Answer to Question 1

Symbolic interactionists examine how microlevel contacts between

people may produce either greater racial tolerance or increased levels of

hostility. In the contact hypothesis, symbolic interactionists point out that

contact between people from divergent groups should lead to favorable

attitudes and behavior when certain factors are present. Members of

each group must (1) have equal status, (2) pursue the same goals, (3)

cooperate with one another to achieve their goals, and (4) receive

positive feedback when they interact with one another in positive,

nondiscriminatory ways. When individuals meet someone who does not

conform to their existing stereotype, they frequently ignore anything that

contradicts the stereotype, or they interpret the situation to support their

prejudices. Symbolic interactionist perspective make us aware of the

importance of intergroup contact and the fact that it may either intensify or

reduce racial and ethnic stereotyping and prejudice.

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.
