Answer to Question 1

Plato considered Forms to be the ideal archetypes or essences of everything that exists, the perfect ideals of every meaningful object and idea.
- This was Plato's solution to the monumental conflict between reality-as-change and reality-as-eternal.

Answer to Question 2

- Rationalism: The position that reason has precedence over the ways of acquiring knowledge or, more strongly, that it is the unique path to knowledge.
- Empiricism: The position that the senses (and sense experience) are primary in acquiring knowledge.

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.
