Answer to Question 1

class consciousness

Answer to Question 2

beliefs such as equality and group superiority are inconsistent, as are beliefs in humanitarianism and achievement, activity and leisure, science and religion, and other examples from the text. We can hold opposite values at the same time because we apply them situationally. For example, we value success but don't care how it is achieved, we may value freedom more for ourselves (it's ok for our friends to be gay) but not others (we may be less tolerant of homosexuality in general), we believe science can save us but also believe in salvation through religion. These contrasts exemplify the both/and perspective.

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.
