Answer to Question 1

Answer to Question 2

Fertility is the actual level of childbearing for an individual or a population. The level of

fertility in a society is based on biological and social factors. The primary biological

factor affecting fertility in a population is the number of women of childbearing age

(usually between ages 15 and 45). Other biological factors affecting fertility include the

general health and level of nutrition of women of childbearing age. Social factors

influencing the level of fertility include the roles available to women in a society and

values and beliefs about ideal family size. Based on biological capability alone, most

women could produce twenty or more children during their childbearing years.

Fecundity is the term for the potential number of children who could be born if every

woman reproduced at her maximum biological capacity. Fertility rates are not as high

as fecundity rates because people's biological capabilities are limited by social factors

such as practicing voluntary abstinence and refraining from sexual intercourse until an

older age, as well as by contraception, voluntary sterilization, and abortion. Additional

social factors affecting fertility include significant changes in the number of available

partners for sex and/or marriage (e.g., as a result of war), increases in the number of

women of childbearing age in the workforce, and high rates of unemployment. The

most basic measure of fertility is the crude birth ratethe number of live births per

1,000 people in a population in a given year.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
