The integration of immigrants in the social life of the society is extremely important because it contributes to the inclusion of the immigrant population and prevents the emergence of problems associated with the exclusion of immigrants. In this respect, it should be said that the exclusion of immigrants raises a number of problems, including the problem of the lower employment opportunities for immigrants, limited educational opportunities, growing crime rates, social tension and other problems, which gradually affect the entire society. In such a situation, the integration of immigrants into a normal social life is crucial. At the same time, it should be said that the integration of immigrants into the society is traditionally conducted by the state and it is state policy which define the immigration policies and the position of the immigrant population. However, today, the state can hardly cope with all the problems immigrants can face in the modern society. In such a situation, the assistance of public organizations is needed because public, non-profitable organizations can facilitate the adaptation of immigrants to the new cultural and social environment and help them to get integrated into the society. On the other hand, the integration of the immigrant population into the society should not lead to the total assimilation of immigrants but rather provide them with an opportunity to find their own place in the new country, society and culture. In such a context, the functioning of such organizations as the North York Community House is particularly important because such organizations do not only help immigrants to adapt to the life in the totally new socio-cultural environment, but also preserve their culture, traditions and identity.

Every year more and more people die or are registered as living with HIV, and these numbers continue to grow. Due to this, this is urgent and absolutely necessary to work out the concepts of HIV prevention, where one of the important ones should be HIV education. Nowadays scientists and doctors know much more about HIV, about the ways of transmission and possible treatment procedures. This is evident, that further researches are necessary to overcome this disease. However as we already said – prevention is the key element for protecting people from HIV. Education is very important in fighting with HIV, first of all if we are speaking about young people. Thus there are two main reasons, why HIV education is so important: to prevent them from being infected, as very often HIV is transmitted through unsafe sex contacts and drugs usage and to reduce stigma and discrimination, because people, who are already infected, experience discrimination in health care, employment or housing spheres (Aggleton, 2).
People use mirrors regularly. In fact, they are commodities people often take for granted and do not pay much attention to them, though they may have a considerable potential when their practical application is improved and extended. In such a context, it is possible to focus on several issues which can extend the actual potential of mirrors and their possible improvements:
