the help from the community I wouldn’t be here writing this paper to better my education and future. My community had a lack of support for it individuals, many of these individuals are in prison, street or eight feet underground. Some lucky individual, like me were able to receive little support from the community leading us in a better road. Now that the community had given us a little bit of support notice that if they wouldn’t of support us more and other individuals they wouldn’t be so much conflict in our society.

I’m involved in a group at the University of Minnesota called “ESA” that stands for Ethiopian student association, every year once a year we put on a show that displays the Ethiopian culture. I’m also involved in a summer camp as a mentor for young kids. The camp's philosophy is to teach young Ethiopian kids that were born in America about their culture and how important it is to embrace it.

While of a similar flavor to that of Windows 7 Ubuntu is a Debian based desktop distribution. Ubuntu is a good general desktop application geared more toward graphic multimedia usage. Ubuntu also has the ability to run some Microsoft programs such as Microsoft Office through the use of a software program called wine which allows Linux like operating systems to run windows applications.

This paper analyzes and compares the differences between the Windows and Linux’s operating system in an enterprise. It emphasizes the features in these two operating system such as history, cost, security, user-friendliness, performance, and future trends. It shows how impactful these features can be when an enterprise chooses an operating system. The research in this paper highlights the pros and cons of an enterprise using one operating system or the other. It directs the readers to have a better understanding on which operating system is better for specific instances. Readers will have an enhance perception on Windows and Linux and the platforms they serve. In our paper we try to fully analyze Windows and Linux’s operating system, so an enterprise can choose the best operating system for themselves.

There are advantages and disadvantages of Linux operating system. The first advantages of Linux operating system is it is free to obtain [3]. Unlike Microsoft, Linux distribution can be installed on more than one computer without any cost charged [3]. Besides that, Linux can run perfect on old computers and enable users to browse the Internet, email, play games, create and edit documents and others [3]. In security aspect, Linux is much stronger than Windows. This is because Linux uses smart authorization management [5], which requires user to authorize any action that might harm their computer by entering the password [5]. By this way, users are less likely to be tricked into installing malware and running virus programs [5]. In addition, if user faces any technical problem, they can visit any of the Linux online forums and post the

Both Windows and Linux come in many different forms. All the different forms of Windows come from Microsoft, the various distributions of Linux come from different companies (ex. Red Hat, SuSE, Linspire, Ubuntu, Mandriva, Knoppix, etc). Windows has two main lines: “Win9x”, which is consists of Windows 95, 98, 98SecondEdition and ME, and “NT class” which consists of Windows NT, 200 and XP. On a side note, Windows first had version 3.x which was made before Windows 95 by a couple of years. The various types of Linux are called distributions. All the Linux distributions released around the same time frame will use the same kernel, which are the guts of the OS. They will differ with the add-on software provided,

The Linux was originally founded by Linus Torvalds. In 1991, he was a second year computer science student in Finland. He sought after an operating system that was similar to the UNIX system, but both UNIX and the hardware it ran on were excessively expensive. A UNIX version called Minix was available for free, but it did not reasonably meet his needs as it was simply an operating system for students, designed primarily as a teaching tool rather than an industry strength operating system. As a result, Torvalds studied Minix and proceeded to set out to write a new version. After six months of working to produce the new operating system, Torvalds made very little progress toward the utility of the system.

In Windows, you can run lots of different program programs. There are customized programs and off-the-shelf (common) programs. These allow you to do everything from running your bowling league to typing up a correspondence.
