Answer to Question 1

Foreclosure involves no searching, but a commitment to an identity. Teens often choose identities of relatives or have them chosen by their families. Moratorium involves searching and no commitment. It is active searching for an identity prior to one being selected. Diffusion, the least mature identity status, is common among younger children and involves no searching and no commitment. Little interest in an identity is evident. Identity achievement follows searching and commitment to an identity. It is most common during later adolescence.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
