Answer to Question 1

Answer: Key points may include:
 The relationship is linear with theory being the logical start.
Policy should be the end result not the beginning.
 Theory helps us develop meaningful research.
 Policy should be based on the results of experimental research and evaluation.
 There is a feedback loop that represents further clarification of theory based on research.
 Examples like scared straight, three-strikes and boot camps illustrate how policymakers did not address research or theory

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Key points may include:
The context of a theory may be social or intellectual.
 Social forces are informal surroundings and significant events taking place like war.
 Intellectual refers to learning ideas that influence our thinking such as from teachers.
 Assumptions may bias our interpretation of events.
 When events occur in time influences the theorist and his or her readers.
 Writers of theory may follow in the footsteps of their predecessors.
 Conservative or liberal sentiments may change over time and influence theory.

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.
