Answer to Question 1

 Interdiction: stopping the movement of drugs across the border.
 Prosecution: enforcing laws that ban drug sale, possession, or use.
 Education: programs that try to convince people to stop using drugs or not to begin at all.
 Treatment: programs to help people overcome drug-related problems.

Answer to Question 2

 Radical-Left View: Drug laws (like all laws) reflect the interests of the powerful and criminalize poor people and minorities.
 Liberal View: Drug use is a symptom of the suffering of many people from various problems, such as poverty and powerlessness.
 Conservative View: Drug use is a symptom of poor moral instruction to young people. Schools, churches, and especially families should raise children with the moral values that will give them the strength to resist the temptation to use drugs.
 Radical-Right (Libertarian) View: The government threatens civil liberties by using police power to make arrests, seize property, and monitor the lives of people suspected of using drugs.

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.
