Answer to Question 1

Answer: The answer may include any number of techniques designed to make members work hard and exert effort for the club with little external justification. Ronald may consider having members go through a hazing, and do something either dangerous or embarrassing. Alternatively, he may have members pay a large sum of money to join the club, or donate a large amount of time to the club to be a member.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Both findings demonstrate the power of dissonance to alter our attitudes and beliefs to make them less dissonant with our behaviors. It arouses dissonance to do something nice for someone we don't like, so we reduce the dissonance by convincing ourselves that we may like our adversaries more than we initially thought. It also arouses dissonance to do something mean or unkind to someone whom we like. We reduce this dissonance by bringing our attitudes toward our mistreated friends into line with our behavior; in essence, we work to convince ourselves that they are not as likable as we initially thought.

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.
