Essay from the year 2016 in the subject World History - Early and Ancient History, grade: 1,3, , language: English, abstract: The question about the sincerity of Roman Emperor Constantine's faith matters for two reasons. First, during his reign at the beginning of the fourth century AD Christianity became a religio licita, after having been only a superstitio illicita before. It was Constantine who really paved the way for a Christian empire, which has heavily influenced world history until now. The sincerity of his faith might explain his success. Second, this is a question about motive. If we can better understand the underlying motivations of Constantine, any other speculations about his life and his actions become more plausible. A Variety of sources are available to us, each one having strengths and limitations. Unfortunately, there are hardly any texts delivered by Constantine himself, which means that we can only speculate on the sincerity of his faith without ever being sure. Coins issued by Constantine are a reliable primary source, but being a very public item they might not tell us much on his private beliefs. The same holds for public documents issued by Constantine like the Edict of Milan. On the other side, we have two detailed accounts on his life by two of his contemporaries, Eusebius of Caesarea ( Life of Constantine ) and Lactantius ( On the deaths of the persecutors ). As both are Christians, we have to take into account the bias due to the incentive to portrait Constantine like a saint.

Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject Sociology - Medicine and Health, grade: 1,0, , language: English, abstract: This essay will provide a basis for a thick description of the AIDS issue in France. We describe the history of politics surrounding AIDS, the conception of Public Health in France, French ideologies and the relationship to stigma and language. All of these are of particular salience when addressing an issue like AIDS, which is a non-linear issue in that it cannot be attributed to any one cause. France has the highest number of HIV-positives in all Europe. The number of people living with HIV/AIDS in France has steadily increased in the last decade from 120,000 in 2005 to about 150.000 in 2015 (indexmundi, 2015). Its prevalence rate, 0.4%, is also relatively high compared to the rest of Europe, e.g. 0.2% in the UK and 0.1% in Germany. Every year between 1500-2000 people die of HIV/AIDS in France (Ibid). This is only about 1% of the total number of HIV-positives, showing that France does reasonably well in providing ART (anti-retroviral treatment). Rather they have been facing difficulties regarding prevention. The rate of newly diagnosed HIV infections has been decreasing, but only slowly, from 9.5 per 100 000 in 2005 to 6.3 per 100 000 in 2011 (WHO, 2011). It is striking that more than a third of seropositives remain undiagnosed in France (Supervie et al., 2014).
