Answer to Question 1

The following are suggested areas for students to address in their essays: Describe the setting of the Hawthorne experiment.

Identify the purpose of the Hawthorne experiment. Define the Hawthorne Effect.

Discuss the results of the Hawthorne experiment.

Encourage students to include any personal experiences regarding the Hawthorne Effect.

Answer to Question 2

A status is a socially defined position in a group or society characterized by certain

expectations, rights, and duties. Statuses exist independently of the specific people

occupying them. An ascribed status is a social position conferred at birth or received

involuntarily later in life, based on attributes over which the individual has little or no

control, such as race/ethnicity, age, and gender. An achieved status is a social position

that a person assumes voluntarily as a result of personal choice, merit, or direct effort.

Achieved statuses (such as occupation, education, and income) are thought to be

gained as a result of personal ability or successful competition. Most occupational

positions in modern societies are achieved statuses. Ascribed statuses have a

significant influence on the achieved statuses we occupy. A master status is the most

important status that person occupies, dominating all the person's other statuses.

Occupation is an example of a master status.

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.
