How does the author of Aids in Africa: Dying by the numbers organize information to build his argument? Does he includes any counteragument? Why or why not? What kinds of statistics, graphs, or illustrations does the author include? In what ways do these visuals strenthen the author's arguments?

Question

Answer:
The author builds his argument on statistic that shows Africa as the worst affected by this epidemic. He also, presents several factors such as poverty, social stability, healthcare and transportation which present a barrier, when it comes to implement awareness and factors that could predispose people from being infected. The author uses census and statistic gathered from the United Nations, Unaids, World Bank and the world health organization. These visuals strengthen the author’s arguments because many families in Africa can barely survive this epidemic. Also, this situation is far from being resolved because of over-crowding hospitals and limited resources. Another issue is that, patients cannot receive adequate treatment because of lack of specialized training and staff shortages
