Answer to Question 1

Gender quota laws are rules that require that a certain proportion of candidates for office or legislative seats be reserved for women. For example, Rwanda passed a quota law after civil war and genocide in the early 1990s, because women represented almost 70 percent of the remaining population and women's groups were among the most important surviving civilsociety organizations. Their influence and importance to Rwandan society at that time helped advance genderequity changes to Rwanda's new constitution, including the quota law.

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.
