It is controversial whether AID Advocacy Groups(AGGs)'s ideas for hleping the people in developing countries get the health care for AIDs is reasonable or not. The lecture argues that they are not really possible in the real world, and makes points against the reading's claims that those plans will be helpful for those AIDS patients in developing countries.
The reading asserts that the drug companies are making too high profits out of these developing countires. The author mentions that such high pricing is immoral. This differs from the listening's position that it is fair for them to make profit just like any other companies. The speaker insists that more money will cause more investing, which means the companies can develope more and better drugs.
The author contends that governments should pay for AIDS drugs instead of individual people. The passage explains that buying in large quantities will make the price go down. This opposes the professor's claim that this is a basic academic problem. The lecture says that these governments are as poor as their citizens, so they cannot affort to buy drugs.
The writer argues that we should encourage these poor countries to make their own cheap versions of AIDS drugs. The reading insists that although it is illegal, it will reduce shipping costs, and also create plenty of jobs for the poor citizens living in the countury. This contradicts the lecture's contention that it is not only stealing, but also really dangerous. The speaker explains that the quality of the drugs won't be good, so it can sicken or kill patients.
To sum up, the author argues that AGGs' plans for the AIDS patients in developing countires will bring them hope. This casts doubt on the professor's opinion that they are not reasonable and will not work in the real world. |
