Answer to Question 1

An ideal response will:
1, Define selective exposure as the process through which people consciously choose to get the news from sources with views compatible to their own.
2,Assess whether selective exposure is a problem or a weakness. Most students should argue that it's a weakness because it can turn people off from politics and prevent compromise sincecitizens never hear the competing perspective on issues.

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response will:
1, Define the gender gap as the regular pattern in which women are more likely than men to support Democratic candidates.
2, Discuss one or more specific examples of issues in whicha gender gap is known to exist (e.g., view of an activist role for government, U.S. military intervention, restrictions on firearms, spending on social programs, or affirmative action).
3, Explain that women, because they have been politically and economically disadvantaged, have become more likely to support spending on social services to overcome these disadvantages.

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.
