Answer to Question 2

Education is the social institution responsible for the systematic transmission of

knowledge, skills, and cultural values within a formally organized structure. Education

is a powerful and influential force in contemporary societies. As a social institution,

education imparts values, beliefs, and knowledge considered essential to the social

reproduction of individual personalities and entire cultures. Education grapples with

issues of societal stability and social change, reflecting society even as it attempts to

shape it. Education serves an important purpose in all societies. At the microlevel,

people must acquire the basic knowledge and skills they need to survive in society. At

the macrolevel, the social institution of education is an essential component in

maintaining and perpetuating the culture of a society across generations. Cultural

transmission is the process by which children and recent immigrants become

acquainted with the dominant cultural beliefs, values, norms, and accumulated

knowledge of a society.

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.
