Answer to Question 1

Answer: Injunctive norm: A norm that defines what behaviors are typically approved or disapproved. Descriptive norm: A norm that defines what behaviors are typically performed. They are different in that the former describes what should or should not be done, whereas the latter describes what most people actually do.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Injunctive norm: A norm that defines what behaviors are typically approved or disapproved. If an injunctive norm against littering is made salient to a person who litters, he/she may decide to refrain from littering.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
