Document Summary
Louise binder- pessimist when she speaks but optimist when she thinks if you really want to make change you need to be an optimist but to make change need to speak like a pessimist. It all begins with power according to louise. You need to feel entitled to empower. You can analyze needs and remove barriers and how we can help remove them but at the end of the day power comes from within the individual and they will take it or not. Whatever gives you a sense of power is how you will get it. Hiv and power are inextricably linked- those people who have power do not have this virus but we know virus thrives where power does not exist. Resource poor settings- third world- we have resource poor settings in canada (aboriginal communities- downtown east side of vancouver) Power is the driving force behind the hiv epidemic: Where it does not, the virus thrives.
