Answer to Question 1

Functionalists view education as one of the most important components of society.

solidarity and stability in society. Durkheim also asserted that moral education is very

important because it conveys moral valuesthe foundation of a cohesive social order.

From this perspective, students must be taught to put the group's needs ahead of their

individual desires and aspirations. Contemporary functionalists suggest that education is

responsible for teaching U.S. values.

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.
