In either sex male or female, the hair and hair styling of the person are often a display of how the person sees him or her self. It is an expression of personality, attractiveness, and general image.
The effects of hair loss will often damage the self image the person carries and can have a very distressing outcome.
The degree of distress and worry resulting from hair loss is very much sex dependent. But on a general basis those people, especially males, who have a full head of hair, are seen as being virile, likeable and successful, yet people who have suffered natural hair loss are seen as being older and not so desirable. Paradoxically, such ‘balding’ people are often viewed as being wise, intelligent, and very conscientious.

HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a retrovirus which attacks certain kinds of white blood cells and so affects the immune system. It is commonly transmitted through blood or via semen resulting from sexual contact. In the final stages of the infection AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) develops which causes sufferers to lose the ability to fight off other infections.This can often prove fatal.
HIV often has an effect on the skin, mouth, and brain. The early effects of HIV are similar to influenza such as a fever, headache, and general lethargy. Some swelling of the lymph glands in the neck and groin may be noticed also. The virus may manifest its presence within a short time period, or conversely it can lie in the body, still multiplying, for a number of years before showing itself.

The lack of oxygen reaching the brain is referred to as cerebral hypoxia. The brain needs a constant supply of oxygen via the blood vessels. Any interruption to the oxygen supply can have very serious consequences resulting in severe brain damage, or can even prove fatal.
The effects of lack of oxygen to the brain can be mild or serious. In the mild form the effects will show as a degree of impairment to the memory and a tendency to lose concentration. Other mild signs will include decrease in exercising powers of judgment and a reduction in body coordination.
The more serious effects can be convulsions or seizures, the onset of a coma, a complete non recognition of light, and ultimately brain death.

To suffer poverty one is living in a permanent state of need or destitution. Any person who does not know the feeling experienced by not knowing where your next meal is coming from, or having a daily struggle to scratch around to feed crying, hungry children does not know anything about poverty.

Any casual visitor to areas where poverty is rampant will shake his or her head and wonder how poverty can exist. Frequently these well dressed, well fed people will wonder how in the year 2011 that such conditions can exist.

About fifty years ago when TV became a common household item there was much public concern expressed as to the effect it would have on the learning capacity, and disciplines of children and the youth of the day.
Today when personal computers are part of the furniture in most homes the same concerns are being expressed, especially worries about the effects of computer games on children. Concerns have been voiced about risks associated with health and decreased academic achievement at school or college.
Certainly some computer games have a violent content which may encourage aggressive behavior and falsely teach the child that violence is a norm of life. But many computer games are turning out to be natural teachers. They motivate the child to repeatedly interact with the material being displayed, they are a source of lesson practice, and furthermore can provide rewards for learning/playing well.
