Answer to Question 1

Answer: The evolutionary perspective is a theoretical viewpoint in social psychology that searches for the causes of social behavior in the physical and psychological predispositions that helped our ancestors survive and reproduce. Natural selection is the process by which characteristics that help animals survive and reproduce are passed on to their offspring. An adaptation is a characteristic that is well designed for survival and reproduction in a particular environment. Natural selection may be considered the driving force behind evolution (what makes evolution happen), and adaptations are the products of natural selection: they are essentially our evolutionary legacy.

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.
