Answer to Question 1

Economists attempt to explain how the limited resources and efforts of a society are
allocated among competing ends. To economists, an imbalance exists between
people's wants and society's ability to meet those wants. Some economists believe
that the most important fact of economics is the law of scarcity, which means that
there will never be enough resources to meet everyone's wants. Economists focus on
the complex workings of economic systems (such as monetary policy, inflation, and
the national debt), whereas sociologists focus on interconnections among the
economy, other social institutions, and the social organization of work. At the
macrolevel, sociologists may study the impact of transnational corporations on
industrialized and low-income nations. At the microlevel, sociologists might study
people's satisfaction with their jobs.

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.
