I have to do a report on leprosy for one of my classes, but i can't seem to find anything on:

-How you can get the disease

-If the disease is communicable

-If it is caused by a birth defect or heredity

-And if it can be prevented and how

I found everything else, so if you can find ANY of these things, *not necessarily all of them* I would be glad to give you a 5. Your help is greatly appreciated.

It didn't take much looking, but here you go...

1. Leprosy is caused by an infection of a bacterium called 'Mycobacterium leprae'.

2. It is transmitted from person to person when the infected individual coughs or sneezes. It can also infect someone with a weak emmune system just through direct physical contact for a prolonged period.

3. It is not a birth defect and is not hereditary. It's caused by infection, therefore cannot be transmitted genetically.

4. Because it's caused by infection, the only way to possibly prevent it is by avoiding close physical contact with people who are infected and have not been treated. People on long-term medication become noninfectious and no longer transmit the organism that causes the disease.


Hope I helped somewhat =]

I have to do a report on the 7th amendment and i read what it is but i'm having trouble understanding what it means. I have to write how it effects the world and what i think of it. Can someone tell me what it means, like maybe examples.
Thanks a bunch!

So instead of quoting something from the internet, I'll try and explain it as best as I can...

The 7th Amendment determines when a jury is needed in civil cases(people vs. organisations).

Nowadays, juries are normally just used in criminal cases, but back when the Bill of Rights was written, juries were used in civil cases as well.

The 7th Amendment makes sure that a jury will be used in all cases where people sue each other for "sums exceeding $20" (which, when the Bill of Rights was written, was worth about $400 in today's money).

The 7th amendment also preserves the common law tradition that juries decide the verdict of a case, not judges. Judges are used to determine what evidence is legally admissible in a case and Juries decide what evidence actually proves whether the defendant is guilty or innocent.

I guess one way that the 7th amendment affects the world is that while judges are the legal experts, the community whom makes up the jury ultimately decides the final verdict. The way I see it, there is both a pro and a con to this. The pro would be that select people from the community are involved and are able to come together and agree upon something that, in the end, will effect the entire community. The con would that these select people are not legal experts. They don't know how to assess the evidence and therefore they may wrongfully convict someone of something they didn't do, or vice versa. There's also the point that many people are stubborn and some jury members enter the courtroom with their decision already made, without even bothering listening to the facts/evidence.

haha, that's all I've got. Sorry it's so long, I definitely didn't intend it to be... Hope I helped somewhat =
