Answer to Question 1

Structural-functionalists would argue that there is a short supply of persons who have the talent and ability to become physicians and an even shorter supply of those with the ability to become surgeons. Being a physician involves a significant investment of time and money.

Answer to Question 2

Some believe that the greater social stress of living a lower-class life may cause mental illness, while others believe that the onset of mental illness may cause people to lose their jobs and move downwards in the social classes.

Hypertension is a silent killer because it is deadly and has no significant early symptoms. The danger from hypertension is the extra load on the heart, which can lead to hypertensive heart disease and kidney damage. This occurs without any major symptoms until the high blood pressure becomes extreme. Regular blood pressure checks are an important method of catching hypertension before it can kill you.
