Answer to Question 1

Sociologists understand that individuals do have the ability to make their own decisions. However, they recognize that these decisions are largely constrained by their social environments. This is one of the core ideas of sociology.

Answer to Question 2

This theory holds that a particular type of person is likely to display prejudice. Authoritarian individuals were punished frequently as children. As a result, they grow up with a deep anger, are completely submissive to authority, and have a tendency to blame their troubles on people that they see as inferior to themselves.

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.
