Answer to Question 1

Answer to Question 2

Divorce is the legal process of dissolving a marriage that allows former spouses to remarry if they so choose. Most divorces today are granted on the grounds of irreconcilable differences, meaning that there has been a breakdown of the marital relationship for which neither partner is specifically blamed.

At the macrolevel, societal factors contributing to higher rates of divorce include changes in social institutions, such as religion and family. At the microlevel, a number of factors contribute to a couple's statistical likelihood of divorcing. (1) marriage at an early age (2) a short acquaintanceship before marriage (3) disapproval of the marriage by relatives and friends (4) limited economic resources and low wages (5) a high school education or less (6) parents who are divorced or have unhappy marriages
(7) the presence of children at the beginning of the marriage.

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.
