Answer to Question 1

Stanley Milgram's1967 experiment on the small world phenomenon concluded that most people in the United States are separated by just six individuals (six degrees of separation). Thirty-five years later, another psychologist, Judith Kleinfeld, found that Milgram had stacked the deck in favor of success.But some more recent experiments have had findings similar to Milgram's. It has been shown that 250 million people who exchanged chat messages showed a link of less than seven,and 700 million people on Facebook showed a connection of less than five.It is possible that Milgram stumbled onto the truth.

Answer to Question 2

Some think that social research should be used by anyone for any purpose. Others think that social research should be used to improve society.The second of these is the opinion held by the majority of sociologists today.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.

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.
