Answer to Question 1

a

Answer to Question 2

Moral and religious leaders teach us that we should extend kindness to everyone, but in fact, most people tend to be more generous toward those they see as similar to themselves. For example, if you watch someone who is feeling socially rejected by others, you will feel the pain and your brain will react accordingly, but you will react more strongly if the person feeling rejected is one of your relatives or close friends. From an evolutionary standpoint, it makes sense to be altruistic toward your relatives, and someone who seems similar is more likely to be related to you than someone very different. However, the strength of this in-group bias varies among individuals. Most people show brain responses that differ in several ways between viewing faces of their own race versus faces of another race, but the difference is greater in people with a strong bias toward their own race.

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.
