Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
Discrimination is differential treatment based on race, class, sex, or other variables rather than on individual merit. Stereotyping is believing that one member of a cultural group will display certain behaviors or hold certain attitudes (usually negative) simply because he or she is a member of that cultural group. Stigmatization is the attribution of negative characteristics or identity to one person or group, causing feelings of rejection, alienation, and ostracization from society. Ethnocentrism is the belief that one's own cultural practices and values are inherently correct or superior to those of others.

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.
